Thailand can't talk about other people's transgenderism, and their hair can't be touched, Thailand has their horn festival, and before getting married, men and women have to live in the same house and need to wear garlands on their hands.

In Thailand, you can't touch someone's head, you can't mess with their hair, you can't wear shoes when entering Buddhist shrines, and you can't do anything offensive in public, such as hugging, kissing, and shaking hands.

1.Greetings The etiquette for Thai friends to pay respects and greet them is "namaste". The posture of the salute will also be different for people of different statuses.

For example, when a junior meets an elder, when saluting, raise both hands to the forehead, put the palms together and raise them to the face, and the two thumbs are close to the tip of the nose; When the elders return the salute, they need to put their hands together in front of their chests. 2.Religion Buddhism is the state religion of Thailand, so when visiting a temple in Thailand, you should first dress neatly, men cannot wear shorts, and women cannot wear short skirts.

Thailand's "Three Taboos".

As the saying goes: "Asking questions at the beginning" and "Asking taboos when entering the country". There are many taboos in Thailand, and there are three that I am familiar with: "Buddha taboo", "head taboo" and "foot taboo".

Thailand is a veritable Buddha country, so there are many "Buddha taboos". For example, on the day of "Buddha Day", chicken, duck and fish are prohibited in the market, because killing is prohibited in all parts of the country on this day. In the event of "Buddha Day", some violent competitions in Thailand, such as cockfighting, boxing, and fighting fish, will be suspended.

Yellow-robed monks can be seen everywhere in the streets of Bangkok, and pedestrians must watch their feet when approaching them – they must not step on the figures. According to Buddhism, the figure is the monk himself.

Stepping on the shadow of the monk is equivalent to stepping on the monk himself, which is disrespectful. There are many Buddhist temples in Thailand, so when sightseeing, you must definitely dress neatly. Several members of the group were turned away from the temple gate because they were wearing tank tops and shorts because of the hot weather, and they couldn't get in after a lot of talking.

Thais attach great importance to the skull, which is regarded as a "sacred relic", sacred and inviolable. Therefore, in Thailand, no matter how familiar relatives and friends are, you should not touch each other's heads with your hands, otherwise, people will be anxious with you and feel that you have insulted him or her and his ancestors. The child's head was even more impressive, no one was allowed to touch it except the king, the monks and the parents, and even the barber had to say "sorry" several times before he could move the scissors.

In public, it is not possible to pass over someone's head. I once let the ball fly over the head of a Thai man while playing badminton, causing me to apologize to the Thai man again and again before asking for forgiveness.

The weather in Thailand is hotter, and in the past, Thais liked to walk barefoot, so they thought that the feet were the dirtiest part. Therefore, in Thailand, it is mandatory to wash your feet before going to bed. When sleeping in a bamboo building in a local resident's home, if people see that the guest is sleeping without washing his feet, the host has the right to expel the guest from the house; Also, don't point at things with your feet or kick the door.

Whether you sit in the bamboo building or sit on the floor during a meal, avoid facing the soles of your feet towards others; When sitting idly on the "Erlang legs", the soles of the feet should also be paid attention to downward, not facing others, in case the heart of the feet is facing anyone, people will have to ...... with you on the spotTaboos like these, like a big book, make people read about the colorful and diverse culture of Thailand.

There are many conventions and rules that Thai people have when dealing with people. When friends meet, put their hands together.

10. Exchange of greetings. When the younger generation salutes the elders, they put their hands together and raise their foreheads, and the elders should also bow in return.

If you hit a child on the head with your hand, you think that the child will definitely get sick; It is taboo to sleep with the head facing west, because the sunset in the west symbolizes death.

It is taboo to sign with a red pen, because after death, the surname is written on the coffin with a red pen.
