It is definitely a culture shock compared to South Africa. We took the train to our hotel (first time not staying in a hostel). The street food is great! It's so inexpensive to eat out. I think we paid 40 baht which is about $1.30 for an entire meal. The traffic is ridiculous. Always slow moving but taxis are so cheap we take them just so we can catch the ac to cool down. We took a ferry up the canal to visit the Grand Palace. It was pretty cool. A lot of intricate designs.
When we go out to eat the servers only bring you the bill when you ask for it. The culture here isn't pushy to get you out and they don't expect ant kind if tip, but when you do they are very grateful, big or small.
