What are the taboos for Chinese couples to take wedding photos in Thai temples?

It's a very happy thing to get married. A Chinese couple, tourists and photographers do not respect Thai Buddhism and the ashes of the royal family's first king. They have to learn to respect the cultural customs of other countries at any time, which really disgraces the Chinese people!

On June 30, a tour guide in Chiang Mai, Thailand, told the media that a Chinese couple tourist and photographer did not respect Thailand's Buddhism and the ashes of the royal family's first king. They took wedding photos in three temples in Chiang Mai wa. They chased each other and played with each other, throwing flowers at the pagoda, while the photographer kept taking photos and videos. '

It is reported that the temple has repeatedly set up signs (in Chinese, English and Thai) to remind and warn that it is strictly forbidden to take wedding photos here, and the above-mentioned personnel did not communicate with the temple manager before shooting. To make Thai authorities more angry, the Chinese couple and photographer even asked people to watch the wind to remind them to see if any staff found out and took wedding photos with fluke mentality. After the incident was exposed, many Thai netizens criticized the couple for their ignorance, which was really inappropriate and disrespected the Buddhist pagoda, the remains of the first king.

What are the precautions for going to temples in Thailand?

Temples are recognized as sacred places by Thais. Please dress properly and modestly when entering Buddhist temples. You are not allowed to enter any short skirts, shorts or topless clothes. When entering a Buddhist hall, a Muslim temple or a private house, tourists need to take off their shoes and pay attention not to step on the threshold.

Before visiting the Buddhist temple, check your clothes first. It is forbidden for those who are topless, wearing shorts and vests, or even those whose shirts are not tucked into their pants or whose sleeves are rolled on their arms. Tourists need to take off their shoes before entering the Buddha Hall. Otherwise, they will be regarded as contaminating the Buddha Hall. If tourists make reckless actions towards temples, statues and monks, they will be regarded as a crime. Take special care when photographing Buddha statues. Never climb on them.

Don't touch the Buddha, don't climb any Buddha inside or outside the temple. Respect all Buddhas, big and small. Don't put the Buddha in your trouser bag.

It is believed that the contact of the lower part of the body with the Buddha is a blasphemy to the Buddha. You can't finger monks, you can't touch monks. In particular, women are not allowed to shake hands with monks and sit next to monks in cars. Even monks who come to greet them (often met by foreign women) should politely keep their distance.

If a woman wants to give something to a monk, she should ask a man to give it to her. If she wants to give it by herself, the monk will open a yellow robe or towel to take on what she has handed in. In the process, the monk is not allowed to touch the woman.

When meeting women, men should also be careful not to touch their bodies. (this article is exclusively compiled by WYH, editor of sihai.com. If you need to reprint it, please indicate the source and source. Related article link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/lvyou.html)

When you meet a monk who is begging for alms, you must not send cash, because this is an act of breaking the monks' commandments.

Before taking pictures of monks, they should ask for permission first, and then they should politely express their thanks.

Some of the laws are about the protection of religions. These laws not only refer to Buddhism, but also other faiths in China. People who don't understand religious taboos, even if they don't insult religion intentionally, will cause others' antipathy. In the mosque, men should wear hats, women should wear trousers or skirts, and their hair should be wrapped with a scarf. Take off your shoes when you enter the mosque.
