What local customs are inviolable when traveling to Thailand?

I only know: don't point your finger at monks, especially women; No gambling, no playing cards; Don't answer the water lamp in Roy cartoon; Don't touch the Thai head.

There is a very traditional saying in Thailand that the human soul is above the head! ! So our heads are noble! ! Don't touch it casually. Only parents, monks and kings can touch a child's head. So, don't touch the Thai head! Really disrespect others! ! Don't just walk overhead or give something to others! This is unacceptable and intolerable to the Thai people. Don't do this!

In Thailand, monks have a high status and are sacred. Especially female friends, don't touch the monk, don't go near the monk! ! Thailand is a Buddhist country, so monks are highly respected. 95% of the people in the country believe in Buddhism, and the consequences can be imagined!

? Thailand is a country where gambling is strictly prohibited! In Thailand, playing cards is a crime! Don't do this, it looks tasteless, and it will bring disaster to yourself! Really, it's not worthwhile!

In the traditional festivals in Thailand, loi krathong is held every year in 165438+ October, which is a festival full of love! ! It fully embodies the beautiful love between men and women in Thailand! Therefore, whenever we go to Roy Craton at night, no matter in cities or towns, as long as we are near the lake or by the sea, the water will be covered with water lanterns, shining with beautiful candlelight, reflecting the backs of young couples, singing happily in flowers and beautiful water lanterns, forming a happy and unforgettable night in Roy Craton.

Never pick up the water lamp while watching, or you will be severely punished!

There are also some taboos in Thailand, such as not writing your name in red ink, not giving change when tipping, and so on.
