Saying Hello in Thailand - To Wai or Not to Wai
Thai culture is complex and there are many subtle rules that govern social interaction. The Wai is a traditional greeting and many guide books about Thailand will advise tourists not to try it because of the a set of complex rules that surround it. This isn't good advice - the Thais are very flattered when people 'make the effort' and this is certainly far easier than trying to learn to speak the language before going on holiday.
