Temple Etiquette: Dress modestly and remove shoes before entering temples. Respect the serene atmosphere.
Wai Gesture: The humble wai - palms together and a slight bow - it's our way of saying "hello" and showing respect.
Embrace Thai culture, friends! It's a whirlwind of laughter, colors, and unforgettable traditions. As Khun Chai would say, "Live, laugh, and soak in the smiles!"
