Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Bangkok, Thailand is a world-famous tourist city. I remember when I was a child, there was an article called "Bangkok Little Elephant", which described a corner of Bangkok in the morning.

In his last life, until he came out to see the world, Yang Dongxu always thought that Bangkok belonged to China, so Bangkok...

Later, when I got out and saw more, I gradually realized that the Bangkok that appeared in the text was the capital of Thailand.

But it is normal for him to have this understanding, because when he was a child, the textbooks he went to school with included only world famous people like Marx and Lenin.

Except for Venice, I don’t seem to remember any textbooks introducing foreign cities. So, except for those cities that appear in textbooks, except for those that look like European and American names, they are all Chinese.

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, also known as the 'City of Angels'. It is an all-encompassing city that combines Eastern and Western cultures. Here you can see the atmosphere of traditional religion.

You can see buildings influenced by Chinese culture and combined with local characteristics, and you can also see various layouts with European and American styles.

"Don't touch children's heads, let alone other people's heads. This is taboo in Thailand." When getting off the plane, Li Fuzhen emphasized the folk taboos here.

In Thailand, the head is noble, except for kings, monks and one's own parents. It is taboo for others to touch it. Even if you see a cute child on the roadside and casually touch the other person's head, it is taboo.

In addition, couples in Thailand are not allowed to engage in intimate actions such as kissing in public places on the street. However, there are some specific beaches where you can sunbathe without clothes. So tradition and openness seem to be extremes.

Of course, some folk customs are not static, such as the intimate actions of couples before. It is still taboo here. In a few years, the tourism here will be more developed and tourists from all over the world will flock to it.

Unless something violates the regulations, other taboos will slowly be changed until no one cares about them.

"You have to take off your shoes when entering the temple. This is the most basic courtesy. Of course, this is not the case at all, if you just walk around the temple.

Instead of entering a temple to worship the Buddha and meet the monks, it is not so strict to take off your shoes or not. But you have to have some impression in this regard and don't make any mistakes." Li Fuzhen continued.

This is actually part of the change in folk customs. In the past, you had to take off your shoes even if you entered the temple. Now it is to take care of tourists.

If you just visit the temple instead of going to a specific room with monks to worship Buddha, you can actually take photos without taking off your shoes.

However, there are rumors that it is unlucky to take pictures of the statues of gods. It is easy to invite the gods home, but it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away. Of course, these are things that you will have if you believe it, but you will not have it if you don't believe it. See how you do it.

Apart from these taboos, this place is almost the same as going to other tourist cities. Just have fun traveling.

For example, Thai massage or something, Yang Dongxu really wanted to try it to see if it was as exaggerated as on TV, making people scream and scream.

In fact, there are Thai massage parlors in China, but I have never had the opportunity to experience them. Because usually he takes a bath, does some orthodox massage to relax his whole body, and then goes to sleep.

I have never tried a bone-rattling massage like Thai massage. This time I come to Thailand, I must experience what an authentic Thai massage is like.

"I heard that Muay Thai here accepts challenges." Du Heng, who was carrying his luggage, couldn't help but said.

He had heard about Muay Thai a long time ago, but just like Yang Dongxu wanted to try Thai massage. He had only heard about it or seen it on TV, but he had never experienced it in person.

Muay Thai, a fighting technique he practiced at the same time, was famous for its ferocity, which made him even more interested.

In fact, not only Du Heng, but also Yang Dongjie felt that in addition to the must-see transvestite performances, Muay Thai boxing competitions are also worth watching when coming to Thailand. Men are always more interested in these exciting things.

"Don't look for trouble." Yang Dongxu glared at Du Heng angrily.

Compared to Yang Dongjie who wanted to watch a Muay Thai match, Du Heng's challenge was undoubtedly much more bloody. Even a simple kickboxing match probably wouldn't be able to satisfy this kid's competitive spirit.

His fighting skills are real, and the ferocity of Muay Thai is not unfounded. If the two collide with each other, the result will be relatively minor.

Of course, Yang Dongxu has confidence in Du Heng's martial arts. Even his father, Du Suo, has said that because Du Heng has better conditions and a better foundation than him, his future achievements may be higher than his.

You must know that Du Suo has now reached the realm of Mr. Xuan and is already a martial arts master. He is even more accomplished than him. This shows how talented Du Heng is in martial arts.

In addition, this guy has experienced more than one life and death battle. Muay Thai fighting is fierce. But compared to Du Heng, who has fought countless times on the verge of life and death, unless those Muay Thai masters are there, no one can really be his opponent.

.

But what if you win in the end? On someone else's territory, you kicked over someone else's job. How do you think about that?

"I'm just telling you that this time I will only travel, and I will try again if I have the chance." Du Heng smiled and scratched his head and started to pretend to be honest.

Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to deal with this guy.

Like many tourist attractions, even if it is a world-famous tourist attraction, whether it is an airport or a bus station, the local residents are so enthusiastic.

I ask you kindly, "Do you want to go here?"

"Where to go or not?"

"Don't go get a room in a hotel."

"Do you need a guide? I know there is an exciting program there."

In short, I find that you have never been so popular, and you are simply the focus of the world.

But Yang Dongxu and others have not experienced this kind of enthusiasm for a long time. Because no matter where they go, they always go through the VIP channel and are directly picked up by a special car. They cannot enjoy the hospitality of local residents.

"There are quite a lot of monks here." Dong Yao couldn't help but said while sitting on the bus, crossing the city to the Xinghai Hotel and looking at the scenery outside the bus window.

"Buddhism has a very high religious status in small countries in Southeast Asia. Therefore, the status of monks in these places has naturally increased. It is said that the royal family here all worship Buddha. This shows the status of Buddhism here.

With a high status, there will naturally be more Buddhist temples, and if there are more Buddhist temples, there will naturally be more monks. In cities in our country, it is difficult to see monks unless you go to temples. But here in the streets and alleys, you can easily see monks giving alms.

Or maybe he's begging for alms." Li Fuzhen explained from the side.

There was no tour guide for the family trip, and Li Fuzhen, who is familiar with major tourist attractions around the world, naturally became the tour guide.

Especially in a popular tourist city like Thailand, she comes here every year to inspect the work, so she is naturally very familiar with the B&Bs and features here.

"Do they believe in the same Buddhism as us? For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha, etc."
