Instructions issued for Thai visitors viewing cherry blossoms in Japan

BANGKOK: -- The Thai embassy has issued instructions for Thai tourists visiting Japan on how to enjoy and view the cherry blossoms or Sakura flowers in a proper way as the blossom season starts.

The instructions of “Dos and Don’ts” posted on the embassy’s Facebook, are aimed at helping Thai visitors enjoy the charm and beauty of the cherry blossoms in the way that respect the Japanese customs and traditions.

It said a large number of Thai tourists are expected to visit Japan during the cherry blossom season which starts this month.

This will help to bolster the image of Thai tourists in the eyes of the Japanese people, it said.

The code of behaviours and politeness are;

1. Don’t pick or hold the cherry tree branches
2. Don’t occupy unnecessary large space under blooming trees but only suitable size that fits the number of visitors and at permitted areas.
3. Lay sitting sheets a few metres away from tree roots to avoid hurting the trees.
4. Don’t consume too much alcoholic drinks.
5. Avoid making loud noises that could annoy other visitors in adjacent areas.
6. Don’t litter the place but separate and discard rubbish at arranged places.
