What are the special customs of Thai people?

1. Thais don't like to shake hands with others in communication, and generally use "namaste" when meeting. Stand at attention when crossing the ceremony, with your hands and fingers together and palms facing each other. The courtesy given to each other varies with the height of raising your hand. There are usually four specifications: one is to hold it under the forehead for the younger generation to salute the elders; The second is to hold it on the chest, which is mostly used for elders to return gifts to the younger generation; The third type is carried under the nose and is generally used by peers; The fourth is to hold it above your head, which is only used when civilians visit King Tai.

In communication situations, Thais are used to addressing each other by internationally popular names, such as "Miss" and "Sir". When talking, Thais are used to whispering. In the eyes of Thai people, it is disrespectful to be expressionless, frowning or shouting when interacting with others.

In Thailand, water lily is the national flower, laurel is the national tree and white elephant is the national animal. Never underestimate or criticize these things.

4. When communicating with Thais, never talk nonsense, criticize Buddhism, or lose respect for Buddhist disciples, especially don't show disrespect for Buddha Sakyamuni. When visiting Buddhist temples in Thailand, you should take off your shoes, hats and sunglasses. In the Buddhist temple, don't make noise and take photos and videos at will. In particular, it is forbidden to climb to the Buddha statue to take pictures or touch the Buddha statue. Women are also forbidden to contact monks.

Thai people love red and yellow very much and have a good impression on blue. In their eyes, blue symbolizes "eternity" and "stability" on Thailand's tricolor national flag, and blue is in the middle, representing the royal family. For brown, Thai people are more taboo. Usually, they also taboo to sign with red pen or engrave in red, because they think it is the treatment of the dead.

6. Thai people have many taboos in manners and behaviors. Generally speaking, Thais have a top-heavy attitude. The so-called "heavy head" means the Thai head, especially the head of a child, which is generally absolutely not allowed to touch. It is considered an insult to carry something through the head of a Thai. The so-called "light feet" means that Thai people think that feet are useless except walking. Therefore, Thais are not allowed to indicate the direction with their feet and step on the threshold with their feet. When sitting on the floor in front of outsiders, you are not allowed to cross your legs or spread your legs.

7. When you are in contact with Thai people, don't slap or touch them with your left hand. Pointing at each other with your fingers is also not allowed.
