Many novice travelers are wary of their holiday in Thailand due to rumors about the place. Consider in our article 7 of the most common of them.
Tai is a hotbed of infection, unsanitary conditions and parasites
Of course, if you compare the rest there or in Europe, there is a lot of confirmation of this opinion. But in the memory of vacationers there are only pleasant memories of the atmosphere prevailing there and the smell of spicy food.
Thai smile is fake
This is the opinion of those who have never traveled outside the resort. In fact, they live with a smile. It has been proven that Thais smile much more than other peoples. This gesture can mean a greeting, an apology in your direction, and even contempt. It is because of this variety of meanings of a smile that it is recognized to call Thailand "the land of smiles."
Eating street food in Tae is life-threatening
Even wealthy Thais love street food. The main criterion for choosing a place to eat is the taste of the dish. If a large line of Thais lined up at the chef, they cook right there!
Thai food is too spicy
On the territory of Thailand, there is a huge selection of dishes that are not spicy. It's just that they are less often offered to tourists. In any cafe, you can ask to put less spices in noodles or seafood. The phrase "Phet Nit Noi" will help with this.
Thailand is dangerous to vacation due to constant tsunamis and floods
After the tragedy of 2004, the Thai authorities took care of the safety of residents. The notification and warning system has been improved. In terms of flooding, the Chao Phraya River overflows every year. But this does not lead to disasters, because this spill is not large and does not heat up the resort areas.

There is a constant rainy season and you can only go there in our winter.
This myth is artificially created by travel agencies. In the summer it is more profitable to sell vouchers to Greece, Spain and Turkey, and leave the winter for Thailand. Tai is a large country that is located in different climatic zones. It is rich in several resorts, and each of them has its own weather at different times of the year. Depending on the season, it is easy to find your “place in the sun”.
Thai massage with a twist
Many have equated Thai massage with erotic massage, which is not true. First of all, they take care of human energy. Therefore, the impact is aimed at the spiritual component. Intimate services are provided only in establishments located in the most active tourist areas (Pattaya and Phuket).
Do not deny yourself the pleasure of relaxing in Thailand because of the rumors!
