What are the customs in Thailand?

1. In Thailand, all Buddhist boys, at a certain age, have to cut off their hair and become monks, even the royal family is no exception. On the streets of Thailand, monks in yellow robes and resplendent temples can be seen everywhere. Therefore, Thailand also has the good name of "yellow robe Buddha country". Buddhism has shaped the moral standards for Thais, and made them form a spirit of advocating tolerance, tranquility and peace.

2. Thais generally don't shake hands when they meet, but cross their hands and call each other "Sawadika" (transliteration in Thai means "happiness and auspiciousness"). The higher the crossed hands are raised, the more they show respect for each other. When saluting, put your hands together, your fingers together, put them on your chest, point your palms at the tip of your nose, and bow your head slightly. When the younger generation sees the elder, raise your hand to your eyes, see your peers, raise it to your nose, and the elder will reciprocate the younger generation and raise it to your chest.

3. Muay Thai is a traditional national art and fighting skill in Thailand. As a legendary fighting skill, Muay Thai is a sport famous for its strength and agility. Eight kinds of weapons, such as fist, leg, knee and elbow, are mainly used to attack, punching and kicking, which makes the knee and elbow force smooth, showing extremely abundant strength and sharp attack power. What people call Muay Thai generally refers to modern Muay Thai, not ancient Muay Thai.

Thai people like elephants and peacocks. Lotus is their favorite flower. They like red and yellow, especially blue. They are afraid of brown, sign their names with a red pen and use a dog's design.

Thai people avoid using large pieces of animal meat. Large pieces of meat are chopped and mixed with herbs and spices. Traditional cooking methods in Thailand are steaming, roasting or barbecuing. Influenced by China, the methods of frying, frying and frying were introduced.
