Bedeutung
Maintaining hygiene.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Thai students are often responsible for cleaning their own classrooms at the end of the day. 'รักษาความสะอาด' is a daily mantra taught by teachers to foster collective responsibility. In Buddhist temples (Wats), cleanliness is next to godliness. Visitors are expected to 'รักษาความสะอาด' as a form of 'Tham Bun' (making merit). The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) frequently uses the slogan 'ตาสับปะรด' (Pineapple eyes) alongside 'รักษาความสะอาด' to encourage citizens to watch out for litterbugs. During the pandemic, the phrase was integrated into the 'New Normal' lifestyle, appearing in every shop and mall entrance alongside hand sanitizer stations.
