In recent years, Thailand has become a tourist destination for more and more people, and in order to ensure a pleasant trip, it is important to know the customs and taboos of other countries when you go out, so as not to cause trouble. Thailand is a Buddhist country, and there are many differences between customs and habits in China, so what do you need to pay attention to when going to Thailand? Let's take stock.

Religious taboos in Thai customs.

1.Thai monasteries are recognized as sacred places by Thais. Please dress modestly when entering the Buddhist temple, and no short skirts, shorts, or backless clothing of any kind will be allowed.

When entering a temple, a Muslim temple or a private residence, visitors are required to remove their shoes and be careful not to step on the threshold.

2.Do not touch the Buddha statue and do not climb any of the Buddha statues inside or outside the temple. Respect all Buddha statues, no matter how big or small.

Do not put the Buddha statue in your trouser pocket, Thais consider it a blasphemy to touch the lower part of the body with the Buddha statue. You can't finger the monk, you can't touch the (body) monk. In particular, women are not allowed to shake hands with monks, they are not allowed to sit next to monks in cars, and even if monks come to greet them (which is often seen by foreign women), they should politely distance themselves.

3.When you meet a monk on a sunny day, if you pass in front of the monk, you must bypass the monk's figure. According to Buddhism, the figure of the monk is the monk himself, and crossing the figure of the monk is equivalent to crossing the monk, which is a manifestation of disrespect for the monk.

Social etiquette in Thai customs.

1.When Thais greet each other, they do not use the typical handshake style, but put their hands together as if they were praying; Thai people call it "wai". Generally speaking, the younger one greets the older one first, and the older one then returns the salute.

2.Thai people believe that people's right hand is clean and their left hand is unclean, and the left hand can only be used to hold something unclean. Therefore, holding important things with the left hand will attract disgust.

Left-handers can be unnoticed in everyday life, but absolutely not in formal settings. In more formal occasions, it is also served with both hands, and with the left hand is considered to be contemptuous. Thai people use their right hand when eating, and they also use their right hand when handing things to others as a sign of respect.

If you have to use your left hand, say "Left hand, forgive."

3.Thais do not use a red pen to sign because when a Thai dies, they write their surname on the coffin, and they use a red pen to write it. Thais love red and yellow, and brown is taboo.

People used to use colors to represent different days: red on Sunday, yellow on Monday, pink on Tuesday, green on Wednesday, orange on Thursday, light blue on Friday, and fuchsia on Saturday. People often wear different colors of clothing on different days.

In the past, white was used for funerals, but now it is changed to black.

The royal taboo of Thai customs.

Thai people have great respect for their king, queen and royal family, so they should be absolutely cautious in criticizing the royal family in front of others, and Thai law has a punishment for the crime of disrespect to the royal family. Therefore, visitors should be careful to show proper etiquette, such as when there are royal family members in public, it is best to pay attention to the movements of other people and follow suit.
