Respect
Respect
Dress respectfully (long trousers, sleeved shirts) when visiting
temples and take your shoes off before entering temple buildings and
private houses.
As with other Buddhist countries, showing the soles of your feet
is very poor manners. Never touch any person on the head. Despite
prevelant cheap alcohol, being drunk is considered disrespectful and a
loss of face.
Things in Laos happen slowly and rarely as scheduled. Keep your
cool, as the natives will find humor in any tourist showing anger. They
will remain calm, and venting your anger will make everybody involved
lose face and is certainly not going to expedite things, particularly if
dealing with government bureaucracy.
Respect for monks is part of Laotian life, and the monks take
their duties seriously. Remember that monks are forbidden to touch
women. Some undertake a vow of silence, and will not answer you even if
they can understand and speak English. It is best not to compel them to
stand next to you for a photograph, or start a conversation, if they
seem reluctant.
