Thai towel folding method

The mistake should be: B D Thai customs Thailand has many rituals and complicated etiquette, and the rituals and etiquette of all ethnic groups are different. Thais are the main ethnic group in Thailand, so Thai etiquette is basically Thai etiquette. When Thai people meet, they should cross their hands on their chests to say hello. The method is to put your palms together on your chest. This is a greeting ceremony, equivalent to a handshake in the west. The higher the palm of your hand, the deeper the respect. Ordinary people should put their hands above their heads when they see the king. Young people should raise their hands to their foreheads when they meet their elders. Equal people should put their hands under their noses when they meet. The elder should return the gift to the younger generation, hold it to his chest, and keep his hands not higher than his chest. People of lower status or younger age should pay their respects first. You must strike back when others cross their hands, otherwise it is impolite. Bow your head slightly when folding and say "Savady!" (Sawattdee, that is, "hello"). There is no need to shake hands after the two sides salute each other, men and women do not shake hands when they meet, and laymen cannot shake hands with monks. Don't wear sunglasses when talking to people, gesture moderately, and don't point your finger at each other. When you walk in front of others (whether sitting or standing), you can't hold your head high, you must bow your head to express your apologies for what you have to do. Especially when women walk in front of others. When students come to the teacher, they must bend their hands. Thailand is a kingdom and the Thai people have great respect for the royal family. As tourists, they should do as the Romans do, pay tribute to their king, queen, prince and princess, and stand up when the national anthem is played in the cinema or the portrait of the king appears on the screen. Whenever there is a grand gathering, banquet, or even before the theater begins to perform, the Ode to the King should be played first. All the audience here are standing still, no walking, no talking. Pedestrians on the road must stand on the spot, and soldiers and policemen should stand at attention and salute, otherwise it will be considered disrespectful to the king. The main ceremonies of Thai people can be roughly divided into coronation ceremony, tonsure ceremony, shower ceremony, new house inauguration ceremony and other ceremonies. Thai people's warm and polite character has long been famous in the world. I believe that people who came to Thailand were warmly, friendly, hospitable and polite received by the Thai people. Although Thais seem to be shy, in fact, they are easy to get along with strangers and always have a smile on their faces, so Thailand has the reputation of "smiling country". However, all ethnic groups in Thailand have some taboos. If they violate their own taboos, they will cause dissatisfaction from their owners or others, and even strong opposition from local people. In the future, diseases, deaths or crop failures will be considered to be caused by people who violate taboos. Do as Romans do in Rome. It is necessary to know some local customs when you come to Thailand. Thailand-The status of Buddhism in Thailand is sacred and inviolable, and any blasphemy may be detained, even for foreign tourists. The following are just the things that tourists need to pay attention to: don't point to the monk, don't touch the monk. In particular, women are not allowed to shake hands with monks and sit next to monks in cars. Even if the monks say hello (which foreign women often meet), they should politely stay away. 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 to her personally, the monk will open the yellow robe or towel and accept what the woman gives her. In this process, monks are not allowed to touch women. Every Buddha statue, big or small, damaged or not, is sacred. It is absolutely forbidden to climb the Buddha statue to take pictures or make actions that undermine respect for the Buddha statue. Never send cash when you meet a monk who wants alms, 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 understand religious taboos, even if they don't mean to insult religion, will also cause resentment from others. In the mosque, men should wear hats, women should wear trousers or long skirts, and their hair should be wrapped in scarves. Take off your shoes when you enter the mosque. Pay tribute to the royal family: Thais respect their king, queen and royal family very much, so it is absolutely prudent 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 there are royal people present in public, it is best to pay attention to the actions of others and follow suit. Dress: Thai temples are recognized as sacred places by Thai people. Please dress appropriately and dignified when entering the Buddhist temple. You are not allowed to wear any short skirts, shorts or topless clothes. When entering Buddhist temples, Muslim temples or private houses, tourists need to take off their shoes and be careful not to step on the threshold. Thai women: Usually Thai women are more conservative. Please don't touch them without their consent. Address: Thai people usually add a word "Khun" before their names, which is unisex and means "Mr", "Mrs" and "Miss". In Thai companies, employees often mention "Pee" and "Nong", which gives people a kind feeling. 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 are forbidden by outsiders to touch children (especially young monks) on the head. 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 "I'm sorry" before a haircut. Thais can't sleep with their heads facing west, because the sunset symbolizes death in the west. People can't park their heads west until they are dead. When building a house in Thailand, it is customary for the house to face south or face south instead of facing west. Besides, growing a beard is also considered impolite. Unclean left hand: Thais believe that people's right hand is clean and unclean, and the left hand can only be used to take some unclean things. So 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, it should be presented with both hands, and using the left hand will be considered as contempt for others. Unclean sole: Like the left hand, the sole of the foot is considered unclean. Avoid putting your feet on the table when sitting. Hitting people or pointing people with your toes will be severely reprimanded. Never lift your feet at the Buddha. Thai people think that feet are despicable and can only be used for walking, but 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 strict when they sit down, and their legs must be close together, otherwise they will be considered uncivilized and uneducated. Precautions 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 it does not constitute a crime, it violates Thai Buddhist philosophy. Birth taboo: In Thailand, midwives can only cut the umbilical cord with bamboo knives, not scissors. After the baby is born, put the baby's placenta in a clay pot and bury it behind the house after the baby is full moon. Newborn babies have to soak in cold water several times a day until their faces turn pale and their lips turn purple. It is said that this can prevent the child from getting sick. Neighborhood friends and relatives visit? When you are a woman, you can't talk about cold and heat, sweat rash, disease and death. Other taboos: Thais don't need to sign in red, because? After death, Thais should write their surnames on the coffin mouth with red pen. It is forbidden to dry clothes, especially underwear and socks, in places where people often walk around, such as doorways and roofs. In some rural areas, it is forbidden to praise other people's children for their beauty. You can't carry water on the lamp. Thai people hold loi krathong every year on the full moon of 65438+February in Thai calendar, which is the most lively festival in Thailand. When you look at the water lamp, you must pay attention. No matter how delicate and beautiful it is, never pick it up, or you will be severely punished.
