What are the customs or taboos when traveling to Thailand?

Folk customs

1. Polygamy: A man can marry several wives. Generally, the eldest wife helps find the second wife. , The second wife helps to find the third wife, because it is the wife who helps to find the third wife, so the later the wife is, the uglier she becomes.

2. Buddhist beliefs: Thai families all believe in Buddhism, and there are Buddha statues at home. There are also small houses built outside (I forgot the name), and there are also Buddha statues inside. There are also large Buddha statues outside the hotel we stayed in. The more famous one is the Erawan Buddha, which represents love, career, health and wealth.

3. Gambling and sex are prohibited: Gambling is strictly prohibited, and even playing cards is not allowed. Our colleagues drew a deck of cards when they went there. There are many pornographic places and there are many "beautiful girls". Everyone knows this, so I won't mention it. Generally, group photos start at 50 baht.

4. Emperor system: The emperor has the final say and has a lot of wealth.

Taboos

1. Respect the royal family: When walking on the street, you can see portraits of the emperor posted outside shops and homes everywhere, and many advertisements also feature emperors or empresses. If someone says something bad about them and a Thai hears it, they will definitely get beaten.

2. Gambling is prohibited: Never gamble, you will definitely be caught.

3. Buying cigarettes at specified times: Thailand has specified times for smoking and buying cigarettes. It is illegal to buy cigarettes outside the specified time. I forgot the specific time, you can ask the tour guide.

That’s probably it, there are some that I can’t remember clearly.
