What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand for the first time?

The visa procedure in Thailand is simple and convenient, the ticket price of AirAsia is cheap, and the local consumption price in Thailand is lower than that in China, so Thailand has become the best choice for Chinese people. So what should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand for the first time?

First, money. It is convenient to change Thai currency before going out. Although there are actually many exchange offices in Thailand, it is better to bring money with you. Because it will be more troublesome to find the exchange office when you find that you have no money.

Second, bring rain gear and sun protection products. Thailand has a tropical climate, so the sun is also very poisonous. Remember to apply sunscreen and wear a hat to protect your skin, otherwise your skin will get sunburned easily. In addition, it often rains in Thailand, which is urgent and heavy, so when you go out, no matter how good the weather is, you should take rain gear to prevent it from being unprepared.

Third, we should respect local beliefs. Thailand is a Buddhist country. Most Thais believe in the four-faced Buddha, and Buddhists account for more than 90% of the national population. Therefore, you should respect Buddhism when you go to the local area. Take off your shoes when you enter a Buddhist temple. If you wear shorts or skirts, put on a shawl to cover the meat. Oh, this is a respect for the Thai people. And the night market in Thailand will also play the national anthem of Thailand. Everyone must stand up at once and take off their hats to show their respect. Strictly speaking, the Thai police should immediately arrest anyone who doesn't respect the national anthem or members of the royal family, no matter which country you come from. So when you visit the night market, when you hear the national anthem of Thailand, just stand there and listen, and then go.

Fourth, mosquitoes in Thailand are very fierce. It is best to buy a bottle of local green grass cream and wear long-sleeved trousers to prevent being bitten by various insects. Before I went to Thailand, a friend around me was bitten by a mosquito and his feet were covered with bags. Later, it was fine to apply herbal ointment.
