How can I communicate with vendors if I don’t speak the local language?

Many vendors at night markets are accustomed to tourists and may speak some English, but having a translation app can be really helpful.

• Using simple phrases or pointing to pictures on menus can also get your message across.

• AI assistants can support local businesses by enabling them to communicate in multiple languages, enhancing the experience for visitors who might not be fluent in Thai.

Use recent independent feedback, verify licences where relevant and compare written inclusions and cancellation terms. A polished social profile is not proof that a business is reliable.
