Following on from the post on behaviour on the beach I would like to add one about temples. These are places of worship so a bit of respect really is required from people visiting them. I was up at Wat Khao Takiab yesterday, it was busy as many people were making merit for Macha Bucha day. On seeing shirtless farangs wandering around the complex it was painfully obvious that this behaviour is unacceptable, however the benevolent Thais will not say anything about it. It took another farang to politely indicate that walking around a temple with no shirt on really is a bad idea. The culture guide on the website and similar ones in guide books should be read and adhered to for visiting Thailand.
