If I have foreigners friends, I will tell them about things they should know before traveling to Thailand.
1.Eat off your spoon, not your fork. Eating directly off a fork is considered crude; instead, use your fork to push food onto your spoon.
2. Yes, the people really are *that* nice. Don’t be surprised if strangers offer you advice or strike up a conversation with you.
3. People don’t stand in lines. This took me a few days (and many long waits for the ladies room) to figure out. Instead of queuing up, Thais form a crowd. Stand your ground, and get used to a lack of personal space in public places.
5. Don’t talk about the king. Seriously, not a word.
