Laos
Dos
Greet each other with a prayer-like gesture called nop
A younger person or people of lower status will nop their elder or social superior.
The western customs of shaking hands has become more common in recent years though a smile and a slight bow of the head is still considered.
Remove shoes when entering temples and somebody’s home.
Don’ts
Back slapping
Public displays on affection
Shouting
Gesticulation
Touching someone’s head
Pointing at people or things with feet
Do you think you can go to Laos?
As the Lao has dos and don’ts in their culture so as the Christians. We have a new culture to develop “Christ Culture” our Identity in Christ

The DON'TS listed are also big No-no's in Thailand. :) Having open expressions of respect for the elders and/or superiors is something we Asians can be proud of.
Good job Stanz.
