Most of the national networked buses in operation are advanced in design, comfortable and reliable, and the fares are also suitable. Therefore, it is a good choice to travel around Thailand or get in touch with work by bus for a long time. There are two kinds of buses: ordinary cars and air-conditioned cars. Air-conditioned cars are about twice as expensive as ordinary cars. Thailand has a tropical climate, so it is best to take an air-conditioned car for long-distance travel. Short-distance route, you can also take ordinary bus. Bangkok coach terminal is divided into three terminals, namely the east, south and north lines (including the northeast line).

Thai customs and habits

Way of getting along

Thailand is famous for its tolerance and hospitality. They show a smile and humility to everyone. Ordinary travelers can easily adapt to local customs. But here are some special tips:

Monarchy

Traditionally, Thais have deep respect for members of the royal family. Tourists should respect Tai Huang, Empress Dowager Cixi and their children. For example, every morning at 08:00 and evening at 18: 00, when the national anthem is played in public places, you should stand. If you attend a public place with members of the royal family, the best way is to observe and imitate the etiquette of the people present.

Religious microcosmic

Thailand's laws have many chapters on religious violations, including Buddhism and other faiths with the largest number of followers. All Buddha statues, big or small, intact or broken, are sacred. Please don't climb the Buddha The general requirement is not to "disrespect" the Buddha statue. Dress neatly when visiting Buddhist temples-don't be topless or wear shorts or sleeveless shirts. You shouldn't wear shoes to enter the temple hall where the Buddha statue is enshrined. Please take off your shoes at will. The floors of temple halls are generally clean. Buddhist monks are forbidden to contact with ladies. If you want to give something to a monk, you should first give it to a man to do it for him. A long-sleeved coat is buttoned to the neck and covered with a towel.

Social usage

Thai people will put their hands together when greeting, which looks like praying. Thais call it "wai". Generally speaking, some people will say hello to the elderly first, and then the elderly will return the gift together.

Thais believe that the head is the highest part of the body, and it is not allowed to pat anyone on the head, even as a friendly gesture. If you accidentally touch someone's head, you should apologize to him quickly.

Similarly, the foot is considered to be the lowest part of the body. Don't point your foot at people or objects. Don't touch anyone with your feet. Don't put your hands on the table or chair. Don't cross people's bodies, please walk around or politely ask them to move. When sitting on the floor, you should also keep your feet away from anyone.

It is unacceptable to show love in public. You may have seen some very westernized young couples holding hands, but this is only common in enlightened communities. In Thai society, losing your temper is the worst policy. Thais think this represents despicable behavior.
