CUSTOM
THAIS ARE TAUGHT TO CONSIDER CERTAIN PARTS OF THE BODY
AS MORE SACRED THAN OTHERS. THE FEET ARE THE LEAST
SACRED AND IT IS NOT COURTEOUS TO SPRAWL OR
SIT WITH LEGS ELEVATED AND POINTED AT A THAI.
PERHAPS THE GREATEST INSULT THAT A PERSON CAN DIRECT
AT A THAI IS TO POINT HIS FOOT AT A THAI'S HEAD.
