Thai Culture & Custom
The Culture of Thailand incorporates a great deal of influence from India, China, Cambodia and the rest of Southeast Asia. It is influenced primarily by Buddhism, as well as by the large scale immigration from China, and to a lesser extent, from India. Thai Customs - One of the most distinctive Thai customs is the Wai, which is similar to the Indian Namaste gesture. Showing greeting, farewell, or acknowledgment, it comes in several forms reflecting the relative status of those involved, but generally it involves a prayer-like gesture with the hands and a bow of the head. Usually, the wai gesture is performed at the level of the person’s heart to represent that the presentation of respect is from the person’s heart.
