The information here is to give foreign visitors to Thailand some insight into Thai culture that is relevant to normal daily life. Armed with this knowledge you can avoid causing offence and impress Thai people with your ‘Thainess’. This will make your trip to Thailand that much more enjoyable and your interactions with Thai people much more satisfying.
There is not really a Thai word for culture. If you ask Thai people to describe Thai culture they will most likely answer with descriptions of traditional Thai music, dance or theater.
Informality and general friendliness in relationships of all age, economic and social groups characterize the Thai culture and people. Thai people are tolerant of almost all kinds of behaviour and never expect foreigners to understand the intricacies of Thai social customs. But by following a few simple rules for conduct, and adopting a few Thai ways, you can quickly and easily gain respect from the people in Thailand.
