Cultural Awareness Education – Because of Precedents!

I’ve got another Funny Travel Photo from Michael Hodson of Go See Write.com.

It’s of a sign outlining the dress standards required to enter one of the Temples in Thailand.

That’s right, the proper advice on how to dress appropriately so you’re not offending the local culture.

I love how the phrase ‘Don’t Go Shirtless, or in shorts, hot pants, or other unsuitable attire inside the temple’ needed to be pointed out!

That’s gold! And I love the depiction of the ignorant travellers in the picture!

And the only reason this sign was made up, is because something like the above picture has happened before!

A bit like the warning sign at the Vancouver Winter Olympics site and the Love Scenes Forbidden sign in Costa Rica!

I always love the signs in Thailand, and this one is no exception. It gets the point across and entertains as well, unless you resemble the people in the picture!
