Rules to Live by in Thailand:
- Don’t point
your feet toward the Buddha
- People of
Thailand love their king and queen.
Don’t speak disrespectfully of them. Kings picture is in every Thai
house usually in every Thai room. It
must hang above the head. Its common to
have entire rooms organized around the King’s picture. (notice the king and queen pictures on the highway overhang and at the assembly hall at school the king on the right and the queen on the left.)
- Respect the
elders, bow your head below there’s when you greet them to show respect
- Take shoes
off in the temple, shops and people’s homes
- Be respectful
of books- no stepping on or sitting on them
- Thai people
don’t understand tanning, they expect when you are in the sun an umbrella or long sleeves should be
covering you.
- Do not point
your finger at other people.
- You put your
position in front of people's names. I call
my thai teacher, Teacher Laeit. If you don't know their position you add a p in
front of their name. I am referred to as Teacher Sonya by my students and all the other teachers. That is to
show respect just as in the U.S we would say Mrs. or Miss.
