10 Things You Should Never Do In Thailand
4. Don’t Point With Feet
The Thai people have very strong feelings about people pointing at objects with their feet or using them for other things. They are to be used for walking and nothing else. Break this rule and you might end up deeply offending somebody.
You should also be careful about stepping over people on the ground, especially if you are stepping over their head. Remember also that touching a Thai person’s head is considered to be deeply offensive to many. Even if it is a well-intended action, you might still end up upsetting somebody. Just avoid touching peoples’ heads completely to avoid having any problems.
