Thailand
Thailand is known as the proverbial Land of Smiles but there are some interesting and unusual things that you may not know about Thailand. Here are 5 of the lesser known facts that will help introduce you to life in this country.
5 Facts You Might Not Know
1
All drivers in Thailand need to be clothed appropriately whenever they are driving a car. No one is allowed to drive with a bare, or scantily clad, upper body. One statute even states that no person in Thailand may leave their home unless they have some type of underwear on their body.
2
Another little known fact about Thailand is the fact that laws regarding public conduct are taken very seriously. In fact you can face heavy fines or imprisonment if you spit or toss chewed gum onto a public sidewalk. The national currency of Thailand is not subject to defacement and penalties are imposed if a person walks on the currency.
3
There is one day each year that Thailand devotes to fun and water. Residents all enjoy the water battles that take place on Songkran Day because almost everyone takes part in the festivities. This is the one time of year when it is perfectly fine to soak others with cold water. Even policemen and government officials will have water tossed at them by Songran Day participants.
4
Many visitors marvel at the many uses Thailand has discovered for small plastic bags. These are even used as containers for carry-out meals and beverages.
5
If you visit a restaurant or cafe in Thailand do not be surprised if you see a roll of toilet paper on the table. While relegated mainly to bathrooms in many parts of the world in Thai culture a modest tube of toilet tissue serves as an economical and handy way to clean your hands while dining.
