三、阅读理解
Thailand is known as the land of smiles. When you spend your holiday in Thailand, you'd better keep in mind these simple tips.
Personal image (形象) is very important in Thailand as a sign of respect for other people. Your clothes should be tidy, clean and free from holes. Shorts and sleeveless (无袖的) shirts are not welcomed in temples. Remember that you will need to take off your shoes when entering rooms. So don't wear shoes that are not easy to get on and off. The rules are even stricter with foreign visitors, so even if you see a local going somewhere in shorts, it may not be OK for you.
It is not polite to touch a Thai on the head, including children. For Thais, the head is the most sacred part of the body. At the same time, don't touch people with your feet, or even point with them because they think feet are the lowest and dirtiest. When sitting on the ground, try to sit in a way that doesn't show others the bottoms of your feet.
Always keep in mind the rules of saving face. Keep your cool even when things go wrong, and you'll be respected for doing so. For example, don't complain when your bus breaks down. Instead, smile and say "mai pen rai".
