Respect modest dress code in temples and public areas. Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory; a few coins or rounding up is common practice. Always greet with a polite 'wai' (palms together bow).
Safety Warnings
Exercise caution around busy roads, especially at night, as pedestrian infrastructure is limited. Watch for occasional petty theft in crowded markets. Avoid poorly-lit alleys and unfamiliar remote areas after dark.
