Thais are generally very forgiving by nature, and will rarely show it if you do anything to offend them. However, it’s best to avoid giving offense in the first place by observing some very simple rules regarding the proper behavior for temples and other religious places. Here’s a brief summary of how to behave:
Dress Properly
Bare shoulders and short pants should be avoided. This rule is somewhat flexible depending on the “rank” of the temple and whether you’re a man or a woman. Outside of the big cities you will often see men attending a temple in short pants and tank tops. While marginally acceptable for a man, it is totally unacceptable for a woman. Skirts or pants should be at least cover the knee. In high rank temples such as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, as well as those royal palaces open to the public, you will not be allowed to enter unless you are properly dressed. In most such cases, there will be unisex sarongs available to make you more acceptable.
Watch Where You Point Your Feet
Pointing, in general, is rather impolite. Pointing with your foot is downright rude. Following an old tradition from Hindu times, the head is sacred because it is closest to heaven, so likewise the feet are therefore the most unclean. When sitting or kneeling in a temple building, make sure the soles of your feet are not facing the alter.
Take Off Your Shoes
If your feet are considered unclean, then your shoes are definitely dirty. You must remove your shoes before entering a temple building, or someone’s house for that matter. Failing to do this one little thing is perhaps the most insulting thing you could do to a Thai person.
Do Not Temp the Monks
Being a monk means detaching oneself from all worldly occupations, even (or perhaps especially) sex. Therefore, it’s considered rude for a woman to even attempt to touch or had something to a monk. If a woman must give something to a monk, the typical solution is to place the item on a table where the monk can pick it up. In merit-making situations such as morning offerings a monk will often have a layman helper to take things offered by female merit makers. This “service” is a form of merit making for the layman.
Stay Off the Buddha
Buddha images, no matter how small or old and decrepit, are sacred religious objects and must be treated with the utmost respect. Do not climb on them, sit next to them for a picture or put them on the floor — or anyplace “inferior” to a person.

Joss house(ศาลพระภูมิ-sǎan-prá-puum )
Hand in hand with their Buddhist faith, Thais still hold many animist beliefs. Spirit worship is widely practised and spirit houses can be seen on the corner of most residential and commercial properties. By providing the spirits (good and evil) with shelter, it’s hoped that they will protect houses or buildings from any harm or mischief. To make sure the spirits are kept happy, offerings of incense, fruit, flowers or rice are made every day.
Vocabularies
incense - ธูป (tôop)
fruit – ผลไม้ (pŏn-lá-mái)
flowers – ดอกไม้ (dòk mái)
rice – ข้าว (kâao)

The Most Popular Floating Market
The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is located in Damnoen Saduak District, Ratchaburi Province. It is about 105 kms far from Bangkok. According to history, in 1866, King Rama IV would like to have a 32 kms long canal to be dug at Damnoen Saduak. This canal would connect the Mae Klong River with the Ta-jeen River.
The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a very attractive place for tourists to see the old style and traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables, etc., from small boats. Tourists will also see traditional Thai houses, the way they live and travel by boats, and please try riding on a small boat to experience the floating market and to
see more. This is a worthwhile trip.
The excellent quality soil beside the canal is very fertile and suitable for growing many kinds of fruits and vegetables. The area is famous for Malacca grape, Chinese grapefruit, mangoes, bananas, and coconut.
How To Get There :
Travel from Bangkok via Thonburi-Paktoh Highway to Samut Songkhram Town. Follow the sign to Damnoen Saduak (Highway No.325).
