What is the polite way to address Thai people? [br]
M:So what kind of things would a visitor to Thailand need to know about? Are there any social customs that are different from a European country?
W:Yes, there are a lot of things that are different. For example, the names, the way you address people is different.
M:How is that?
W:Well, you always call people by the first name, the polite way to address people is by their first name.
M:What, even in a formal situation?
W:Yes, you say "khun"—it’s like "Mr" or "Miss" , or "Mrs".
M:You mean it’ s the same for men and women?
W:Yes, it’ s the same. You say "khun and the first name, and also, when you meet people, you don’t shake hands usually. There’ s a traditional greeting called a "wai".
M:A “wai” ? What’ s that exactly?
W:Well, you put your hands together, like when you pray, and you bow your head forward slightly, and the other person does the same. But it’ s not usually for friends. You needn’t to do it. You just do it for people older than you.
M:I see. And in public are there any things that you find different? Is it true that it’ s not acceptable for a young couple to hold hands in public?
W:Nowadays some of them do, maybe because of the influence of Western society, but it’ s not so common. Another thing that people might find very different is that the head is very important for Thai people—you can’ t touch another person’ s head. You have to respect people. As the head is the most important part, the feet is the lowest part. It’ s rude to point at anything with your feet. And you also can’ t open a door with your foot.
