What are the taboos in Thailand? What should I pay attention to?

1. No gambling

Gambling is forbidden in Thailand, and you can't play cards or mahjong even in a hotel room.

The head is sacred and inviolable.

Don't touch other people's heads casually, and children should try not to, because Thai people think heads are the most sacred. When one person passes something to another, never go over the head of others.

3. Make a wish to return to God

Thailand is a Buddhist country, and more than 90% people believe in Buddhism. There are many temples in Thailand, such as the famous "Four-faced Buddha" in Bangkok, because you have to make a wish in Thailand.

Be polite to monks

Thailand respects Buddhism, and tourists should be polite to monks and respect every Buddha statue; Women should avoid contact with monks. If a monk is accidentally touched by a woman while chanting, all his efforts will be in vain and he will have to start all over again. When providing property, you need to ask a man to do it for you or put it directly on the table.
