A Bow with two hands together which you will put your hands infront of your chin! And say" Sawasdee!" Its a sign of respect in Thailand and people here always used that in their everyday lives! Most of the people are very smiling, friendly, specially when you have babies with you. They're very close to babies and I think they love babies! Most of the people can communicate with the medium of instruction which is English but if they can't say it properly, they can only understand you. In Thailand, everybodies heads are sacred so be aware not to touch their heads! Be respectful in terms of their King as they have a strong respect in it. Try to avoid those tuk-tuks, taxi driver's in the night time as many of them will charge you hardly. If possible, ride with their BTS Sky Train. Enjoy Thailand!

Songkran Festival (April 7-15, 2003 at Sanam Luang and citywide, Bangkok) This traditional Thai New Year may be celebrated all over the city, but the main spectacles center around the old area of Bangkok near the Grand Palace, Rachadamneon Avenue and Khaosan Road. At Sanam Luang, the revered Phra Buddha Sihing image will be displayed and bathed by thousands of Buddhists, while, not so far away from Sanam Luang, in the town’s main backpacker haven, Khaosan Road, several thousands of locals and tourists have a blast in the city’s biggest water battle. During this festival, Rachadamneon Avenue’s charm will be enhanced by beautiful fountains along the avenue. A Little Advice 1. If you get involved in the water splashing, remember that older people are exempt. It's not a great idea to splash policemen either. 2. If you decide to get into the splashing, approach people with respect. Don't get too carried away, or you may accidentally give offence. 3. Take it all in your stride. Maybe you didn't realise that you were going to be in Thailand at this time, and hadn't planned on getting soaked. Well. no amount of getting annoyed is going to change that -- it's their country and their most important festival and the Thai people are going to enjoy it. Put on your worst clothes (or buy some cheap ones) and get into it. You're on holiday -- forget everything, look, learn new things, and just have FUN. You might just find yourself feeling cleansed. courtesy of: http://www.thailandgrandfestival .com/festival.asp?festID=7

Thai people are always keeping their faith even though there are lot's of expats living in their country and tourists. I can see in their eyes that they haven't change for centuries even for some reasons, teenagers are tend to part ways. They adapt western cultures but keeping the traditional behavior!
