Question

What are some local customs I should be aware of during my visit to Phuket/

Answer 1

Some things to look out for:

After having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh.

Also, it is required that the excised f******n of a man is to be wrapped in a banana leaf and placed on a termite hill to be eaten. The man's father keeps vigil at the spot until all remains are eaten; failure to do otherwise is thought to cause the boy to later become impotent.

If you are planning to have "relations" with a female: premarital intercourse is ok with permission of the girl's parents and the provision that conception won't occur. Should pregnancy result, the offending couple must walk around the village naked for several days and apply a magic potion to the fence surrounding the community to prevent disease from infecting the population.  

Answer 2

Public urination is considered courageous, especially if your pants are still on.

Answer 3

Clothing is optional

the US dollar is worth 500 Phukets

Answer 4

Per local tradition, be sure to go through the airport door sideways, or your male compansions are going to Bangkok.

Answer 5

When approaching a native Phuketian, it is considered good manners to grab their left foot and suck on the big toe.  It is considered the native "handshake".

Also, when a Phuketian invites you to dinner, you must bring a small housewarming gift such as a bottle of mulled wine, or a small  rodent, freshly shaven and shorn and wearing a miniature lima bean necklace.

Answer 7

I believe they have a No Limericks law that is vigorously and aggressively enforced.  Use a limerick, go to jail.  That's the law in Phuket.  There was a young lady from Phuket . . . ooh boy, see what I mean?

Answer 8

report this s***k

Answer 9

turtles go in your pants  and not on them.  

Answer 10

The Phuket All Night Court is one of the better places to be stuck with a speeding ticket. I've never seen any other court open during bar-hop hours.

It seems like there are plenty of unlawful entry violations though.

Answer 11

There are no laws or customs in Phuket....anything goes!  I just came back from there...I'm packing to go back, it's like Wonderland!

Answer 12

It is considered rude to burn someone's house down without first washing your feet in baby oil.

I know, a bit bizarre, but they don't take that one lightly.
