Avoid arguing with Thais
When visiting a country that has a very different culture from your own, you should know some information to avoid making mistakes. Thailand, for example, is a country that has a truly unique culture and it is very useful to know some principles of its people. Thais, for example, do not like to argue and raise their voices at all. Better the serene and polite confrontation.
Do not offend the Thai royal family
Thais are very attached to their royal family and the figure of their King. It is for this reason that royals cannot be offended and disrespected. It also seems that offending the royal family also leads to legal trouble...
Respect the Sanctity of Temples
Thai temples are sacred places and therefore it is necessary to behave in the correct way during their visit. Avoid clothes that leave shoulders and knees uncovered, do not wear shoes, avoid noise and loud noises of any kind as well as it is good not to eat, drink or smoke inside them. Photographs are generally allowed but taken in a way that does not annoy the normal activities of the temples and with the utmost respect.
Do not be careful on the street
When walking the crowded streets of some areas of Thailand, it is important to pay close attention, especially when crossing. Pedestrians run the risk of being run over because cars may not stop as they pass.
Accepting price in markets
Haggling over the price when buying at the market is absolutely normal in Thailand. The advice is to offer half to get an intermediate price.
Don't respect Buddha
Like all deities and his representations, the Buddha must be treated with the utmost respect for what he is and what he represents for his believers. The advice is therefore not to lean on the statues and not to climb on them (in case you want special photos, above all ...).
Eating the sticky rice with your left hand
To eat the sticky rice you use the fingers of your right hand directly. It is advisable not to use the fingers of the left hand because it is generally considered the hand that is used to wash after going to the bathroom.
