Country information
Climate
Thailand is located between vast areas of land and water, so it is impacted by both the summer and the winter monsoons. As a result, Thailand weather consists of six months of rainfalls during the wet season, three months of dry and cooling breezes during the winter, and three months of heat during the summer. The average temperature of Thailand ranges from 18 to 38°C.
Language
Many Thais speak and understand English, though more so in Bangkok and the major tourist areas. The Thai language itself is challenging to master, but Thai people are happy to help foreigners learn a few words to help them get around. However, English is typically the common currency for cross-cultural conversation as Thailand hosts visitors from around the world.
Thai Cell Phones
The Thailand cell phone coverage is widespread, with reception available in all areas except at the most remote islands and isolated mountainous regions. Many overseas cell phones will work in Thailand, provided they are GSM compatible, as Thailand features both GSM 900 and 1800 networks
Tipping
Tip porters and hotel staff when given good personal service - the amount varies with the kind of hotel. In restaurants around a 10 % - 15% tip is usually the norm, no need to tip in small roadside eating places. Taxi fares should be rounded up to the nearest 5 or 10 Baht, especially meter-taxis who don not earn a lot and are very knowledgeable and incredibly patient in the Bangkok traffic.
Health
Mosquito bites are annoying enough in themselves, so apply mosquito repellent after sunset. Gastro enteric problems are among the most common ailments visitors to Thailand complain about. Be Careful where and what you eat.
Thai Cultural Etiquette
Anger is regarded as crude and lacking in self-discipline. Remain calm and smile and you will find all sorts of doors opened. Extreme public displays of affection are often frowned upon.
