DOS and DON´TS in BANGKOK

DOS

  • Remain calm and level-headed in your dealings with your business partners in Thailand!
  • Be open-minded towards your business partners wanting to quickly switch to first-name terms!
  • Respect the King and Buddhism with its associated manners!
  • Get involved in small talk to create a pleasant basic atmosphere!
  • Be patient with contacts in your business dealings! Because all options are carefully examined before a decision is made – and this can take a while.

DON´TS

  • Never touch the head area of your opposite, not even on children! The head is the most valuable part of the body in Buddhism.
  • Your feet should never point to a person, and never towards an image of the Buddha!     In contrast to the head – the feet are associated with the lowest value on the body.
  • Never criticise the King or his family!
  • Avoid vociferous comments and being short tempered in the land of smiles!
  • Don't be too direct, it looks impolite!
