Thailand is a Buddhist country with strong religious traditions and customs that must be considered and respected, while visiting this exotic country.

Shorts and t-shirts are not suitable for visiting sacraments, and at the entrance to the temple your shoes should be certainly taken off, you can not sit with your feet directed towards Buddha or with your legs crossed, that will be perceived as an insult to the surrounding people.

Not recommended to make photos, climbing on the statues of Buddha, as well as a woman should not communicate with the monks. Buddhist monks are not allowed to touch a woman and to take something from her hands.

If the lower part of the human trunk is considered vile by Thais, then the head is vice versa – sacred. Touching the head of a person, where the spirit, guarding the life, lives as believed, is also considered an insult.

In Thailand it is not accepted to discuss the royal family, it can be only praised, and disputes are resolved in a peaceful conversation.
