The Wai: Thais will perform a Wai instead of shaking hands when you meet them. It is a very graceful greeting, particularly when a beautiful girl in traditional dress combines the wai with a Thai-style curtsy.
You Wai by placing your palms together and raising your fingertips level with the chest or face. The exact position of the hands depends on the status, relationship, and many other factors, of the person you are greeting. Generally speaking, if a person is senior (either in age, social position, or job) to you, you should raise your hands a little higher; say level with your eyes. Younger people Wai older and senior people first.
If this all sounds complicated, it is. But a good rule of thumb is to "reply to a Wai with a Wai." If someone Wai's you, do the same back. For more information, go to www.ThaiMyWay.com
