Thailandais are particularly accessible, smiling and available. Don't hesitate to engage the conversation with them, by using all yours ressources : few Thai words (that will be pleasure for them), concepts of english, smile... They will be always attentive and patient (Attention you are not safe if any Thai in a bad mood, but it's rare).

Smile is a integral part of their life. In majority Thailandias seems to be happy (they hide their depression very well). It is a tic of which they are never stripped, even in the task more harrassing and under a crushing heat. It is infectious, their children cry very seldom. Even as a tourist, you are not safe from this smile which you will be able to find a little denied, on your vacation photographs.

- you can't circulate in Buddhists temple in your shoes.

Briefly withdraw their shoes.
