Thailand is a country in south east asia and because of this, many people are unusure of the correct etiquette in Thailand that they should be using. You must make sure that you are always polite and wear lots of clothes so as to not offend the locals. The King is a pretty awesome man and you should not stamp on the money or they will put you in prison. Yes, really. And you REALLY don’t want that. Thailand is a fascinating country and it was a fantastic experience for me. Be polite and respectful and you’ll come to no harm.

My father and brother love to build model boats so they are always looking for new boat design plans. My father and brother can spend hours upon hours looking at and talking about boats. My mom and I do not really complain about it because it gives us time to do the mother daughter things we like to do like going to lunch and go shopping for new outfits to wear. We never complain about what my father and brother does but dad always complains about what mommy and I do.
