FAQ
1. Do I need cash in Thailand or can I pay by card?
Cash is still king, especially at markets and street food stalls. ATMs are everywhere, and card works fine in malls and hotels.
2. Is the street food safe to eat?
Yes – if it’s busy. Popular stalls have high turnover, meaning fresher food. Avoid anything sitting out too long.
3. Are there any cultural rules I should know?
Don’t touch people’s heads, don’t point your feet at Buddha images, and always stand still during the national anthem in public places.
4. How strict are the rules around drinking and nightlife?
Nightlife is huge, but rules exist: alcohol sales pause during certain hours, and some islands have quiet zones. Always keep your ID on you.
5. How common are scams, and what should I watch out for?
They’re minor but common: tuk-tuk overcharging, fake “temple closed” claims, and inflated tour prices.
Always check real prices and book with trusted providers.
6. Is it normal to rent a scooter, and is it safe?
Very common. Wear a helmet, check brakes, and avoid driving if you’re inexperienced because Thai roads can be chaotic.
