      Cultural Notes

       The wâi

      Thais do not traditionally shake hands when they meet. They make a slight bow with the palms pressed together, called the wâi. When someone gives the wâi to you, you should always return the wâi as a sign of respect. (Buddhist monks do not have to do so as they are considered representatives of the Buddha.) Younger people are expected to initiate the wâi to the elders first. The wâi is not just for greetings or paying respects, it also expresses gratitude and apology.

      To perform the wâi, put the palms together and raise them up. Bend the head to the hands with the tips of the index fingers between the eyebrows and the thumbs placed on the nose. There are three levels of giving wâi, depending on age and social status:

      • For a Buddha image or a Buddhist monk, the thumbs are at the eyebrow level.

      • For parents or an elder or a person of a higher status, the thumbs are at the nose level.

      • For people of the same age or social status, and for returning a wâi, the thumbs are at your chest level and the forefingers touch the tip of the nose.

      When it is intended as a form of greeting or farewell, people would say sà-wàt-dii while performing the wâi.

       Greetings and goodbyes

      Thai people normally say sà-wàt-dii khâ (women) or sà-wàt-dii khráp (men) when greeting or saying goodbye. You can say sà-wàtdii for “hi,” “good morning,” “good afternoon,” or “good evening.”
