Thai Temple Etiquette: Take Off Shoes
Please take off your shoes before entering the inside of a Thai temple.
It is considered very rude and disrespectful if you enter the inside of a temple with your shoes on.
That’s why before entering you should just leave them on the stairs.
You can see in the picture how the shoes are just left behind when entering the temple.
Sometimes there is also a shelf in front of the temple where you can put your shoes.
People pray on the ground in these temples and since it is a place of prayer and reverence for people it should be respected.
