Additionally, it is important to dress modestly and to cover up when visiting temples or other religious sites. It is also important to be aware of the local laws and to avoid engaging in activities that are illegal in Thailand, such as drug use. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local people and to avoid making negative comments about their culture or beliefs.
