Like a true tourist
Be a tourist, act like a tourist. We went to see Bangkok's big Grand Palace, which was actually nothing compared to the Wat next to it. They know how to build their temples here (there is gold and gems everywhere and it is there for everyone to see and touch), and though the Thais love their king the worship of the emerald Buddha statue in the temple was something else.
And a true thai tourist can not pass a thai massage or a thai boxing match either, so that had to be done. The massage was great and contrary to some guys' beliefs it was done with full clothing and there was nothing sexual about it.. The boxing match was not as eventful as one might think, but it was above all a show -not as much as a free wrestling match but in a different way with ritual dances in the beginning and a rythmic music in the background during the fight. What made the fight less eventful was that as fighters tried to score points there was no flying kicks or stuff like that but mere close contact with knees mostly.
