Perception of Thailand before I embarked on my research

I see Thailand as a country with rich culture and tradition. I had done projects and research on Thailand before and found out that they have very rich culture and tradition. For instance, they do a ‘Wai’ when they greet people. It is their form of traditional greeting and varies with the social status of people.

Besides, I heard that the Thais do not like people touching the crown of their head because they believe that it is the sacred part and it is never good to show the sole of your feet to any Thais. This is because they believe that the feet are the filthiest body part. I believe there are more to the traditions and cultures of Thailand.
