First, let's look at the safety instructions.
1. Consult and check the surrounding environment of the school.
It is a very good choice to consult the students at school, and the seniors will give you the real answer. You can also check the situation around the school through online search. You can go to school by yourself if you have the conditions.
2. Attend the orientation meeting for freshmen
Bangkok university has arranged pre-school education and training for freshmen, and parents can also participate. This activity can not only help students and parents quickly understand the university system and curriculum arrangement, but also include exchange guidance and matters needing attention related to university life in Thailand.
keep in touch
When you arrive in Thailand, you should tell your relatives and friends (including roommates, friends, etc.) and accommodation address in time and keep in touch with the teachers in Thailand management center.
4. Carefully rent a house and carefully choose a co-tenant.
For freshmen who have just arrived in Thailand, if they want to rent a house instead of living in a remote place, it is recommended to choose an apartment around the school. The apartments provided by Thailand Management Center are all apartments with good safety facilities and environmental facilities around the school. Understand the terms of the contract in detail, carefully choose the co-tenant, and communicate relevant matters before sharing.
5. Be careful when making friends
When you first arrive in a strange environment, try not to reveal too much personal information in the process of making friends, have a sense of self-protection, and do not drink, take drugs or gamble.
6. Understand local laws, cultural customs and even religious beliefs.
Thailand believes in Buddhism, and many people have a peaceful mind and a high national happiness index.
7. Pay attention to safety when traveling
Understand the basic traffic rules in Thailand and be careful when crossing the road. In Thailand, cars drive on the left.
8. No hitchhiking
Single girls should not try to hitchhike, the safety factor is very low. Try not to go home late, and don't go to remote places alone.
9. Copy passport backup
Take a copy of your passport with you when you go out. If you lose your passport, you must report the loss and reissue it in time.
10. Please remember the alarm in Thailand.
When personal safety and personal legal property are threatened or lost, you should seek police assistance in time. In case of emergency, please call the following number for help:
Thailand alarm number: 19 1.
Consular protection telephone number of China Embassy in Thailand: 085483327 (mobile phone is on duty 24 hours a day), 0224570 10 (9: 00- 17: 00 on weekdays).
Then let's take a look at what life taboos we need to pay attention to when studying abroad.
1. The head is sacred and inviolable (you can't touch the head).
Don't touch other people's heads casually, and children should try not to, because Thai people think heads are the most sacred. When one person passes something to another, never go over the head of others.
Only kings, monks or parents are allowed to touch a child's head. The hairdresser must say "I'm sorry" before starting a haircut. When you pass something to others, never go over others' heads. This is a sign of aggression.
2. Thais eat with their right hands.
Thais eat with their right hands, and they also use their right hands when handing things to others as a sign of respect. If you have to use your left hand, you should say "left hand, please forgive me" first. Don't point at others with your hands (especially your fingers), use your chin. When calling someone, straighten your arms, palm down and move your fingers up and down. Don't twist your fingers, don't clap your hands, don't shout. Killing animals is forbidden on the Buddha's birthday, so killing pigs and chickens must be completed the day before. Fighting, gambling and marriage, such as horse racing and boxing, are also prohibited on major Buddha's Birthday. Thais believe that people's left hand is unclean and can only be used to take some unclean things, so holding important things with their left hand will attract resentment.
Satisfy etiquette
When Thai people meet, they should cross their hands on their chests to say hello. The method is to put your palms together on your chest. This is a greeting ceremony, equivalent to a handshake in the west. The higher the palm of your hand, the deeper the respect. Ordinary people should put their hands above their heads when they see the king. Young people should raise their hands to their foreheads when they meet their elders. Equal people should put their hands under their noses when they meet. The elder should return the gift to the younger generation, hold it to his chest, and keep his hands not higher than his chest. People of lower status or younger age should pay their respects first.
Put your hands together and say "Sawadee" in your mouth, which is a kind of respect for others.
4. Don't speak ill of the royal family
The Thai people's impression of the royal family is mythical and inviolable, and the King of Thailand is the ruler of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. We ordinary people should not make fun of the royal family, the consequences will be very serious.
Remember, remember, remember this.
Don't violate the rules when entering the temple.
Almost all Thais believe in Buddhism. Many people will go to worship Buddha or visit temples during any trip to Thailand, whether traveling with a group or alone. If you go, you must obey the rules. Girls should not wear sleeveless skirts, and men should not be too sloppy and disheveled.
6. Be polite when you meet a monk
90% people in Thailand believe in Buddhism, and every man has become a monk twice in his life. So on the streets of Thailand, we often meet Thai monks. Thailand respects Buddhism, and tourists should be polite to monks and respect every Buddha statue; Ladies should pay special attention to avoid meeting monks, who are particularly concerned about this matter. If a monk is accidentally touched by a woman while reciting a large volume of scriptures, he will give up all his previous efforts and have to start all over again.
We should also show equal respect to the Buddha statues in all parts of Thailand, regardless of their size, old and new. It is essential to visit temples when traveling in Thailand. The most famous tourist attractions in Thailand, such as Jade Buddha Temple, Golden Buddha Temple and Wangzheng Temple, are all related to temples.
7. Make a wish to return to God
Thailand is a Buddhist country, and more than 90% people believe in Buddhism. There are many temples in Thailand, such as the famous "Four-faced Buddha" in Bangkok, because you have to make a wish in Thailand.
8. Avoid brown.
Thais prefer red and yellow to brown. However, they don't need to sign in red pen, because after death, Thais will write their surnames on coffins in red pen. In addition, brown is also their taboo color. They are used to using colors to indicate different dates: Sunday is red, Monday is yellow, Tuesday is pink, Wednesday is green, Thursday is orange, Friday is light blue and Saturday is purple. People often wear different colors according to different dates.
9. Don't be too intimate.
Thai men and women pay attention to giving and receiving, and even when dancing in public, they can touch their bodies. Dogs are taboo patterns in Thailand. Issues to avoid talking about: politics, corruption, royalty. Even among friends, they don't like to talk about personal problems. If you have offended others, smile, apologize by saying "I'm sorry" and put your hands together. Take off your shoes before entering the Thai house. Don't step on the threshold. If the host sits on the floor, the guest should do the same. Don't cross your legs, bend your legs under your body and don't show your feet. It is best to choose packaged food, candy, etc. as gifts for Thai people. Give them to the recipient with your right hand.
Traditionally, Thais have deep respect for members of the royal family. Tourists should respect Tai Huang, Empress Dowager Cixi and their children. For example, every morning at 08: 00 and evening at 18: 00, when the national anthem is played in public places, you should stand. If you attend a public place with members of the royal family, the best way is to observe and imitate the etiquette of the people present.
Thailand's laws have many chapters on religious violations, including Buddhism and other faiths with the largest number of followers. All Buddha statues, big or small, intact or broken, are sacred. Please don't climb the Buddha The general requirement is not to "disrespect" the Buddha statue. Dress neatly when visiting Buddhist temples-don't be topless or wear shorts or sleeveless shirts. You shouldn't wear shoes to enter the temple hall where the Buddha statue is enshrined. Please take off your shoes at will. The floors of temple halls are generally clean. Buddhist monks are forbidden to contact with ladies. If you want to give something to a monk, you should first give it to a man to do it for him. A long-sleeved coat is buttoned to the neck and covered with a towel.
10. Garbage
Don't litter everywhere, especially in the street, even a small cigarette end and a small toothpick, otherwise violators will be fined and the garbage will be put back in the original packaging bag.
