Thailand Social Etiquette

If you are planning a holiday or business trip to Thailand, you should learn a bit about Thainess. The Thai culture is different from anywhere in the world and if you want to make an impression on the locals and/or avoid an embarrassing situation (and possibly jail for insulting the Thai Monarchy), you need to read this book and follow the easy guidelines. Thai people differentiate between high and low social status, young and old, male and female, strong and weak, master and servant, senior and junior, and rich and poor. The manner and use of language in and between these social groups are different. Thai children are taught in their early years about these “high and low” social relationships.
