Cultural Insight: Respecting the Body

In Thai culture, the head is considered the most sacred part of the body, while the feet are the lowest. It is important to never touch someone’s head, as it is seen as disrespectful. Conversely, you should always remove your shoes before entering someone’s home to show respect.
