What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand in October?

In October, Thailand is still dominated by short-term wet weather, with an average temperature of around 27 and 28 degrees.

Although it is generally believed that October in Thailand is still a rainy season, there is less rain in October, and it usually only lasts for 2 to 3 hours every day, usually in the morning, and then around 5 pm.

As for dressing, just wear short sleeves outdoors. It's cool indoors, so it's better to bring a coat.

Thailand is not a traditional tipping country, but because there are more tourists from Europe and America, it has gradually become a habit of tipping. Tipping is a kind of etiquette, and there are no hard and fast rules. It is suggested to tip the bellboy, room service, masseur and shemale in the hotel, usually starting from 2 baht. Pay attention to paper money instead of coins, which are used to send beggars away.

Cultural customs and taboos

Folding ceremony

When Thai people meet, they should greet each other with their hands folded in front of their chests. The way is to put them between their chests. This is a greeting ceremony, which is equivalent to shaking hands in the west. The higher the hands are raised, the deeper the respect.

Royal Family in Thailand

There is still a royal family in Thailand, and the people have great respect for it. It is absolutely prudent to criticize the royal family in front of others. Thai law has penalties for disrespect to the royal family. Therefore, tourists should be careful to show proper manners. For example, when there are royal people present in public, it is best to pay attention to other people's actions and follow suit.

Dress for visiting temples

Thai temples are sacred places recognized by Thai people. Please dress appropriately and dignified when entering Buddhist temples. Anyone wearing short skirts, shorts or topless clothes will not be allowed to enter. When entering the Buddhist temple, visitors need to take off their shoes and be careful not to step on the threshold.

don't touch your head

don't touch other people's heads and don't mess up other people's hair. If you accidentally touch someone's head, you should apologize sincerely immediately. Thais are forbidden to touch the head of children (especially young monks) by outsiders. Only kings, monks and their parents are allowed to touch the head of children.

unclean left hand

Thais believe that people's left hand is unclean, and it can only be used to take some unclean things. Therefore, holding important things with your left hand will attract disgust. On more formal occasions, you should also offer them with both hands, and using your left hand will be considered as contempt for others.

unclean soles of feet

soles of feet are also considered unclean. When seated, avoid putting your feet on the table. Hitting or pointing at people with your toes will be severely reprimanded, and you must never rush your feet at the Buddha. When sitting, don't tilt your feet and point your feet at others.

Monks are forbidden to

not shake hands with monks, only to greet them with folded hands. Women are not allowed to touch monks. If you want to give money, you can ask men to do it for you or put it directly on the table. Never send cash when you meet a monk who is begging for alms, because it is an act of breaking the monk's precepts.
