Greeting with a "Wai"
"Sawosdi" is the Thai word of greeting. It is usually accompanied by a
"wai," which is made by pressing the two palms together. The palms are
then raised at various levels depending on the seniority of the person one is
greeting
The "wai" originated in India, but the Indians keep their "wai" to just
one level. The Thais refined it, resulting in four levels of "wai".
To pay respect to monks, the pressed palms are raised to the forehead,
with the tips of the thumbs resting precisely between the two eyebrows and the
Fingers touching only the tip of the hair.
The middle of the face is where palms rest when we pay respect to our
parents, teachers, and other elderly people we highly regard. The tips of the
thumbs touch the tip of the nose while the tips of the index fingers rest between
the eye brows.
To greet people in general, the palms are lowered to the lower part of
the face, with the tips of the thumbs touching the chin and the tips of the index
fingers touching the tip of the nose.
To greet our equals, there is no need to bow the head, we simply raise the palms
Slightly in front of us.
It is a convention that a greeting must be returned. So we reciprocate with the
pressed palms raised slightly at the level of the chest with a bowed head.
