Wai- McDonald's in Bangkok - This is a photo of Mc Donald's in Bangkok in wai position. Here in Thailand everyone wais (Thailand's traditional way of greeting... hands on chest and lips). with the phrase.. 'Sawat dii kha' for female speaker and 'Sawat dii khrap' for male speaker. This means...Hello... so, it will be rude if I will not return greetings. I don't like them to think that Filipinos are rude people. This is very traditional and very accustom to them.. just doing the favor in return.
