Taboos in Thailand

Shoes off

In Thailand, shoes are removed before entering any establishment, including bars and stores.

Bad Mouthing Authority and Religion

If you have a strong opinion on something having to do with the king or Buddha, it's best to keep your mouth shut. The Thai's have a strong view of their king, and talking down about him or any authority will land you in a very hot seat with the locals.

Revealing Skin

While in big, tourist filled cities, this is okay to a point, you should avoid revealing too much flesh, as this is generally frowned upon.

Public displays of affection

Kissing in public is a big no-no, and you won't see Thais holding hands, either. While most are used to seeing Westerners holding hands, they still don't like to watch you kiss.
