Traveling to Thailand has its own charms and repels but today, we will talk about the reasons and the best places to visit Thailand and things to keep in your mind and backpack.

Reasons to travel Thailand

Pink Lakes

Pink lakes work as magnets on the tourists in Thailand. The north-eastern lakes in Thailand turn pink every winter with red lotuses blooming all over carpeting the lake. And this eye-catching-heart-warming-oh-so-majestic view lasts for about three months; December to February. You can hire a boat to take a closer look at this beautiful view. The best time to enjoy the amazing glance is from sunrise to midday.

Beach Football

Enough of fighting over Hala Madrid and Barcelona or Ronaldo vs Messi. Rather have some quality time playing football at the beaches of Thailand.

Things to keep in mind while traveling to Thailand

When Thailand is such a fun to travel, there are things that might surprise the first time visitors. Here is a list of a bunch of dos and don’ts when traveling to Thailand. This Thailand tourism guide will help you have more fun and fewer issues.

1. You have to be respectful of the king and the royal family. The tip is to be humble even with poor.
2. Before traveling to Thailand, learn a bit about their customs and behave in a certain way there. Some of the tips that we would add are, try to say thank you and please often, bow when you meet someone, do not wear shoes inside the house or the temples, and never touch or pat someone’s head as it’s considered disrespectful.
3. There are lots of homeless dogs on the streets of Thailand affected by several diseases. Whether you’re a dog person or not, our suggestion is that you should keep your proper distance. It’s good if you want to feed them or be kind but don’t forget to take care of your hygiene and health.
4. Beware of scams!! You might encounter overcharging taxi drivers and shopkeepers, pocket-pickers, and the police. Thai police are guilty of lotting the foreigners. You have to be smart to prevent the scams from happening and to deal them if needed.
5. Prostitution is pretty casual in Thailand. Be safe and protected (Y’all know how!!) You might also come across ladyboys (men in women clothes), the tip is to avoid them as well.
6. Keep your hands off the bucket drinks. You won’t even remember what happened after a drink or two.
7. There are a lot of accidents happening every day because of the rash driving. Be alert while crossing the roads (streets as well). Use pedestrians to walk and be careful on pedestrians crossing as well.
8. Take tuk-tuks (reciprocate of taxis) during the days as they are more convenient and taxis at night.
9. Eat with spoon and use fork to hold and push the food. They will judge you badly if you eat directly with the folk.
10. Wear decent clothes (knees and elbows covered) while visiting the temples.
11. Be a little sufficient when choosing the accommodation. Our tip is that you should stay in a five-star hotel. It might cost you a bit more but its worth the money.
12. If you’re well-versed or even slightly familiar with English then you won’t have much trouble but still, do learn a few words of Thai. Not just because you’re traveling to Thailand. But also because it’s good to keep a little learning from every place you visit.
