10 Tips of what Not to do in a bar

1. Don’t talk about the Royal Family or Thai politics. It’s best to avoid sensitive issues in a public place.
2. Don’t touch people’s heads. In Thai culture, the head is the most sacred part of the body.
3. Don’t lose your temper. "Losing face" is a serious cultural concept here; stay calm and polite.
4. Don’t be rude to staff. A smile goes a long way in Thailand.
5. Don't leave drinks unattended. Always be aware of your surroundings in a busy nightlife area.
6. Don't get overly intoxicated. It leads to bad judgment and makes you a target for trouble.
7. Don't boast about money. Being flashy attracts the wrong kind of attention.
8. Don't ignore the "Bar Fine" etiquette. If you intend to take someone back, be respectful of the venue's rules.
9. Don't photograph people without permission. Always ask before snapping shots of the staff or other patrons.
10. Don't forget to relax and have fun. You're in Pattaya—enjoy the atmosphere respectfully!
