Nowadays, people's living standards have improved, and more and more people choose to go abroad for demonstrations. Thailand is a very popular tourist destination. However, the cultural customs of different countries are definitely different, so what taboos should we pay attention to when going to Thailand? This issue of tourism culture will be analyzed for you.

3. Treat monks with courtesy

Thailand especially respects Buddhism, and tourists should respect the Buddha statues and show courtesy to monks. Women should pay special attention not to meet monks. If a monk is accidentally met by a woman while chanting scriptures, he will lose all his efforts and have to start all over again. Therefore, when offering property, you can let men do it for you or put it directly on the table. You can't step on or cross the shadow of a monk. If you meet a monk, you can't give cash. This is their discipline.

7. Don't point at people or things with your feet

It's impolite, and you should also pay attention to the orientation of your legs when sitting.

8. Don't gamble

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

9. You can't sign with a red pen

1. Respect the Thai royal family

Thais respect members of the Thai royal family very much. When they see members of the royal family (including videos) or play the national anthem, they will stand up and salute. You don't need to salute, but you should stop walking for a while, let alone talk.
