Thailand Temple Etiquette Submitted by M20947 on 2011-05-23 Visitors to Thai temples (wats) may find the atmosphere surprisingly relaxed as they often serve as local community centers. Within the temple grounds children can sometimes be seen playing games of football or ... view more basketball and monks may engage you in conversation. However, there are some important things to note before visiting any wat, particularly before entering the hall where the main Buddha image is housed: • Always take off your shoes and hat before entering a temple. • It’s bad manners (and bad luck) to step on the raised threshold of a doorway. Always step over it. • Do not point at anything with your feet or step on money (as it has the King’s image on it). • Inside the wat, do not sit with your legs outstretched in front of you, as then you would be pointing the bottoms of your feet at the Buddha image or monks. Sit like the locals, with your legs tucked back to the side, or cross-legged. • Dress politely. Shoulders must be covered. Long shorts are acceptable in most temples; however, in the Grand Palace you must wear long pants or skirts. • Bear in mind that local people are not at the temple to provide you with photo opportunities. If you do take photos, take them discretely and respectfully. • Leaving a small donation in the collection boxes will go towards the upkeep of the temple and earns merit for the donor! • All Buddha images are sacred no matter how big or small or what state of disrepair they may be in. Treat them respectfully - no touching or climbing. • The Bo tree is sacred because the Buddha achieved enlightenment whilst sitting under a Bo tree. It is easy to recognize by its large size and sprawling branches. The tree trunk may be wrapped in a saffron robe. Do not touch or climb these sacred trees. Do, however, enjoy a rest on the benches under the Bo trees and contemplate what you have learned and experienced during your visit!
