Taboos in Thailand's Songkran Festival

Taboos during the Songkran Festival in Thailand

1, no backslapping, no scaring others from behind.

Ladies are not allowed to wear short skirts and sleeveless dresses when they enter the palace. Men must wear jackets with collars, not slippers.

Take off your shoes when you enter the temple. Clothes should be neat and dignified. You'd better not wear shorts.

4. Be polite when meeting monks; Women should avoid touching monks, such as offering property, asking men to do it for them or putting it directly on the table.

When greeting, put your hands together and don't point to people or things with your feet.

6. The head is a sacred part of the body. Don't touch other people's heads casually. In Thai, Khun means Mr., Ms. and Mrs., which is applicable to both men and women.

7. Don't be too intimate with men and women in public places, and don't lose your temper in public.

8. Gambling is prohibited in Thailand. You can't play cards or mahjong even in a hotel room.
