🇹🇭 Thai Culture! Why do Thai people press their hands together like this? 🙏🏻This is called a “Wai” (ไหว้)! 👉 It’s more than just “hello” — it shows: -Respect -Politeness -Gratitude 📍 When do we use the Wai? ✔️ Saying hello / goodbye ✔️ Saying thank you or sorry ✔️ Showing respect to elders, teachers, or bosses ✔️ Greeting monks 🙏🏻 💡 Important rules: 1.The HIGHER your hands, the MORE respect you show 2.Younger people usually wai first 3.You DON’T need to wai: -Young children 👶 -Service staff (they usually wai YOU first) ⚠️ Common mistake:Foreigners sometimes wai EVERYONE 😅→ It’s polite, but not always necessary! ✨ Easy phrase to try:“สวัสดีครับ/ค่ะ” (sà-wàt-dee khráp/khâ) + Wai 🙏🏻 🙏🏻Have you ever used the Wai in Thailand?
