Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen while at the beach.
- 03
Be cautious of traffic, especially at night.

Ask before photographing monks, worshippers, or village homes — a quiet nod beats a surprise flash.

Carry litter off beaches and heritage walks in Pattaya until you find a bin — leave no plastic behind.
