| Culture-Behaviour Greet politely the right way If you have lived in Thailand for a long time, you understand and appreciate the fantastic friendly treatment you receive from the Thais. Everywhere you meet smiles, politeness, helpfulness and harmony. As a new person, you can make daily life easy for yourself by learning to greet the right way, it usually gives a direct response with even more kindness in return. As a man/woman, you say "hello" - "Sawadee krap/kah" and "thank you" - "Khab khun krap/kah", at the same time bowing slightly, looking down with your hands together, fingers pointing upwards in front of your chest at a height just below the chin (the so-called XXX gesture). When this is natural - you will receive even better treatment - and be infected by the peace of mind here. | Tue Jan 28 18:22 (id: 662) |
