Wai
"Wai" is a traditional Thai gesture of greeting, respect, and gratitude. It involves pressing the palms together in a prayer-like position and bowing slightly. The height of the hands and the depth of the bow can vary depending on the social context and the status of the person being greeted.
This gesture is commonly used in Thailand and is an important part of the country's culture. It is often accompanied by the phrase "Sawasdee," which means "hello." The Wai reflects the values of respect and humility in Thai society, making it a significant aspect of daily interactions.
