But to truly respect Thai culture, you need to understand some important customs. Greeting – The Wai The traditional Thai greeting is called the “wai”. You press your palms together at your chest and bow your head slightly. The higher your hands and the lower your bow, the more respect you show. Young people always wai first to older people. If someone gives you a wai, you should wai back. The Head and Feet In Thai culture, the head is considered the most important part of the body. You should never touch anyone’s head, even a child’s hair. On the other hand, the feet are the lowest and dirtiest part. Never point your feet at a person or at a Buddha image. Also, do not step over someone who is sitting on the floor. Eating Etiquette When eating, Thais use a fork and a spoon. The fork is held in the left hand and is used to push food onto the spoon in the right hand. The spoon then goes into the mouth. It is considered impolite to put the fork directly into your mouth. Rice is the main food, and you should eat it with every meal. When you finish eating, place your fork and spoon together on your plate to show you are done. Temples and Dress Code If you visit a Buddhist temple, you must dress properly. Cover your shoulders and knees. Remove your shoes before entering the temple building. Also, do not turn your back to a Buddha image – sit with your feet pointing away from it. 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。 ( ) 1. Why is Thailand called “the Land of Smiles”? A.
