What are the characteristics of Thai customs?
1. Thais are used to putting their hands together and bowing to each other. When they cross their hands, they often greet each other with "Shawadhika" (which means hello in Thai). When others greet you with folded hands, you should also return the gift with folded hands, otherwise it is impolite. After folding, there is no need to shake hands to greet or say goodbye, but the monk does not have to return the gift to the layman. The handshake ceremony when meeting or saying goodbye has not become popular in Thai society.

2. Thais are used to calling their unknown elders uncles, aunts, aunts, grandfathers and grandmothers. Peers are also called brothers or sisters. They have been educated at home since childhood, and they should respect their parents and elders at home. The school trains students to respect teachers and be polite to senior students. Teaching students to respect their teachers is like respecting their parents.

3. Thai cooking initially embodies the characteristics of aquatic lifestyle, with aquatic animals, plants and herbs as the main ingredients. Avoid using large pieces of meat. Later, this influence led to the use of quite large pieces of meat in the Thai diet. Because of their Buddhist background, Thais avoid using large pieces of animal meat. Large pieces of meat are chopped and mixed with herbs and spices.

Thai people think that the right hand is noble, and the left hand can only be used to take some unclean things. Therefore, when handing something to others, use your right hand to show respect. On more formal occasions, it should be presented with both hands, and using the left hand will be considered as contempt for others. If a woman wants to give something to a monk, she must entrust it to a man.

In Thailand, all boys who believe in Buddhism have to cut their hair and become monks when they reach a certain age, even the royal family is no exception. Thailand has a reputation as a Buddhist country with a yellow robe, and temples are recognized as holy places by Thais. Therefore, all people who enter the temple must be dignified and tidy, and are not allowed to wear shorts, miniskirts, topless clothes or other inappropriate clothes.
