Mindful meoweler tips
Be mindful of your clothing
When visiting temples or other religious sites, make sure your clothing covers your shoulders and knees. This shows respect for the Thai culture.
Bargain for prices at markets
When shopping at markets, it's expected to bargain for prices. Start at half the quoted price and negotiate from there.
Be aware of the nightlife
Phatthaya has a notorious reputation for its nightlife. Be aware of potential scams and dangers, and drink responsibly.
