Papaya salad

Papaya salad is one of the dishes you must not miss eating and enjoy it , when you are visiting Thailand. 

This green papaya salad, also known as "som tam", is popular the world over, and when you taste it you'll know why. The slightly tart flavor of the green papaya combines wonderfully with the spice of red chili and the saltiness of fish sauce and the sweetness of honey (note that it can also be made vegetarian/vegan - see recipe). Green papaya salad is a beautifully unique and flavor-filled dish that will make a great impression. It's also easy to make, low-calorie, and very nutritious. 

One of the best places to try and enjoy this salad is at condom and cabbages restaurant that's located in sukhumvit soi 12 in Bangkok. 

I recommend that you order it spicy and enjoy it to the max.

Thai people

Thai people

1. Thai people are tolerant and hospitable. Normally tourists will have no difficulty in
   adjusting to the local customs. However, they may find it useful to be aware of certain dos and don’ts.
2. Thai people deeply revere the Royal Family. A visitor should be careful to show
   respect for the King and the Royal Family. The best guide as to how to behave is
   to watch the crowd and do what it does.
3. When going inside a chapel, shoes must be removed.
4. Never climb onto any image of Buddha or chedis to take a photograph.
5. Buddhist monks are forbidden to touch or be touched by women, or to accept
   anything from the hand of a woman. To give anything to a monk, a woman will
   either hand it to a man who then passes it to the monk, or the monk will spread
   out a piece of handkerchief in front of him for her to lay down her offerings on
   the handkerchief.
6. When entering a Thai home, take off your shoes.

1. “Nam-jai” (which literally means water of the heart) is very important for Thai people. When Thai people say that a person has “nam-jaii,” it means that this person is happy to make sacrifices for friends and extend hospitality to strangers. 
2. Thai people always say “mai pen rai” (never mind or it doesn’t matter) when something unfortunate happens. They think that everybody and everything is acceptable. Conflicts should be avoided. 
3. Thai people also have a feeling of “greng-jai.” They are very reluctant to impose on anyone or disturb other people. 
4. Thai people are also expected to realize “thii tam thii soong”(literally, high place and low place). People can be “high” or “low” according to their age, family background, occupation, and professional position. They should behave and treat other people according to their own and other people’s status. Body parts such as the head and face are considered “thii soong” (high place) and feet “thii tam” (low place).Therefore, Thai people feel offended when someone touches or passes something to another person over their heads. They are also offended when a person points to them or at something with his foot. Head is considered “thii soong” (high place). Therefore, Thai people feel offended when someone touches their heads.
5. Thai people think that everything is acceptable. Conflicts, therefore, should be
   avoided.

   In my experience .

   
   

   Thai people are mostly good hearted , generous , happy always smiling whatever the situation is.

   The show respect and loyalty, all those virtues will be yours as long as you do the same with them.

   My advice to you is so short , eat like them and you will understand them and be one of them.

   
   

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

Floating market damnoen saduak - Bangkok

Floating market damnoen saduak

This large and popular floating market is about 100 km southwest of Bangkok in Ratchaburi province. Photos of this vibrant market featuring many small boats laden with colourful fruits and vegetables and paddled by Thai women wearing bamboo hats.

The Floating Market is routinely crowded with hundreds of vendors and purchasers floating in their small rowing boats selling and buying agricultural products and local food, which are mostly brought from their own nearby orchards. Therefore, it is a very attractive place for tourists to see this old style and traditional way of selling and buying goods.

Around this area, boat trip services are available for sightseeing along smaller canals branching off from the Damnoen Saduak canal. Visitors can observe Thai traditional houses and the way they live as well as tasting exotic fruits, local food and refreshing drinks along the waterway.

There are bus services to Damnoen Saduak from the Southern Bus Terminal on Borommarat Chachonnani Road starting at 6 a.m. You'd better get there as early in the morning as possible to escape a crowd of visitors.

Enjoy sawadee.
