✅ Dos for a Respectful & Enjoyable Visit
- Dress modestly at temples: Cover shoulders and knees; carry a scarf or sarong.
- Use the “wai” greeting: Press palms together and bow slightly to show respect.
- Speak politely: Add “krub” (for men) or “ka” (for women) at the end of sentences.
- Remove shoes before entering homes or temples: It’s a sign of respect.
- Support local businesses: Eat at family-run restaurants and shop at local markets.
- Use both hands when giving or receiving items: Especially with elders or officials.
🚫 Don’ts to Avoid
- Don’t touch anyone’s head: It’s considered the most sacred part of the body.
- Avoid pointing your feet at people or Buddha statues: Feet are seen as the lowest part of the body.
- Never disrespect the monarchy: It’s both culturally offensive and legally punishable.
- Don’t raise your voice or show anger in public: Thais value calm and composure.
- Avoid public displays of affection: Especially in rural areas and religious sites.
- Don’t climb or touch Buddha images: They are sacred and should be treated with reverence.
