Cultural Tours in Bangkok

1. You’re sure to see many monks during your time in Thailand, both inside the temples and outside on the streets, on buses, at festivals, and in a variety of everyday settings. Monks are highly revered and respected in Thai culture and disrespecting a monk is a huge no-no.

2. Thai people place importance and significance to different parts of the body. The head is seen as the most spiritual part of the body and you should never touch a person's head. 

3. The best way to get around is by taxi or tuk-tuk in Bangkok. Simply stand at the side of the road and hail a cab if it has it's light on, or a tuk-tuk if it is empty. Top tip: waving with your palm out and fingers facing up is considered rude in Thailand, instead face your palm inwards and fingers facing down. 

4. You will need to cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples in Bangkok, so be sure to carry a lightweight sarong to take of this! If not, don't worry we always have spares. 

5. Make sure you incorporate lots of breaks when temple hopping in Bangkok, it can get VERY hot and if you're not used to it, it can be a strain on your body!
