Thai people are known for their warmth and friendliness, and hospitality is important to them - you may hear the word “sanuk” (fun) quite often. Thailand attracts many foreigners, but whether you're there to stay or just passing through, generally speaking it’s not difficult to meet new people. Depending on where you are in Thailand, it may be necessary to learn the local Thai language, especially if you're living in the more remote rural areas. Otherwise, English is widely spoken in the larger cities and tourist spots.
