[Country] Thailand [Topics and behaviour to avoid] It is considered rude to look directly at someone for more than a few seconds. Don’t point your foot at someone (especially their head!). Don’t pat students on the head (in Thai culture this is where the spirits live). If teaching children, don’t crouch down beside them with your head lower than theirs. Don’t discuss or criticize the monarchy. Avoid talking about national security.
Be careful not to mix up the history or culture of Asian countries or assume that things are the same in all of them. Teachers are expected to dress conservatively. This usually involves wearing a necktie.
