You may want to rethink your footwear when travelling to Greece. It is illegal to wear high heels at many ancient monuments and archaeological sites in Greece, including the Acropolis of Athens and Parthenon. Introduced in 2009, this law aims to protect delicate, centuries-old marble and stone surfaces from damage caused by the pressure of narrow heels. Do you wear high heels at all?

Stepping on Thai money is illegal because it has the likeness of the Thai royal family on it. Thai currency (Baht) features the image of the Thai King, and stepping on it is considered a sign of disrespect toward the monarchy, which is a criminal offense. If money drops, you should pick it up by hand rather than stopping it with your foot. Defacing any image of the royal family has been against the law since 1908, and it could land you in jail. Have you ever stepped on any money?
