Interesting facts about Thailand



In Thai culture, there are certain beliefs that are basic for them. One is to enjoy everything they do, to put joy in everything and enjoy the day, this thought is called sanuk, the work for them is not worth if you don't have sanuk. 

Another important issue in Thai culture, is the subject of the feet, they consider both spiritually and physically the lesser part of the human body. If you accidentally touch someone with your feet, apologize immediately, if you enter a house in Thailand, you must remove your shoes upon entering. 

Respect for religious symbols is very important in Thai culture, especially Buddha images, symbols for them are for prayer and not as decorative pieces, when visiting the temples, especially in rural areas try not to touch the altars, some people can be very superstitious and consider their sacred sites are contaminated.

People in Thailand do not take the concept of time very seriously, people are usually late for appointments, but the truth is that people do not seem bothered by that, traffic jams are common, and the wait in restaurants and hotels is also usually long.
