Why can't men say Sawadika when they travel to Thailand?

Although we like to say Sawadika in movies and daily life, we only know it from movies. I can say it here, but I am particularly ignorant when I go to Thailand. That word is a Thai greeting for transvestites and women. If you talk about Sawadika there, you will be mistaken for a shemale.

This word is a habit of addressing terms, just as "she he" in Chinese is gender-differentiated, so are the needs of "she he" in English. In a special country like Thailand, besides men and women, there are a large number of third-sex transvestites, so we need to pay more attention to the language of gender classification. If a man uses the word Sawadika in Thailand, he is likely to be mistaken for a shemale, because you use a greeting with female gender characteristics. Hello.

There are also various reactions and repercussions about this hello greeting. In our country, there is not much difference between male and female voices, because men need to use a B pronunciation after Sawadika, which is silent. Therefore, when you travel to Thailand without knowing the culture of other countries, don't be smart enough to say hello with Sawadika. If you are misunderstood, it is an embarrassing thing.

Of course, Thais will be very tolerant of tourists. Most people in Thailand believe in Buddhism and have good hearts. Thais are also willing to teach you Thai, and they also want to learn Chinese, so even if male tourists say Sewadika, they can understand it, but if you know what it means, you have to say it, which may be hopeless. But as tourists, we should learn more about the local culture and prevent unnecessary troubles and jokes.
