ETIQUETTE
Be prepared
to take off your shoes before entering someone’s home, temples, and even some
shops.
Smile
as often as possible.
The WAI: Some websites advise against it because where you put your hands is important, but whenever Squid tried it the reactions were positive. If you’re not comfortable, just bowing your head seemed to be polite enough.

Shops
will sometimes round up the price of items. So something advertised as 7 Baht
might cost you 10. For more.
Tips are welcome but not necessary, except in the upper echelon of services. Masseuses and masseurs should be tipped. For more.
