One of the amazing fact about Buddhism is Buddhism came to Thailand thru Sri Lanka (Theravada Buddhism) around 14th century and in 18th century Thailand has returned Buddhism back to Sri Lanka (Siam Nikaya) by Upali Thera - a Thai Theravada monk and founder of the Siam Nikaya and up to present time we still keep and stick on the Buddhism tradition so then it became our cultures

I got almost all of this from a Thai friend before I visited. Very good comprehensive guide. Buy a small phrase book and try to learn some simple phrases on the plane over. "Hello" "Please" "Thank You" and "I don't understand" are essential. It helps to learn to count in Thai. You haggle for goods in markets, and haggle for the price of a tuk-tuk ride. If you can learn the Thai for these costs, you're well in front. If that's too daunting, you can use a cheap calculator and pass it back and forth with the shopkeeper, typing in your intended price (careful about handing over your phone though), or a blank piece of paper also works. Never touch a Thai on the head unless you've been invited to do so. Never use your feet to point at anyone. Never point your feet towards a Buddha image. Females should never touch a monk.

What do you mean Dutch? So obvious with that accent :p The Wai I do by default, just to show my appreciation for the help received during my stay. You should NEVER step over someone who is sleeping on the ground, just disrespectful towards that person regardless of where you are. I was in Thailand for a month, took a lot of photo's and even was invited to several temples and in to buildings that are pretty much abandoned. I was asked to make photo's, nearly forced by monks. They welcomed me with open arms so to speak. Smiling is indeed a very big thing in Thailand, you get a lot more done and cheaper if you smile, be polite and don't raise your voice. A huge tip for Americans for example who have the habit of being rather loud (sorry, but it's true), just calm yourself down and find out that you get a lot more for doing so.

[@kimamey]

A very good video but there's a few points I would make based on living part of the time in Thailand where I'm married. I live in Mahasarakham in the rural north-eastern Isaan region so it's possibly more traditional in it's ways. The issue with feet can be confusing. If you are in a temple or someone's home and kneeling or have your legs bent to one side you will be showing the bottom of your feet to people either behind or next to you. It simply can't be helped so it's what Thais do as well. It's also a bit strange that the feet are considered dirty and often are due to walking barefoot but in a market it's common to see a stall holder sitting cross legged on the table with their feet next to the food they are selling. Always seems weird to me. Then there's hair. I often hear that Thais don't touch a person's hair even a child's hair. This isn't true. I often see Thais ruffling the hair of children and I do it myself with my wife's nephew who's nearly 6. I don't do it to adults but then I don't do that in the UK either so it's not really something different. One tip I would give is when going to temples take a pair of socks of some sort. Thailand is usually very hot and sunny and any area outside of a temple building can also be very hot. This is especially the case if the temple steps and outside areas are darker materials as they don't reflect the heat in the same way lighter marble does. Thais do this as well although older ones often have hard soles due to walking barefoot so much. My wife's uncle was a monk and he could walk barefoot on the road even when it was very hot. I just thought of something else. The hand gesture used to beckon someone to you that I would use is the hand held with the palm up and bend the fingers towards you. Thais don't do this and I think the palm up method may be considered rude. They have the palm facing down but often they don't flex the fingers so much which is fine with the palm up but with it down it can look as if they are gesturing you to stay where you are. This confusion got me some angry looks from my then girlfriend when I first went to Thailand. Lastly Thais are generally very polite but not once they get into a vehicle or onto a bike. One of my greatest pleasures when I return to the UK is the general politeness of drivers that I never appreciated before.

[@bjornArk0]

As a Thai myself I agree. The feet thing, from my experiences, are usually for the Temple and older people in general. As for the hair/head thing, it kinda goes the same way: older, monks, and in monastery. For the pointing, it seems like nobody cares at all, I'd say it's mostly being used in a professional settings. There are a few points that I disagree in the video, the other points are practical and I find it appreciative. Edit: typo.

I'm Thai and I just realized I have been "waiing" wrong the whole time yikes why did no one tell me I did it the same for everyone lmaooo

[@billking8843]

It would possibly have been too confrontational to tell you. The guide in this video is very good. A proper wai will always involve bowing you head down to your hands to some degee and the higher yout thumbs go the higher the level of respect. If you lift your hands up to your nose or brow without any bowing of your head it is a 'lazy wai.' Equivalent to Farangs who don't shake hands properly. Because I am a Farang but a fluent Thai speaker and do a high status job back here, I had to learn to wai properly and have to do lots of other Thai things properly.

Thailand the land of smile! I spent one week in Bangkok and saw two people smile including hotel staff. Will never go there again!

Hi beautiful

[@Alfonsodag]

Thai culture is very interesting and I liked the placing of the hands together and bow as a show of respect. But the feet should also get respect, my feet carry me everywhere I go. They protect me from the harsh ground and do so without complaint. The only thing better than having feet for a journey would be to have wings. But we did not receive that blessing, only the birds did as compensation for not having hands to touch with.

[@kanawit]

Your feet carry "you" everywhere. Not me. You are okay to respect your feet but you can't ask others to do so.

Don't forget to stand up in the cinemas when that king song comes on.
