What should you pay attention to when going to Thailand?

1. Taboo: Never touch a Thai person’s head, because the locals believe that is where a person’s soul resides and should receive the highest respect. In addition, you cannot point your feet at others. These two items are the biggest taboos in Thailand.

2. Religion: Most Thai people believe in Buddhism devoutly. Monks and women are not allowed to be intimate and are not allowed to touch each other. The most appropriate way to express respect is to put your hands together in front of your chest.

3. Dressing: You should dress appropriately in public places, especially in temples, palaces, museums and other places. It is written at the entrance that those who are not well-dressed are not allowed to enter.

4. Take off your shoes: You need to take off your shoes before entering Buddhist temples, temple halls, ancient palaces, most museums and private residences.

Notes:

1. Do not point at people or objects. For example, it is not okay to point at a portrait and ask who this is. This is impolite behavior. Thai people believe that everyone has gods on their heads, so the head is a very important part. Do not touch other people's heads, not even children's, even if you think it is a polite behavior.

2. Take good care of your personal belongings, especially your passport. Losing your passport will be very troublesome. When you leave the bus, take your valuables with you.

3. When traveling at night, inform the tour leader or group members not to travel alone and not to take valuables with you.

4. When taking a cruise ship, if you are seasick or have heart disease or other diseases, take seasickness medicine. Do not sit on the bow of the boat. All personnel should wear life jackets and sit firmly. You need to bring shoes and slippers when visiting the beach, just wear them.
