The Thai Wai

EP. 20 The Thai Wai 🙏🇹🇭

Have you ever wondered why Thai people put their hands together and bow their heads when greeting someone?

The ไหว้ (wai) is an important part of Thai culture. It can express respect, gratitude, politeness and apology, with different ways of waiing depending on the person and situation.

In this episode, we explore what the wai means, where it fits into everyday Thai life, how to do it correctly, and the cultural etiquette behind this familiar Thai gesture.

Because to understand the wai, you need to understand more than just the hand movement. You need to understand the culture behind it.
