On the Subject of 'Feet'




First of all, feet are considered bad things because they are the lowest part of human's body. Therefore, Thai people will never put their feet up higher than where they should be and will never point them to someone. Doing things like that is concerned very poor manners; for instance, a man sits in a classroom and relaxes his feet up on the table, pointing upwards. In Thailand, if that situation happens, the person will be appearing ignorant to the local customs.


Warning: It is very rude to nudge someone with your feet to get their attention.

Experience: For westerns, it might be usual to put feet up high or put them on the table. But when if I see that, I will think that person lacks of social manners and will lose my impression on him or her.

What's more: When entering people's homes, temples and some shops, it is very important to take off shoes. The soles of the shoes are dirty from picking up dirt on street so you shouldn't wear shoes in a clean place like someone's houses or in a respectful place like temples.
