RE: Culture Shock in Rural Thailand
Very interesting read. Touching the head definitely seems demeaning and could be interpreted as condescending but the soles of the feet being offensive is a shock!
As long as they realize you are a tourist and give you time to learn their customs and ways it is an amazing learning experience; which is probably what helped you enjoy your time! Great post!
Thanks for the reply. These were little 5/6 yr olds. In my culture it’s fine for ppl that age, but maybe more awkward the older people are.
