» Thais are very polite and always try to avoid any confrontation. In the case that it is necessary to complain, do it politely and privately if possible in order to find the best solution.
» Pay attention to the dress code required, especially when entering a temple and managing formalities in government agencies such as immigration offices. Improper attire might be not acceptable or even hinder the procedures that interest you.
» Public display of affection between sexes is frowned upon.
» Avoid touching people. The head is the highest part of the body, never touch it. The feet are the least sacred, so avoid also pointing at anyone or touch them with your feet.
» Typically, Thais do not shake hands, use the Wai as a greeting, holding your hands together and lifting them to your face while making a slight bow.
» The right hand must be used when picking up food eaten with fingers.
