Dining etiquette in Thailand.

(1) When Thai people meet, they always greet each other with their hands folded. When the younger generation salutes their elders, they raise their forehead with their hands folded, and the elders will reciprocate with their hands folded. The higher your hand is raised, the deeper your respect will be. Of course, depending on the situation, there are also people who bow down. If the elders sit, the younger generation can only sit on the ground or squat, not taller than the elders.

(2) Thai people take rice as their staple food and fish and vegetables as their non-staple food. Have western food for breakfast, such as toast, butter, jam, coffee, milk, fried eggs, etc. And I like Chinese food for lunch and dinner, such as Sichuan food and Cantonese food in China. Thais like spicy food, but they don't like beef, soy sauce, and braised dishes with sugar. I especially like drinking beer. When drinking coffee and black tea, I like to eat cupcakes and dry snacks. After dinner, I have the habit of eating apples and pears, but I don't eat bananas In addition, use your right hand when handing something to others, and say "please forgive me" when you have to use your left hand.

(3) After contacting in advance, Thais will keep the appointment on time and take off their shoes in the house. Because men and women don't kiss, even in public, men and women can't touch each other's bodies when dance music is playing. At this time, guests had better sit still. When communicating with Thai people, you can send some small souvenirs and flowers, and the gifts should be packaged in advance.

When you are a guest in Thailand, don't put your feet in front of others, don't kick the door with your feet, don't cross your legs while sitting, and it is an insult to point your feet at others. When a woman sits, her legs should be close together, otherwise she is considered uncultured.
