Royalty in Thailand is very important. The current King of Thailand is King Bhumibol. His Majesty and the Royal Family have done many great things for Thailand and Thais respect all Royalty past and present. In conversation, speak courteously of their Majesties and the Royal Family.
Pictures of the Royal Family are treated with respect and are usually hung very high. Do not step on a coin or paper money, as this is disrespectful of the King (His Majesty’s picture is on both). Do not lick the back of a stamp (with a picture of the King) when affixing it to an envelope. Use the sponge and water provided on the post office counter.
Stand at attention whenever the national anthem or royal anthem is played at any public gathering, including the cinema.

“Footprints Recruiting provided me with generous support in securing teaching employment in Taiwan. As a new comer to Taichung, Taiwan, Footprints staff were very accommodating in aiding my transition between Aussie living to Taiwanese living! The organization provided advice and support, and offered a position that suited me. Footprints also helped by providing support with travel/visa logistics, which was a great help. There is enough to think about when packing off to a new country, let alone what happens when you arrive. I was picked up at the airport and taken to a school which has great resources. I am pleased to have worked with Footprints.
