It states in all those books about SE Asia and feet and their positioning in Asian Buddhist culture. Yep. When they get here maybe they forget about what they read and commit a cultural crime, hot pants and crop top in a temple or patting the head of the train passenger in front of them with their feet, yet nobody says anything to them. I'm sure these people assume that what they read in LP is complete BS. Thais just need to grow a pair and say something if they're really are so offended. When I committed a cultural crime in Malaysia I was told instantly, I apologised and didn't do it again. Lesson learnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
invex 61 #229 Posted March 7, 2018 Of course I cannot agree with this young backpackers attitude but please please please, I could start a new topic easily every two minutes just about the THAI bad behavior. I really mean BAD BEHAVIOR. Much worse than this "feet on a seat" thing. Can we start a topic "Bad Thai Behavior" and see what amazing proof will come up?
