Another thing foreigners like to keep to themselves is the area around their bodies.Think of an invisible wall all around the body, going out maybe ten, sometime twenty centimeters.

Personal space is the area around the body.They will not want anybody else to get too close.If you do,they may start to feel uncomfortable.
In Thailand, it is the custom that a man can stand very close to a friend who is a man, and a woman can stand very close to a woman.They can hold hands,or even put their arms around each other.However,if you do this to foreigners,they will probably feel unhappy.they will try to move away from you, or may ask not to
