The more you treat them with disdain and contempt the more they respect you. Show someone beneath you some courtesy and respect and they'll think you a fool. What a load of tosh. It's obviously that's ''you'' think and see from your actions but it's entirely ''what'' your thinking, and they actually think your a moron behind their smile.

Methinks this bloke is just a wind up merchant - surely no one can really be this arrogant/stupid? #53

Oh no......   Oh no here we go again.....OP....please use the search function...there must be thousands of threads on this subject on TV... when this question, along with questions on Sin Sot come up....every Thai wannabee jumps on the bandwagon trying to show how at one with their Thainess they are.... It`s a forum, not a search engine. Nobody forced you to take part in the topic. #56

With all due respect (due to the number of your posts I assume you've been here a lot longer than me) - my experience is that red1 is generally right. Most of those to whom I've been (too) generous have 'buggered off' soon after! As for 'wai'ing' - you'd have to live here for god knows how many years to understand the intricacies - far easier just to give a respectful bow to those that wai you. Unless of course its an old person - they will assume you are ignorant and dis-respectful if you do not wai. #58

Wai don't they shake my hand ? Many Thais, including kids, like to shake hands. I think it's a novelty for them. #59

But ''l'' do understand the intricacies in LOS, easy really, same as l know what to do in farang land with a serviette (napkin) or a full dinning table cutlery service or the difference between a male or female hand shake, it's the same in farang land as here, folk who want to understand stuff take time to learn it. It was called being a Gentleman/Lady where l come from and am happy to say l can sit, talk or greet any one, be it Royalty, work personnel, dustman or your mum,

Soutpeel- I apologize for inconviencing your world by asking a question on TV that has been answered before. The 3 different search terms I typed in must not have hit home to the elusive and well written ThaiVisa.com algorithms that guide the well known and established thaivisa search engine. For this, I am truly and utterly apologetic. To offend the good nature and senses of someone like yourself is beyond comprehension for a peasant such as myself. Next time everbody. I wil make sure to type in 5 different search terms,... Edited by FiscalFizz, 2012-02-05 21:53:40. #62

I usually wai first when I am introduced to a person older than myself, I was told this is polite and shows respect to an elder, I also wai to a person I am introduced to or meet who is in a position of authority, I will return a wai when someone gives me a wai, I have found a wave to be acceptable to those who know me, except when they are in the company of a person I don't know. I never give a nod in return for a wai, I think that would be like refusing to return a handshake.

Posted with Thaivisa App http://apps.thaivisa.com When I came here as a tourist a cashier in Tesco or somewhere 'wai'd' me and I 'wai'd in return. My brother, who had lived here for a few years, explained that it only made me look stupid. He was right. But, I have found that bowing my head respectfully works in all situations as the Thais understand that we know nothing about wai'ing, but the bowed head shows respect. #69

Yes, the Tesco girls always wai to us as respect and realizes we are older than her so must do.  And yes, you do not wai back, a simple smile and sawadi krup is good. #70

Seeing how many people leave the restrooms without washing their hands, I'm actually quite hapy to wai.
