Read the passage and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F). Culturally, in Thailand there are many practicesand beliefs that are very different to those from other countries. The Royal Family of Thailand is held in very high respect. Making impolite remarks about any of the royal family is against the law. The traditional greeting is with two hands prayer-like palms together known as a “wai”. If a local gives a“wai” to you, to be polite, it is nice to "wai” back. A “wai”, however, isalways appreciated. Thai culture places certain spiritual importance to certain parts of the body. You should not point your feet at people, touch people with your feet, propyour feet up on seats or tables or step over people sitting on the ground. The head, in contrast, has a much higher importance. Avoid touching people on the head as this is considered very rule.You should also avoid sittingon pillows meant for head rests. In some rural area, food is often served while seated on the ground. Stepping over food on the ground is another extremely rule gesture and will surely embarrass your Thai host. Throughout all of Thailand, if you notice a pile of shoes at or near an entrance to a home, shop or guesthouse, you should remove your shoes before entry; it is considered rude not to do so.
