Do's and Don'ts while you were in Thailand// Do's list Part 3

Here's come the last 4 on Do's list.  I've saved them for the last as they are considered as the easiest do's but will definatly complete your retire in Thailand.

8. Do take your shoe off.  Take your shoes off before entering a temple where Buddha images are kept, this also apply when you enter someone’s house.  It’s more polite to leave your shoes outside.

9. Do learn how to use spoon.  Thais eat rice as their main source of carbohydrate, so in every meals you can expect rice to come along with another dishes.  Thais food is eaten with spoon and fork (always use spoon with your right hand).  It is the spoon that is placed into the mouth; the fork is used to push food on to the spoon.  Most Thai food is already cut into small pieces before serving or is made soft enough to cut with a spoon or fork and a knife isn’t required.

10. Do ask if need help.  If you need help, seek out teenagers wearing nice school uniforms.  They tend to speak the most English, and are happy to help you.  Even a group of six or eight in the subway, is fine to approach in Bangkok.  Politeness toward adults is still required here.  There is a number for tourist emergencies, 1155, which is like our 911, but it's intended for serious emergencies only (not for directions).

11. Do explore more.  Try to step at least one foot outside the tourist areas.  Do not go back home having only seen the tourist sites.  Most of what Thailand is, lies beyond the packaged sites.  Visit a suburb and see the beautiful temples that are not for tourists.  See the serene life of a local community, and get some real pictures to take back home.

Well, that's all the Do's that I have for you.  If you have the different one, please share them.  I hope these informations would help you blend in with Thai people, and live happily.  Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the list of Don'ts, something you shouldn't miss.  Enjoy your stay, see you tomorrow.
