Thai customs

Thai people are top-heavy and their feet are the lowest in people's eyes. Because the climate in Thailand is like summer all the year round, ancient Thais used to walking barefoot, so their feet are considered to be the dirtiest.

When tourists sit with Thai friends, don't tilt your soles to anyone. This is an insulting move, which means stepping on people. Pointing at things with your feet is more impolite, and kicking the door with your feet will be spurned.

When handing something to someone, use your right hand, not your left. Because in ancient times, the left hand was used to do dirty work such as wiping the bottom after defecation, and it was also dirty. It was a contemptuous move to pass things with the left hand.
