7 etiquette tips for visiting Thai temples (Test)

• Dress modestly: cover your shoulders and knees. Many temples lend or rent sarongs at the entrance.
• Take off your shoes before entering the ordination hall or main hall.
• Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk. When sitting, tuck your legs to the side or behind you.
• Women should not touch monks. To give something to a monk, place it on the cloth he lays out.
• Speak quietly, and do not take photos where there are signs saying not to.
• Do not climb or sit on Buddha images or stupas.
• Step over the door threshold, never on it.

Follow these and both Thais and visitors can enjoy temple visits with peace of mind.
