2. Pay attention to common sense when studying in Thailand

1, respect religion

Thailand is a country where all people believe in religion, and 90% of the domestic residents believe in Buddhism, which is very common in daily life and has been integrated into all aspects of life. Everyone needs to be especially careful when dealing with others.

For example, the head plays a very important role in Buddhism. When people associate with local people, try not to touch their heads. In Buddhist trading, the foot is a dirty part, so it is considered disrespectful not to use it when instructed.

Step 2 respect the royal family

The royal family has a high status in Thailand. Although the government dominates the development of the country, the royal family recognizes the backbone of the people, who have a strong sense of existence, similar to the status of the Queen of England in the Commonwealth countries, and exist like mascots.

Therefore, when you arrive in Thailand, you need to respect their royal family and don't discuss and criticize members of the royal family in public, which may not only offend the locals, but also violate the law and be punished accordingly.

3, color taboo

In terms of color, everyone needs to pay attention to it. Thailand itself is a bold country in color consumption. All kinds of bright colors are common in the street, so pay special attention when using them. There are many taboos.

Red is frequently used in solemn occasions such as sacrifices, bright yellow is a very common bright color, and brown is a rarely used color. In addition, there is a representative theme color every day, seven days a week, and everyone can vote.

4, dress taboos

Thailand has its own national costumes, which you can often see, or you can buy one or two sets of traditional costumes, so that you can better integrate into the local environment and help everyone adapt to life.

In addition, we should pay special attention to the dress of traditional religious buildings such as temples. Don't wear suspenders and short skirts to cover your limbs tightly. This is a way to show respect, and everyone should do as the Romans do.

3. Ways to save money by studying in Thailand

1. Specify a weekly meal plan.

What to eat every week, it is best to follow the discount plan of the supermarket, so that snacks and convenience foods can be avoided when shopping in the supermarket.

Make a list before you go, and strictly follow it.

It depends on self-control, make a list, buy things, and then check out.

3. Discounted goods can be coupons+group purchases in Thailand.

In China, we can use all kinds of coupons, and group buying is more popular. In Thailand, find the business you want to go to, download and print the coupon. In addition, you can also find group coupons, fruits, vegetables, food, meat and so on. There will be a discount after work.

Step 4 bring your own lunch

In a short time in the morning, you can make your own sandwiches, which are not expensive and can save a lot of money. But to pay attention to nutrition, you can buy more nutritious food, such as beans, rice, milk and so on.

Buy second-hand goods

Buying second-hand furniture is suitable for renting children's shoes in Thailand. Second-hand furniture can be said to be both practical and economical, because we only live here temporarily after all, and there is no need to buy brand-new furniture. There are good second-hand furniture stores in major cities in Thailand, and you can also go to the second-hand market we recommend.

And second-hand books. Many Thai universities sell second-hand books in the second-hand book area, as well as school billboards and BBS, and these books are absolutely authentic, usually at a discount of 4 to 20%. If you are very lucky, you will also get attached class notes, which is great to think about. I once had the experience of using my senior's books and his notes to get high marks. But when buying second-hand books, you must pay attention to the publication time, because different versions are likely to change, so try to buy the closest version.

6. Asian restaurants

Asian restaurants are common in major cities in Thailand, including Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and their prices are relatively low. The most common are sushi and jiaozi.

7. Market

Compared with supermarkets, the local market is a very cheap place, from fresh fruits and vegetables to pizza bread, with a wide variety and low price. ..

8. Free lunch on campus

Free things are always the best, especially free food, which is also the best point of college life abroad. There are often free barbecues in various clubs of Thai universities or in various activities organized by schools. Pay attention to school posters or notices of free food activities. It is not only a good way to save money, but also an opportunity to participate in activities.

9. Make good use of your student status

In many cities, foreign students have certain discounts, such as watching movies and musicals. In terms of transportation or books, your student ID card will give you a good preferential policy. Therefore, you must make good use of your student status.

10. Car pool

Just like hitchhiking now, many schools in Thailand have carpooling websites where you can find someone to hitchhike or carpool. Everyone is happy to carpool and share the fuel cost.
