When you meet members of the Thai royal family, you must bow. What do you think of this traditional culture?

Personally, in China, worship is rarely used in education. Our current culture is that men have gold under their knees.

However, due to the different customs of each country, I suggest you pay attention to the local customs before you go. In Thailand, people need to kneel when they see the king. Do China tourists also need to kneel down? See what the local tour guide says.

In Thailand, kneeling in front of members of the royal family is called kneeling ceremony. When saluting, be sure to put your legs together, then put your legs on the ground and put your hands together. You must pronounce certain words with your mouth. In Thailand, whenever you meet a member of the royal family, you should salute wherever you are. If you don't salute, you are likely to go to jail. This also makes the Thai people have more awe of the king and members of the royal family. Many of us should be able to see photos of ordinary people, including celebrity artists, kneeling down to local royal family members online.

As foreigners, we don't need to do this, but in order to be like the Romans, we can squat or sit on the ground when the locals kneel to the royal family. Just don't stand there and do something special. After all, there are still people kneeling or squatting. It's rude of you to stand alone. It looks awkward.

Therefore, there is no need to force yourself to salute. The crawling ceremony without learning or skill is actually meaningless. Why do you have to be an asshole to laugh? We should have our own national confidence, but we should also respect the customs and habits of other countries. As long as we can respect the culture and customs of other countries, we can sit or squat. This is enough to show our sincerity and friendship, isn't it? No matter what you do, you can't help but respect it. Don't criticize other countries. Don't tell me what to do. Don't take pictures with your mobile phone. This is very impolite.

It is understandable that the tour guide said that you can't do as the Romans do, but this disrespect undoubtedly touched the bottom line. It's hard to say what the consequences will be, so don't challenge easily. Although we can't really submit to foreign royal families, it's not difficult to respect others, is it?

I wonder what you think of the bow-down ceremony in Thailand? If you meet members of the royal family while traveling in Thailand, what kind of way will you choose to express your friendship and sincerity to Thailand?
