Travel Tips

• Thailand is a modest culture, be mindful as you pack for your trip. While there aren’t laws, you are sure to experience better service and be more respectful dressing more modestly (think Utah on a hot day, PG-13).
• Keep in mind what is beach attire is not welcome at most temples. Additionally, Thailand is hot and humid, so pick fabrics carefully. Lightweight linen is a good plan.
• Humidity brings insects, consider a mosquito bracelet and anti-mosquito loofah soap.
• Don’t underestimate Thailand sun. Pack plenty of sunscreen and perhaps a Panama hat to protect yourself.
• There is a high accident rate (scooters, motorbikes, cars, etc) be prepared and come with quality travel insurance.
• Don’t miss the magical sunrise.
• Don’t underestimate the pull of the ocean. Most long-tail boats have motors to help you out.
