What are the customs and taboos in Chiang Mai?

1. Do not denigrate the royal family. Thai people have great respect for the royal family, so visitors should be careful to show respect for the King and Queen and members of the royal family.

2. Thailand is a Buddhist country. When visiting religious places, please take off your shoes and hat before entering the temples with Buddha statues. Please note that sleeveless shirts and short tops, short skirts or skirts above the knee and hot pants are not appropriate.

3. Women should not touch the monks, not even slightly. If you need to pass something to a monk, you should give it to another male present first and then he will pass it to the monk.

4. The Thai way of greeting is to put your hands together in front of your chest, then nod and bow politely.

5. The head and feet are the highest and lowest parts of the human body. It is unlucky for Thais to touch a person's head, even as a friendly gesture. It is considered extremely rude to point at someone or an object with your feet.
