. If you go, are there any precautions? What are the requirements for wearing clothes?
Don't wear bright clothes, try to wear black or white clothes as much as possible to show condolences. Don't make loud noises, don't laugh and play too happily. Be low-key to avoid unnecessary hassle.
. Now we can basically confirm what time it takes to you:
Thailand is very safe at present and no incidents have occurred.
Travel was not affected, only the Grand Palace in Bangkok is closed. Stores, transportation, and restaurants are all very normal.
The people were in good mood, talking and laughing, and accepted the fact that the king died. Don’t worry too much about clothing. If you really don’t have black clothes, wearing other colors of clothes will not attract too much attention.

Best travel time
November-April is the best travel time in Thailand. The seasons in Thailand are divided into three seasons: hot season (March-May), rainy season (June-October), and cool season (November-February). The average temperature throughout the year is around 25℃.

In addition, many islands in the south will be open to tourists during this period, allowing them to experience the island style in all aspects, as well as the Ten Thousand Peoples Sky Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai. The only disadvantage is that prices will rise and hotels are tight.
htmlApril-May: The temperature is as high as 40° during the hottest time in Thailand. But there is the Songkran Festival from April 13 to 15.6-October: It is rainy season, with heavy rainfall, but it is usually concentrated in the evening, so it basically does not affect the daytime itinerary. The best thing is that you can enjoy the great discounted hotel prices.
Domestic Holidays :
Domestic public holidays such as National Day and Spring Festival are the peak period for tourists to travel to Thailand. It is difficult to book a hotel and the air ticket price is also high. If you plan to travel on public holidays, you must book a hotel about 3 months in advance.

Mango glutinous rice is to cut the whole mango into a plate, and put the glutinous rice drizzled with coconut milk on the other side. The mango is sweet and sour, and the sour taste will be melted by the sweetness of the glutinous rice, which is perfect for the combination.
Salt and Pepper fruit

You can see small trolleys selling fruits all over the streets in Thailand. But the most amazing thing is that local Thais need to mix with salt, chili noodles and sugar when eating fruit.
Coconut ice cream
Figure: Coconut ice cream. by Fable
Coconut ice cream has a strong flavor and melts in your mouth. Especially with fried crispy peanuts or boiled sweet corn, it not only enhances the taste of the coconut ice cream, but also reduces its sweetness. Coconut ice cream is usually made of natural coconut shells (some sellers will use small plastic cups) and it will be filled with fresh and smooth coconut meat at the bottom, which is super delicious.
