What are the customs and habits of Thai people?

Thais are used to calling their unknown elders uncles, aunts, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers. Peers are also called brothers or sisters. They have been educated at home since childhood, and they should respect their parents and elders at home. The school trains students to respect teachers and be polite to senior students. Teaching students to respect their teachers is like respecting their parents.

At the annual Songkran Festival, people are used to sprinkling holy water on their respected elders and superiors. On Teachers' Day, students should pay tribute to their teachers.

The fashion of respecting teachers and valuing morality is related to the education of advocating kindness and repaying kindness in society. There is no preference for boys in Thailand, and many families are happier to have girls than boys. Thai women have achieved equal status with men in all aspects, such as education, voting and election.
