1. Holiday-makers should remember that severe penalties are prevised for the desecration of Buddhist shrines. All Buddha images are considered sacred, so they have to be treated with special reverence and respect.

2. Local people are very sociable and easy to go on contact with foreigners. You can talk about any topic with them; the only taboo is discussing the royal family.

A small cash reward is also appropriate for a taxi driver and a maid at the hotel. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
