Sin más, paso a contarte algunas cosas que conviene saber antes de
visitar Tailandia. Las he clasificado en positivas y negativas.
1.
1. Se saluda con la palabra “Sawasdee” junto con el gesto de
“wai”. Este gesto es parecido al rezo, con las dos manos juntas
en el pecho. De esta forma, el tailandés muestra
respeto.“Sawasdee” se usa tanto para saludar como para
despedirse
2. La sonrisa. Símbolo del país. Los tailandeses se sonríen
entre ellos con independencia de quién sea, para mostrarse
amistosos.
3. Hay que levantarse cuando suena el himno nacional
tailandés. Suele sonar a las 6 de la tarde especialmente en
lugares como el Saturday market. Los tailandeses dejan todo lo
que están haciendo y se detienen mano en pecho para mostrar
respeto al himno.
4. Incorporarse respetuosamente cuando suena el himno
real, al principio y al final de los espectáculos.
5. Quitarse los zapatos para entrar a una casa y a un templo.
6. Llevar un regalo cuando te invitan a su casa es casi una
norma. El anfitrión por su parte, prepara las bebidas y picoteo
como muestra de su hospitalidad.
7. Al dirigirse a la gente por su nombre, suelen añadir la
palabra Khun al principio,como símbolo de cortesía. Los motes
están reservados para amigos y familiares
8. Al comer, utilizan cuchara y tenedor aunque este último no
se mete en la boca. Y ni el cuchillo, ni los palillos son algo
habitual en la mesa tailandesa.
9. Las personas mayores e importantes son especialmente
respetadas.
10. Y una de las maneras de mostrar ese respeto se traslada a
la mesa, comienzan a comer antes que el resto.
No es adecuado en Tailandia…
Thailand: 20 customs to
know before visiting
When you arrive in a country for the first time, it will be difficult for you
to understand the customs of the country and even know if you are
offending or not. Especially if this country is on the other side of the
world. Sometimes there will be customs that you do not understand but
remember the saying, "the rules of a country are made for those who
inhabit it and not for those who visit it".
The popular saying "where you would do what you saw", usually works
quite well at the time of adaptation. But despite this, there are social
norms that escape knowledge.
It is clear that Thais are especially tolerant of the visitor, so much so
that they assume and even excuse our breach of the rules.
Did you know, for example, that Thailand is a country that was never
conquered? Their neighbors Cambodia and Laos fell into the hands of
the French but the Thais managed to remain independent. They had to
give up, yes, part of their territory to Malaysia and what is now known
as Laos and Cambodia. This fact is part of Thai national pride.
Without further ado, I'll tell you some things that should be known
before visiting Thailand. I have classified them as positive and negative.
1.
1. It is greeted with the word "Sawasdee" along with the
"wai" gesture . This gesture is similar to prayer, with both hands
together in the chest. In this way, the Thai shows respect.
"Sawasdee" is used both to say hello and to say goodbye
2. Smile . Country symbol. The Thai people smile at each
other regardless of who they are, to be friendly.
3. You have to get up when the Thai national anthem
sounds . It usually sounds at 6 o'clock in the afternoon,
especially in places like the Saturday market . The Thais leave
everything they are doing and stop hand in hand to show
respect to the anthem.
4. Incorporate respectfully when the real anthem sounds, at
the beginning and at the end of the shows.
5. Take off your shoes to enter a house and a temple.
6. Carrying a gift when you are invited to your home is
almost a norm . The host, on the other hand, prepares drinks
and snacks as a token of his hospitality.
7. When addressing people by name, they usually add the
word Khun at the beginning, as a symbol of courtesy. The
motes are reserved for friends and family
8. When eating, they use a spoon and fork, although the
latter does not get into their mouths . And neither the knife nor
the chopsticks are common in the Thai table.
9. Older and important people are especially respected.
10. And one of the ways to show that respect is to move to the
table, start eating before the rest.
