Thailand Travel Tips

When we deal with people in the safest way is to name Khun, Mr. or Mrs. Miss So you would say, as preface to Khun Chuan Chuan Vongsiri address. The Thai people can be called by name before in English-Mr. Bill is not for your family name-Mr. Smith. When asked the name of a person's normal expression Chur Arai, Khun Krab (or ka)? If a person is a royal title (and if you are an official visit, you can also take such a person), you should know in advance howAddress him or her, and in some cases, you are presented with a map containing all the relevant information. However, it is perfectly all right, a person, the Prime Minister, as Khun address.

The Thais use a kind word at the end almost every sentence. If you are a man and a woman is crab, ka. For example, to say "hello" or "good morning" in Thai (which Sawat dee) is a man and a woman crab Sawat Dee Dee Sawat say ka. If a child says, would you say noo dee Sawat.Women often replace the word about when dealing with friends.

The six-hour clock in Thailand

The way the Thais refer to the time can be confusing for a foreigner.
They share the day in seven:

01:00 bis 06:00 Watch (tea Ning, song tea, sam, tea and watch, t, tea HOK);
7.00 ea 11.00 clock (Chau Chau rnong rnong Song, Sam rnong Chau, Chau Chau see rnong has rnong) (klangwan tian) at noon;
13.00 a 03:00 clock (rnong bai, bai rnong song bai rnong Sarn);
To clock 16.0018.00 Clock (Song rnong rnong Yen Yen, Sam rnong yen);
19.00 bis 11.00 clock (again, see you again song Again Sam, in turn, has); midnight (tian core). Protocol (Nate) are set according to time, a decade midnight nuclear Natee tien sip. The middle is a nuclear Krung tian (half).

So if you set a time for a meeting, make sure you know exactly what time is referenced. We recommend testing the system in 24 hours by train Thai used, for example, sip
SI nalika, or 1400Hours, call to watch 02:00
