Pointing others in Thailand is known to be disrespectful. Especially, if you visit Thailand, you should keep in mind that pointing monks and other members of the royal family is offensive.

Family is first priority

For people in Thailand, Family comes first before anything. Not only this, families in the country are mainly joint families and are large. They also keep the strong link with other members of their families even if they live far away.

Monks are admired

In Thailand, Monks are highly respected. You can see Monks almost everywhere in Thailand. There are special seats designated for monks and females should be more careful around monks i.e. not touching a monk or directly handling things to them.

Shoes should be taken off

When entering into anybody's home, shoes should be taken off. As it is seen that shoes are walked on the ground and carries all the dust so it is kind to take them off before entering the house.
