Avoid Putting Feet on the Table
As mentioned earlier, feet hold significant cultural and spiritual importance in Thailand as they are considered the lowest part of the body. As a result, it is highly advisable to refrain from placing your feet on surfaces like tables or seats. Revealing the sole of your feet to others is considered extremely disrespectful in Thai culture.
To show proper respect, always keep your feet flat on the ground, even when crossing your legs, as this can unintentionally display the sole of your feet to others. While locals may understand and overlook such behaviors from tourists, it is essential to be mindful and respectful of how Thai people perceive feet in their culture.
