When traveling in Thailand, the tour guide said never to touch the slippers on the ground casually, otherwise it would be too late to regret. Why?

Speaking of tourism in Thailand, I believe many people will have heard about it. As a tourist country, Thailand attracts tourists from all over the world every year. Thai culture has also influenced many people, so many people agree and appreciate it, so I want to visit Thailand myself. When you go to Thailand, you will find that the locals really love to wear slippers! However, the slippers in Thailand are also exquisite. You must not move the slippers on the ground when you go to Thailand.

First, Thais line up to wear shoes.

Because Thailand has a tropical climate for a long time, many locals like to wear slippers, but when we are in supermarkets or playgrounds, we can see that Thais like to put their slippers aside. They all lined up their slippers and rested beside their shoes. Thais don't like standing and waiting. They like to put their slippers there instead of themselves, so that people don't have to wait in line with their shoes on.

Second, personal privacy.

Thai people's awareness of personal privacy is still relatively heavy, slippers are their own personal belongings, and they can't stand outsiders messing with their personal belongings at will. In case they accidentally kick the shoes that the Thai people put on the ground, they will think it is a provocation and a fight may be inevitable. Therefore, in order to respect the Thai people and their culture, and for their own personal safety, don't touch their slippers on the ground.

In addition to not touching Thai slippers on the ground at will, we should also pay attention to several local customs, such as not sneaking around and not scaring others from behind. This is the basic etiquette. For example, you should be polite when you meet a monk, and women should avoid touching the monk. It is not good to be too close to the monk. For example, don't point your toes at people or things, which is disrespectful.
