The Thai monarchy is deeply revered and protected by lese-majeste laws — never make disrespectful comments about the royal family. Remove shoes before entering temples and homes. Dress modestly at temples (cover shoulders and knees). The 'wai' greeting (palms together with a slight bow) is the standard polite greeting.

Bangkok is generally safe, but watch for common tourist scams: tuk-tuk drivers offering 'special deals' to gem shops, taxi drivers refusing to use meters, and jet ski rental scams in beach areas. Always insist on the meter in taxis or use Grab instead.
