Want to go to Bangkok, Thailand?

Well, you will have to know couple places to go in Bangkok, know before you go.

Tuk Tuk, is anyone there?

First and foremost, you will want to learn what a “tuk-tuk” is, it’s a 3-wheeled taxi, not the safest, but it might get you around town faster.  Just remember to negotiate the price before you get in a tuk-tuk.

Well, as always, if you are traveling out of the country, USE COMMON SENSE and be respectful of another’s culture.  And most importantly, have fun!

Sa-Wa-Dee-Kob (Ka for female) – Hello

Kob-Kun-Kon (Ka for female) – Thank You

These two are probably the most important, leave the rest up to your senses!  haha…
