Harry: What are you doing during this weekend? You: I have to go to Hoa Binh this weekend to visit a local market and see a Thai ethnic family. Harry: Great! Can I go with you? I like going to the mountainous city. You: Of course, you can. But you have to remember that we will be visiting a traditional Thai family, so you have to respect their customs and traditions. Harry: What are the things I need to know when visiting a Thai family? You: You have to take off your shoes before entering their house. Also, you have to avoid touching their heads as it's considered disrespectful in their culture. And remember, you have to be polite and friendly all the time. Harry: How about the food? You: You have to try their traditional dishes. They are really delicious. But if you have any food allergies, you have to let them know in advance. Harry: Good idea. So, the specialties of the local people were sold right there at the market. What should I prepare for the trip? You: You have to bring some warm clothes as it can get quite cold in the mountains. Also, you have to prepare some cash as not all places accept credit cards. And don't forget, you have to bring your camera to capture the beautiful scenery.
