Did you "commit" any embarrassing or humorous cultural blunders? If you did and you'd like to share them, please do tell!

It is important to be mindful of cultural norms when visiting Bangkok. It is considered rude to point with your feet, so it is best to avoid doing so. Additionally, it is important to dress modestly and to cover your shoulders and knees when visiting temples and other religious sites. It is also important to be respectful when taking photographs, as some people may not want to be photographed. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and to be respectful of the Thai people and their culture.
