City Guide
Pra Wet, Bangkok, Thailand

Local Tips
Use tuk-tuks or motorbike taxis for short distances; local markets offer fresh, cheap food. Download a ride-hailing app for convenience.
Cultural Etiquette
Dress modestly, especially in temples or government buildings. Tipping is appreciated but not required; a small amount (10%) is enough. It's polite to greet with a 'wai' gesture.
Safety Warnings
Beware of pickpockets in crowded areas and when using public transportation. At night, stick to well-lit streets and avoid poorly-lit alleys. Watch for inflated taxi fares, always use the meter or agree on a price.
Hidden Gems
Try the local night markets for authentic Thai snacks and crafts. The Mengjai area offers indie coffee houses and a quiet canal walk, while lesser-known temples tucked between residences offer peaceful escapes.
