Tipping & Etiquette
Recommendation: 5 to 10 percent customary in tourist places. Not traditional, but highly appreciated in restaurants, hotels, and massage shops.
- DO Dress modestly with covered shoulders and knees at temples; remove shoes.
- DO Return the polite 'Wai' greeting with hands pressed together.
- DON'T Never criticize the Royal Family or step on money (Lèse-Majesté law!).
- DON'T Do not touch anyone on the head (considered sacred).
Power Sockets & Tap Water
Plug Type & Electricity: Type A, B & C (230V, 50Hz). Standard Europlugs fit most sockets, flat US adapters useful.
Tap Water: Not safe to drink directly from tap. Use bottled drinking water at all times.
Insider Tip: Never point your feet at people, Buddha statues, or step on money – feet are considered the lowest and unpure body part, while the head is sacred.
