Thailand is known for its welcoming culture and cuisine. The traditional Thai greeting of "wai" is accompanied by "sawadee" and involves pressing the palms together higher for more respect. Head, hands and feet should never be touched or pointed at others. The Songkran festival from April 13th-15th symbolically washes away misfortune with water. Thailand has a rich culture and history as seen in the long-form name for its capital Bangkok meaning "the city of angels." Driving is done on the left side of the road in Thailand.
