The coastline is more than 2600 kilometers long. People compare the territory of a country to the head of an elephant, the north represents the elephant crown, the northeast represents the elephant ear, the Gulf of Siam represents the elephant mouth, and the southern strip represents the elephant trunk. The terrain is mainly plain, which is divided into six parts: the northern mountainous area, which is spread all over the tropical rain forest, is one of the main agricultural areas, rich in teak, and the main city is Chiang Mai; The central part is the famous Chao phraya plain, with fertile land and abundant rice. It is the heart of Thailand and the most densely populated area. The main city is Bangkok. The east is the southeast coast, with many beautiful beaches; The northeast is the plateau, which is the main producing area of the famous jasmine fragrant rice; The mountainous hills in the south, Phuket-located in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, with charming scenery, is a tourist attraction and the main producing area of bird's nest.

Thailand is one of the important tourist countries in Asia, and its charming tropical customs, sunny climate, unique Buddhist culture and gourmet culture are important reasons for attracting tourists. It has a long and splendid history and culture and a long-standing Buddhist tradition, as well as the prosperity and fashion of modern life. Bangkok, the capital, is the political, economic and cultural center of Thailand and an important tourist center in Southeast Asia.

Thailand is an ancient civilization with a Buddhist history of more than 2,000 years. Buddhism is the state religion, and 90% of the people believe in Buddhism, as well as Islam, Christianity and other religions. All religions, big or small, are protected by the Constitution and have equal legal status. Thailand is a Buddhist country, with many temples and Buddha statues everywhere, so it is also called "the country of thousands of buddhas" and "the country of yellow robes". Thailand's silk and handicrafts are world-famous, and its folk dances and arts are rich and colorful. The "shemale" is a unique cultural landscape in Thailand and an important factor to attract foreign tourists, making Thailand the leading tourist country in Southeast Asia.

Thailand has 73 prefectures and 675 counties. According to geographical features, the whole country can be divided into four regions: northern Thailand, central Thailand, northeastern Thailand and southern Thailand. It has a long history, long coastline, beautiful rivers and mountains, dense forests and rich tourism resources. Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Huang Ai and Phuket are the five major tourist centers in China.

Thailand is a multi-ethnic country, with more than 30 ethnic groups, mainly Thais and Laos, accounting for 40 and 35 respectively. Others include Malays, Khmer, Miao, Gui and Yao. There are more than 4 million overseas Chinese and Thai Chinese, accounting for 8.5% of the total population. Chinese control the political, economic and cultural lifeline of Thailand.

There are many ceremonies in Thailand, and the etiquette is also very complicated. Every nation has different ceremonies and etiquette. 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 strut, but you must bow and apologize 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.

Way of getting along

Thailand is famous for its tolerance and hospitality. They show a smile and humility to everyone. Ordinary travelers can easily adapt to local customs. But here are some special tips:

Monarchy

Traditionally, Thais have deep respect for members of the royal family. Tourists should respect Tai Huang, Empress Dowager Cixi and their children. For example, every morning at 08:00 and evening at 18: 00, when the national anthem is played in public places, you should stand. 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

Thailand's laws have many chapters on 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 be topless or 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 floors of temple halls are generally clean. Buddhist monks are forbidden to contact with ladies. If you want to give something to a monk, you should first give it to a man to do it for him. A long-sleeved coat is buttoned to the neck and covered with a towel.

Social usage

Thai people will put their hands together when greeting, which looks like praying. Thais call it "wai". Generally speaking, some people will say hello to the elderly first, and then the elderly will return the gift together.

Thais believe that the head is the highest part of the body, and it is 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 to be 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. Don't cross people's bodies, please walk around or politely ask them to move. When sitting on the floor, you should also keep your feet away from anyone.

It is unacceptable to show love in public. You may have seen some very westernized young couples holding hands, but this is only common in enlightened communities. In Thai society, losing your temper is the worst policy. Thais think this represents despicable behavior.

Thais have great respect for the king and members of the royal family. Don't talk about the royal family casually. Respect members of the royal family when they are present.

Buddhism is the national religion of Thailand, so no matter how big or small the Buddha statue is, it should be respected. Never climb it. Be polite to monks, but don't give money directly. Women can't touch monks. If you need to deliver something, you should ask a man to deliver it for you or put it directly on the table. Dress neatly when visiting the temple, do not wear shorts, short skirts or sleeveless tops, and take off your shoes when entering the main hall.

Thai people regard their heads as sacred places, so don't touch others' heads casually. Don't point your feet at people or things, especially the soles of your feet. Don't open and close the door with your feet. Use your right hand when carrying things, not your left hand.

Men and women should not be too intimate in public. If you look closely, you will find that Thai men and women rarely hold hands in public.

Most Thais are very polite. It's hard to see anyone talking loudly or quarreling, so keep your voice down and don't lose your temper in public no matter what happens.

Gambling is forbidden in Thailand, so don't play cards or mahjong even in hotel rooms.

Thais are very clean, spitting and throwing things are considered very uncultured. Thai people also pay great attention to the cleanliness of the bathroom, so they should pay attention to keeping it clean whether they go out or in the hotel.

Thailand is a smiling country with warm, kind and helpful people. Therefore, after arriving in Thailand, it is also a way to understand Thai culture, even though you can talk with Thais boldly. Don't hesitate to ask for help when you are in trouble.
