Monarchy
Traditionally, Thais have great admiration for members of the royal family. Tourists should respect Tai Huang, Empress Dowager Cixi and their children. For example, you should stand when the national anthem is played in public places at 08:00 am and 18: 00 pm every day. If you attend a public place with members of the royal family, the best way is to observe and imitate the etiquette of the people present.
Religious microcosmic
There are many chapters in Thai law dealing with religious violations, including Buddhism and other faiths with the largest number of followers. All Buddha statues, big or small, intact or broken, are sacred. Please don't climb the Buddha! The general requirement is not to "disrespect" the Buddha statue. Dress neatly when visiting Buddhist temples-don't wear shorts or sleeveless shirts. You shouldn't wear shoes to enter the temple hall where the Buddha statue is enshrined. Please take off your shoes at will. The floor of the temple hall is usually clean. Buddhist monks are forbidden to contact with women. If you want to give something to a monk, you should do it for someone first. A long-sleeved shirt is buttoned to the neck and covered with a towel.
Social usage
When Thais say hello, they put their hands together, which looks like a prayer. Thais call it "wai". Generally speaking, some people will say hello to the older people first, and then the older people will return the gifts together.
Thais believe that the head is the highest part of the body, and they are not allowed to pat anyone on the head, even as a friendly gesture. If you accidentally touch someone's head, you should apologize to him quickly.
Similarly, the foot is considered as the lowest part of the body. Don't point your foot at people or objects. Don't touch anyone with your feet. Don't put your hands on the table or chair.

Question 6: Are there any taboos for Thai people to wear clothes? Women are not allowed to wear short skirts and sleeveless clothes when entering the palace. Men must wear coats and slippers with collars.
Take off your shoes and dress neatly and dignified when entering the temple. You'd better not wear shorts.
Other taboos:
1) If you pass in front of a monk on a sunny day, you must bypass the figure of the monk;
2) Ask permission before taking pictures of monks, and thank them politely after taking pictures;
3) Don't touch the Buddha statue, and don't climb any Buddha statue inside or outside the temple;
4) When meeting girls, men should also be careful not to touch their bodies.
5) It should also be noted that the head is sacred and inviolable.
6) Children's heads are only allowed to be touched by kings, nobles or parents. Thais eat with their right hands, and they also use their right hands to show respect when handing things to others. Don't point your finger at people. Take off your shoes and don't step on the threshold before entering the house in Thailand.
Question 7: What are the taboos about meeting etiquette, religious belief, behavior and color in Thailand? I know that it is forbidden to use purple in Malaysia, and it is forbidden to put your hands together when meeting monks in Thailand. Don't touch the monk's head, be modest and polite when meeting people, and don't step on the threshold when going to the temple.
Question 8: What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand?
No finger monks, no contact with monks.
In particular, women are not allowed to shake hands with monks, nor are they allowed to sit next to monks in cars. Even if monks take the initiative to say hello (which often happens to foreign women), they should keep their distance politely. Remember: do as the Romans do. If a woman wants to give something to a monk, she should ask a man to give it to her. If she wants to give it herself, the monk will open a yellow robe or towel to accept what the woman has given her, and it is not allowed to touch the woman in the process.
Every Buddha statue, regardless of its size or damage, is sacred. It is absolutely forbidden to climb the Buddha statue to take pictures or do anything that undermines respect for the Buddha statue. When you meet a monk who is begging, never send cash, because it is against the monk's precepts.
Some laws in Thailand are about the protection of religion. These laws refer not only to Buddhism, but also to other faiths in China. People who don't know religious taboos will cause others' disgust even if they don't intentionally insult religion. In the temple, men should wear hats, women should wear trousers or long skirts, and their hair should be wrapped in scarves. Please take off your shoes when entering the * * * Hall.
Salute to the royal family:
Thais respect their king, queen and royal family very much, so it is absolutely cautious to criticize the royal family in front of others. Thai law punishes disrespect for the royal family. Therefore, tourists should pay attention to showing proper manners. For example, when members of the royal family are present in public, it is best to pay attention to the actions of others and follow suit.
Dress up:
Thai temples are recognized as holy places by Thai people. When entering Buddhist temples, please dress appropriately and dignified, and do not wear short skirts, shorts or go topless. Visitors need to take off their shoes when entering Buddhist temples, temples or private houses, and be careful not to step on the threshold.
Thai women:
Generally speaking, Thai women are conservative. Please don't touch them without their consent.
Salutation:
Thai people usually add the word "Khun" before their names, which can be used by both men and women, meaning Mr., Mrs. and Miss. In Thai companies, employees often equate Pee with Nong, giving people a feeling of pro-arc.
The head is sacred:
Don't touch other people's heads, don't mess up other people's hair. In Thailand, the human head is considered to be an important part of the elves. If you accidentally touch someone's head, you should apologize sincerely at once. Thais forbid outsiders to touch the heads of children (especially young monks). Only kings, monks and their parents are allowed to touch children's heads. Even a hairdresser can't touch other people's heads. You must say you're sorry before a haircut.
Thais can't sleep with their heads facing west, because sunset symbolizes death in the west. People can only park their bodies with their heads facing west when they are dead. When Thai people build houses, they are used to sitting north facing south or sitting north facing south instead of sitting north facing west. Besides, growing a beard is also considered impolite.
Unclean left hand:
Thai people think that a person's right hand is clean and his left hand is unclean, and his left hand can only be used to take some unclean things. Therefore, holding important things with your left hand will attract disgust. Left-handed people can be careless in daily life, but absolutely not in formal occasions. On more formal occasions, you must toast with both hands, and using your left hand will be considered as contempt for others.
The soles of the feet are not clean:
Like the left hand, the sole of the foot is considered unclean. Avoid putting your feet on the table when sitting. Hitting or pointing at people with your toes will be severely reprimanded, and you must never rush to the Buddha statue. Thai people think that feet are very humble and can only be used for walking, and they can't do other things, such as kicking the door with their feet and pointing at things with their toes. When sitting, don't tilt your feet and point your feet at others. Women are more strict when sitting down, and their legs must be close together, otherwise they will be considered uncivilized and lack of education.
Matters needing attention in public places:
In public places in Thailand, don't do anything that undermines style, such as hugging, kissing or shaking hands, which is considered to be against local customs. In addition, nude sunbathing is only allowed on some beaches. In other places, Thais don't like this behavior. Although this does not constitute a crime, it violates Thailand ... ";
Question 9: What are the precautions in Thailand's travel strategy? I went to Thailand in August. At that time, I went with a group of Chinese and Singapore and had a good time. Thailand is a tipping country, so I have to tip people at the bedside in the hotel every day. If I see a monk in the street, I will avoid him properly, which will inevitably affect his cultivation!
Question 10: Don't touch the Thai head, because Thai customs prohibit travel. Thai people attach great importance to this point, and it will be impolite and unpleasant to touch it!
2. When shopping, especially in the stalls, don't point your foot at the things in the stalls, which is also impolite!
When you meet a monk in the street, those who wear yellow robes should go around and don't squeeze into the monk.
In Thailand, you must never talk about the king of Thailand. If you speak ill of the king, you will be caught. ....
Don't talk loudly in public. Thais speak in a low voice. Many people in China like to talk loudly and laugh in public places in Thailand. Thais are disgusted with this!
These are the most important. I can't remember anything else for the time being.
Food, Oriental Palace, mango glutinous rice, chicken oil rice, Song Dan and curry shrimp are all very good!
As for the scenic spots, Siam Square, Grand Palace, Night Tour of Meilan River, Dream World, MBK, ZhaDozza Market and Jiushan Road in Bangkok are all very famous!
