There are a lot of temples in
and around Hua Hin most if not all allow you to wander a round the
grounds. Please make sure you are properly dress and remember Monks
are not allowed to touch women or visa versa. When entering a building shoes should
be removed. Men can sit crossed legged, women should sit with their
legs to one side and your feet to the rear called the mermaid style.
Soles of feet should not face a Buddha image or another person. Some
other things to remember, don't step over people or food and pillows
designed for sleeping should not be sat on or used as a foot rest.
Showing the soles of your feet or using your feet to point to
something or someone is very rude.
Do not pat a Thai person on the head
unless they are a very close friend, the head is closest to
their god as with the feet are dirty from walking on the ground. There
is no need to panic Thai's are very tolerant when it comes to visitors
and understand that the average tourist does not know all the Thai
customs. A Wai should always be returned, but you do not need to
Wai children back.
