What are the characteristics of Thai customs?
1. Thais are used to putting their hands together and bowing to each other. When their hands are folded, they often greet each other with "Shawadhika" (which means hello in Thai). When others greet you with folded hands, you should also return the gift with folded hands, otherwise it is impolite. After folding, there is no need to shake hands to greet or say goodbye, but monks don't have to return gifts to laity. The handshake ceremony when meeting or saying goodbye is not popular in Thai society.

2. Thais are used to calling their unknown elders uncles, aunts, aunts, grandfathers or grandmothers. Peers are also called brothers or sisters. They have been educated by their families since childhood and should respect their parents and elders at home. The school trains students to respect teachers and be polite to senior students. Educating students to respect their teachers is like respecting their parents.

3. Thai cooking initially reflected the characteristics of aquatic lifestyle, with aquatic animals, plants and herbs as the main ingredients. Avoid using large pieces of meat. Later, this influence led to the use of quite large pieces of meat in the Thai diet. Because of their Buddhist background, Thais avoid using large pieces of animal meat. Large pieces of meat are chopped and mixed with herbs and spices.

Thai people think that the right hand is noble, while the left hand can only be used to take some unclean things. Therefore, you should give something to others with your right hand as a sign of respect. On more formal occasions, you must toast with both hands, and using your left hand will be considered as contempt for others. If a woman wants to give something to a monk, she should entrust it to a man.

In Thailand, all boys who believe in Buddhism, after reaching a certain age, have their hair cut into monks, even the royal family and nobles are no exception. Thailand has a reputation as a Buddhist country with a yellow robe, and temples are recognized as holy places by Thais. Therefore, all people who enter the temple must be dignified and tidy, and are not allowed to wear shorts, miniskirts, topless clothes or other inappropriate clothes.
