What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand?

Matters needing attention when traveling to Thailand for the first time:

First of all, you should put your hands together when you say hello. In Thailand, people greet each other with crossed hands, not only when greeting, but also when thanking and saying goodbye. In Thai TV dramas, namaste is very common. Thai people generally don't shake hands and hug in their lives. First, they don't like too close physical contact, but because namaste, as a Buddhist etiquette, has penetrated into the daily life of Thai people. Put your hands together on your chest to show goodwill.

Second, never touch your head. In Thailand, people attach great importance to the head and feet, especially the head, which is considered sacred. If you touch the Thai head, even if you are not careful, it will be regarded as a great shame. When sleeping, it is forbidden to face the west, because the west stands for death. Don't go over your head, even if it is a small action in daily life.

Third, don't tip with coins. In Thailand, coins are of low value and can be used when shopping in supermarkets and other places, but if they are for human consumption, paper money is still used. If you give someone a small coin, the other person will think that you are despising him, which is a very disrespectful practice.

Fourth, we must dress neatly and enter and leave the temple properly. As we all know, Buddhism in Thailand is world-famous, so Thais attach great importance to Buddhist temples and other places, and must not go in and out casually. In and out of the temple, the first thing to do is to dress neatly. Men should not wear shorts, women should not wear short skirts, and sleeveless tops should never be worn. You must take off your shoes before entering the temple and never step on the threshold. After entering the temple, the behavior should not be too casual, and women should not touch monks.

Fifth, don't ride a motorcycle casually. Although motorcycles are very popular in Thailand, you can't ride them casually because you don't have a Thai driver's license and don't know the traffic rules. Riding a motorcycle on the road is very dangerous.
