The way to present to you is so critical in Thailand, Thai officials as all of you will read in front of Thais. There are four points in the presentation in Thailand that travelers would do well to observe.
Many foreigners come from countries where freedom behave as if they were accepted. Any difficulties caused by the authorities, such as intrusion treated and responded accordingly. Thai government officials have a much higher status thanin countries like New Zealand, Australia, United States, Canada and Britain. It 'important to understand this difference in dealing with them. Anyone, including foreigners who profit from it, than by foreigners. The alien must understand that this is not an attack on their self-esteem. It is not about freedom, the right to express yourself or your own, is a question in front of people that are important in Thailand.
Often foreigners' point of reference for their behavioris whether something similar would happen in their countries. It is not wise, Thailand use this as a reference a. It 's a unique country, with its highly developed culture.
Here are four tips to help you in Thailand near you:
First, people learn how to properly Wai Thai. It 'easy to learn the four basic Wais. Probably only need two of them. The WAI is the connection between your palms, and the raising of hands for differentPositions in front of your face. The fingers on show, with the thumb next to your head. If contact with officials in Thailand, it is best done by your finger wai higher and near the nose. You can also tilt the head slightly. In Thailand, government officials a priority, while the state of affairs than if they are very rich. Very high-ranking government officials have a very, very important, and probably will not be able to meet. Your wai is usuallyestimated, and to your advantage to do what you came to do. Even Wai Thai police in the same way.
In restaurants and people serving in Thailand, the wai with the fingertips to chin height is recommended. Wai could be higher if you have chosen Sun, however, not to '"happy-wai, the Thais WAI-Ing is all the time. This leads to the fun than anything else. Wai-luck is common when the Thai people had to end of the firstTime.
Secondly, the clothes you wear determine the rank or class in Thailand. A suit will mean that you went to a professional, good, and that the state in society and in Thailand as well. If you wear a T-shirt, sleeveless especially when you have a project with a low state and will generally be treated accordingly, unless, perhaps, speak Thai, or you're on the beach. The T-shirt, shorts and sandals look, and popular with New ZealandersAustralia ranks as a lower class or maybe in a separate class foreigners.
I'm wearing a dress, for any contact with officials in Thailand. There is a big difference in the way they are treated by Thais, when I wear my dress. I have a friend, Malcolm, who lives in Thailand, and currently lives in Australia. He put a tie and a suit when he arrives or leaves Thailand. He says it's important, and is treated very well on the flights,Where it is not updated.
Thirdly, get, do not mess in any case. Thais are more relaxed and subscribe to the Buddhist philosophy. Angry is not beneficial for foreigners. a person who has no control over your emotions, there will be a "Jai Roon" question. Non-emotional development. Thais value the quality of Jai Yen Yen '; safely remain under pressure. It too is a "better way" when you are angry in your Thailand. "This is the whole body and mind to relax.Then she smiled sweetly and calmly your case, if the person who speaks English. Thais has this "Jai yen yen", because in the Buddhist view of things, believe that the problem they face is probably not as important in the scheme of things ... and probably they are right!
Fourth, the Thais are very timid with strangers, if they do not speak English. This is especially the case outside of Bangkok, in places such as Isaan. They are interested in you, because youdifferent, but their timidity, which may decide to approach. It 's very good for people smiling, in general, and especially when you see them every day. An attempt to talk to them, with hand gestures is just a good way to break the ice. When you smile, your smile almost always returns. Thais are really nice people and I'll help, eager to learn about their culture.
Thais have a great love of sanuk, or fun. If some of the Thai variety shows you see on TVThai love quickly appreciate the humor and fun. If you give in the spirit of things in relation to these four points discussed in Thailand, you have a lot of fun ... You may never want to leave!
