When is Thai national holiday and attraction
festival |
|
 |
The Thai Calendar Thailand has adopted the
western calendar to divide the year into
days, weeks and months, using Thai names for
these units. Years are numbered according to
the Buddhist era (BE) which commenced 543
years before the Christian era. Therefore
2003 AD is BE 2546 and 2004 is BE 2547.
Thailand's national public holidays are
linked to religious or agricultural
traditions and follow the lunar calendar,
therefore the dates for some of the holidays
change each year. For the precise dates of
the lunar holidays and festival locations,
New Year's Day : Jan 1
Makha Bucha Day : late January to early
March
Chakri Day : April 6
Songkran Day : April 13
National Labour Day : May 1
Coronation Day : May 5
Visakha Bucha Day : May
Asanha Bucha Day : July
Khao Phansa (Buddhist Lent) : July
HM the Queen's Birthday : August 12
Chulalongkorn Day : October 23
HM the King's Birthday : December 5
Constitution Day : December 10
New Year's Eve : December 31 |

What I should wear in Thaliland |
|
 |
What to Wear
Light, loose fitting cotton garments are
still the best, including cotton socks which
some still prefer to going sockless. Shoes,
except for visits to upmarket restaurants
and hotels should be casual and comfortable.
For more adventurous excursions such as
trekking and hill climbing specialised
clothing and footwear, are of course a
necessity. |
|
|
|
 |
What I should do and don’t do in Thailand |
|
 |
The Monarchy
: Thai people have a deep, traditional
reverence for the Royal Family, and a
visitor should be careful to show respect
for the King, the Queen and the Royal
Children.
Religion : Visitors should dress
neatly in all religious shrines. They should
never go topless, or in shorts, hot pants or
other unsuitable attire. It is acceptable to
wear shoes when walking around the compound
of a Buddhist temple, but not inside the
chapel where the principal Buddha image is
kept.
Each Buddha image, large or small, ruined or
not, is regarded as a sacred object. Never
climb onto one to take a photograph or do
anything which might indicate a lack of
respect. Buddhist monks are forbidden to
touch or be touched by a woman, or to accept
anything from the hand of one. If a woman
has to give anything to a monk, she first
hands it to a man, who then presents it.
Social Norms :
Thais don't normally shake hands when they
greet one another, but instead press the
palms together in a prayer-like gesture
called a wai. Generally a younger person
wais an elder, who returns it. Thais regard
the head as the highest part of the body,
literally and figuratively. Therefore, avoid
touching people on the head and try not to
point your feet at people or an object. It
is considered very rude. Shoes should be
removed when entering a private Thai home.
Public displays of affection between men and
women are frowned upon. |

 |
Should I give tipping when I got service |
|
 |
Tipping:
Tipping is not a usual practice in Thailand
although it is becoming more common. Most
hotels and restaurants add a 10% service
charge to the bill. Taxi drivers do not
require a tip, but the gesture is
appreciated. |
|
|
|
 |
Bargaining |
|
 |
Fixed prices are the norm in department
stores, but at most other places bargaining
is to be expected. Generally, you can obtain
a final figure of between 10-40% lower than
the original asking price. Much depends on
your skills and the shopkeeper's mood. But
remember, Thais appreciate good manners and
a sense of humor. With patience and a broad
smile, you will not only get a better price,
you will also enjoy shopping as an art.

What kind of Thai Food And What I should to
taste if I visit Thailand |
|
 |
Thai food is internationally famous. Whether
chili-hot or comparatively bland, harmony is
the guiding principle behind each dish. Thai
cuisine is essentially a marriage of
centuries-old Eastern and Western influences
harmoniously combined into something
uniquely Thai. The characteristics of Thai
food depend on who cooks it, for which it is
cooked, for what occasion, and where it is
cooked to suit all palates. Originally, Thai
cooking reflected the characteristics of a
waterborne lifestyle. Aquatic animals,
plants and herbs were major ingredients.
Large chunks of meat were eschewed.
Subsequent influences introduced the use of
sizeable chunks to Thai cooking.
The most famous food in Thailand and
well-known all around the world is “Tom Yam
Goong” (Spicy soup with prawn). “Tom Yam
Goong” is serve you a spicy, sour, sweet and
salty in one dished. Also fresh herb taste
that have medical properties to prevent you
from illness.
Besides “ Tom Yam Goong”, “Som Tam & Gai
Yarng”(Papaya Salad in typical Thai style &
Grilled Chicken) a regional food from
North-east of Thailand. In present, you can
taste everywhere in Thailand. And other dish
is “Phad Tai” (Fried noodle) |

How about transportation in Thailand |
|
 |
Three-wheeled open-air, Tuk-tuk offer an
'interesting' ride for shorter trips during
off- peak hours. Settle the fare before
proceeding. It should cost less than the
price of a comparable journey by taxi meter.
Minimum fares, for journeys of up to 3
kilometers, are approximately 30 baht.
Taxis meter: Metered taxis are
available in Bangkok. Passengers must pay
tolls in the case of using an expressway. If
taxis do not have meters, fares must be
agreed upon before starting. The amount will
vary depending on the distance, traffic,
weather (if it is raining the fare will
rise) and the negotiating skills of the
hirer. Average fares in Bangkok are between
50-200 baht.
