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.

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.

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 when you enter the temple, and dress neatly and dignified. You'd better not wear shorts.

Other taboos:

1) When you pass in front of the 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 men meet girls, they 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 when handing things to others as a sign of respect. Don't point at people. Take off your shoes before entering the Thai house. Don't step on the threshold.

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 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 by hand, the monk will open the yellow robe or towel to accept what the woman gives her. In this process, the monk is 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 know religious taboos, even if they don't mean to insult religion, will cause others' disgust. In the temple, men should wear hats, women should wear pants or long skirts, and their hair should be wrapped in scarves. Take off your shoes when you enter the temple.

Salute 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 up:

Thai temples are recognized as holy 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. Visitors need to take off their shoes when entering Buddhist temples, temples or private houses. Be careful not to step on the threshold.

Thai women:

Generally speaking, Thai women are more conservative. Please don't touch them without their consent.

Salutation:

When Thai people usually address people by their first names, they will add a word "Khun" in front of their names, which means Mr., Mrs. and Miss. In Thai companies, employees often equate Pee (brother and sister) with Nong (brother and sister), 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 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 barber 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 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, while their left hand is unclean. 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.

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 people or pointing people with your toes will be severely reprimanded. Never lift your feet at the Buddha. 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 strict when they sit down, and their legs must be close together, otherwise they will be considered uncivilized and uneducated.

Matters needing attention in public places:

In public places in Thailand, don't do anything that is detrimental to 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 Thailand ... >>

Question 9: What are the precautions in Thailand's travel strategy? I went to Thailand in August. I went with a group of people and had a good time. Thailand is a tipping country, so in my hotel, I tip the people by the bed every day. If I see a monk in the street, I will avoid it properly, which will inevitably affect his cultivation!

Question 10: Don't touch the Thai head, because Thai customs prohibit travel 1. Thai people attach great importance to this, and it will be impolite and unhappy 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!

3. When you meet a monk in the street, people wearing yellow robes should go around and don't squeeze into the monk.

4. In Thailand, you can never discuss the King of Thailand. If you speak ill of the king, you will be caught. ....

Don't talk loudly in public places. Thais speak in a low voice. Many people in China like to talk loudly and laugh when walking 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, Zadoza Market and Jiushan Road in Bangkok are all famous!
