10 Popular things are in shocked cultures, but it is norms in Thailand.

TW/CW: Mentioned to blood, depiction of massacre, and long post.

Knock-knock~~!

Hi, everyone! It's so long time to I did write long post with my experience about my country that is very norm and weird in meantime. But for foreigners who is visited to Thailand for their first time that is very shocked with our culture. LOL.

Ok, everyone! I'll tell you something about those popular culture shocked in Thailand, which you should know when you come visit to Thailand in your first timely.

The spirit house (In Thai called "ศาลพระภูมิ (San Phrabhumi)") is a small shrine for sanctuary of laid spirits or tutelary spirit that called by Brahmins or shamans who highly experienced in using conjuring and invocation practice. They are created it for protection their house, habitation, accommodation, or own land. It is very norms in Thai culture, but if you see the spirit house what ruined on roadside or abandoned place. Please avoid it, if you can. And reason many people are always worshiping them with offering by red soft drink. They are believed that red is color of powerful, heat and courage. (It seems like Chinese belief.) But in fact, worshiping by offering with red soft drink is origin from worshiping with offered by blood by animism which it did before Buddhism and Indian culture had been influence in Southeast Asia. Then, after Buddhism and Indian culture had influenced in Southeast Asia. Worshipping with offered by blood restricted for Brahmins, shamans, necromancers, or someone who use black magic practice. However, now. They are popular worshipping with offer by red soft drink instead of blood, because it is safer than worshiping by offering with blood. Also, red soft drink is very easy to find where to buy which rate is cheap and it is safe too.

2. Don't pick up something from natural places, historical sites, archaeological sites, or a place of worship such as temple¹, church, mosque, etc. Because it maybe brings curse spell put on yourself and it does illegal too. And also, many people are not pick up anybody who strange people up on their car or vehicle, if it has not necessity too.

3. Keep be a quiet, if you hear or noticed something is weird or someone who called you while you are staying at your house, or your accommodation in the night. Because, if you did scream or reply. You maybe get unfortunate to yourself. The belief which from urban legend that said, creating a city pillar with tutelary spirit by they will be buried alive humans somebody names are "อิน (In), จัน (Chan), มั่น (Man), คง (Khong)". Thus, people who are own those names. They would keep quiet up. Indeed, in the past, it existed many burglars at night. It makes to help you have more awareness and for mute them for unknow from your position in the darkness, and also, while you are travelling then you see something is weird thing on roadside. Please keep your doubt up when you arrived at your home which your country or ignore it.

4. When you wanna itinerary for high season, you should be check about date and time before to do booking a hotel or accommodation. Because if you do travel in high season without, check it before do booking. you have to get over it, which is a hotel or accommodation is full. But if you see somewhere is an available room or a floor is abandoned, it is to be very ok, if you can avoid it. If you can't do it, you should be do pray owner or guest who are not human. In addition, you should do cleansing on yourself when you back to arrive at your house or your accommodation or your home (Your country).

5. You should do pray for landlord² with respectful. Reason is many Thai people believed anywhere have landlord who tutelary is a deity or a spirit who is a guardian, patron or protector of special area. So, you should educate about how worshiping or praying for them. Because their habit is different, then, when you do pray them correctly. They will protect you and bless you, also, you should thank you them before you will back your home or your country.

6. If you see brocades tied around on the tree, you should know that maybe exist nymph is haunted. (In Thai called as "นางไม้ (Nang Mai)") She is haunted in that tree. And somebody who is lucky which lottery by her, so, they did always worship back to her for thankful.

7. Many people usually are praying and worshiping with their vehicles before they will leave their home. It is very norm for someone who is driver, pilot, or fishmen. Their reason is believing that is the spirit or deity who guarding their vehicle, she is a goddess or woman deity. Her name is "แม่ย่านาง (Mae Ya Nang)" She is a goddess or woman deity who protects their vehicles and travelers by bless to them for safety, her worshiping is not only in Thailand, but also in Lao and Cambodia too. It is assumed that the goddess maybe origin from Chinese goddess who sea deity name is "Mazu (Traditional Chinese: 媽祖 and Simplified Chinese: 妈祖)". Which is assumed from Chinese voyage where came in Ayutthaya in Ayutthaya Kingdom era.

