What was the biggest lie and hoax you ever read in a book or travel guides about Thailand ?

[THssii]

Many books claim that it's very unpolite to give anything with left hand or to eat with it, but I've sen many times when Thai's use left hand for these actions, but usually only seen it in Bangkok, where the conservative culture values have been changing little by little. Even seen on some Thai talk show where the host used left hand for eating.

And how about , take your shoes of

When you enter a house!

Not put your feeds in the direction of the people when you sit

uuh In my house you will take of your shoes. As you do in most if not all Thai houses.

And it is impolite to point your feet to others. (specially their head)

Visible dirt.

Disgusting isn't it.

I know three people currently receiving treatment for infections, I have known many more over the years experiencing the same thing, All in the same part of the body.

If taking off my shoes is a prerequisite for entering your house, I'll give it a miss thanks, doubt I'd learn anything useful anyway.