8. Many Thai people mostly to do these daily routines are take a shower and wash their face in morning or evening, they always do take off their shoes and wash their feet when before to come their home or go to bed at night. Because they believed it is cleansing and protected from negative energy or bad spirit that is hidden. Indeed, Thailand is tropical. Thus, weather in Thailand is almost of hot and warm. In addition, it can help to take away from dirty by muds, soil and deodorize too.

9. While you are waiting your meal order in restaurant then you see many tables have sauces and seasonings, it is very norms in Thai cuisine. So, you can put it in your meals what you want your flavor. And also, you can see mostly beverages are always serving with ice basket or put ice in your drinking for cool off and freshly. However, you can drink it purely by without ice too.

10. In Thailand, these are many variously stories, beliefs, or urban legends are different by depending on their geographical regions. I will give a few examples, such as in north belief that if you see the red flag on roadside, that is death symbol. Or in south belief that they will not be popular to plant a wild banana tree closed to their house, because it maybe nymph³ is haunted. (In Thai called nymph who is haunted in a wild banana tree as "นางตานี (Nang Tani)") However, it has seemed similar such as north, northeast, central, west, or south are believed that if you see the barn owl or the Asian barred owlet is on your roof. It is ominous, you have to do get it out.

Indeed, it has a lot of stories to tell you and everyone who read it on my blog. But I chose these top 10 topics, in my reason is it is the most popular culture that I saw many foreigners who is in Thailand. And from my friend who has visited in Thailand too. They were very shocked when just see these things in their first time. Thus, I just wanna share my opinion that I get it from my experience, doing research and a little idea about it.

However, you can always visit my country every day, if you are interested! I hope, you will enjoy this!

Notes:

Temple¹ in Thai is meaning "วัด (Wat)" which called as Buddhist place in Thailand, but I just noticed that in English that "Temple" is not only called temple in Buddhist place, but it can also call in Hindu place in Thai called "เทวาลัย (Devalaya)", or "มณเฑียร (Mandir)" (In English called "Hindu Temple", In Hindi called "Mandir", but in Kannada called "Devasthana", in Tamil called "Kovil"), Jain place in Thai called "วัดเชน (Wat Jain)", or "เชนสถาน (Jain Sathan)" (In English aka. Jain Temple, in Gujarati called "Derasar", or in Kannada called "Basadi"), and ancient religions such as ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek, or Mesopotamian too. (You can read more about temple on Wikipedia) Landlord² in here as English as known as "tutelary spirit", in Thai is meaning "ผีเจ้าที่ (Phee Chao tee)". Nymph³ in Thai is meaning "นางไม้ (NangMai)" which spirit is haunted in tree. In Thai language, they will call nymphs followed with name of trees. They will say "Nang (นาง)..." followed with name of trees, such as "นางตะเคียน (Nang Ta Khain)". She is nymph who haunted an Ironwood tree (Hopea odorata), or "นางตานี (Nang Tani)". She is nymph who haunted a wild banana tree (Musa balbisiana). But in my opinion to translation for the spirit of tree in Thai language is "Nymph", my reason is, it is approximate to her image appearance is similar as nymph's image appearance in western. But they are different as nymphs in west are often not wearing any clothes but nymphs in Thailand are usually wearing traditional clothes, however, they are same as they are appeared to as women.

I am SO happy to have an official Philippines Hetalia after fighting in the trenches of DeviantArt for so long 😭💖 explanation + bonus under the cut!!

Time for a short Filipino lesson: We have a specific type of English. It's called "Taglish", a portmanteau of "Tagalog" (a major dialect) and "English". It's usually considered super mega cringe and not kek and based to talk in Taglish here, but we still do it anyway. The text translates to "Nesia!! Yong Soo and Alfred are inviting us to B*C (place) later. Are you game?". The term "carps" is derived from the English word "carpet", because the phrase "are you game" can be typed out as "r u g?". "Are you game" basically means "Do you want to do x?". And basically: Rug = carpet. This shitpost is funny because I am making fun of fuckbois who talk like this. You're welcome :))))))

Here is the bonus as promised! <3
