This difference between Thai greeting and westernize isn\u2019t only words but also the posture which we call \u2018\u2019Wai\u2019\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For greeting, Thai people say \u2018\u2019Sawadee\u2019\u2019 and simultaneously put their hands together at the breast position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the one we are greeting is the same age or younger, it\u2019s absolutely okay just to say \u2018\u2019Sawadee\u2019\u2019 (no posture, but bend a little bit forward). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If that person is an elder, then we will make a full posture in order to pay respect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To say Sawadee to an older person without Wai posture is considered unrespect, please pay attention to this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To say hello or Sawadee in Thailand, the word at the end is different between males and females. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For a male, he would say \u00a0\u2018\u2019Sawadee Krab\u2019\u2019 and for a \u00a0Female \u2018\u2019Sawadee Kha\u2019\u2019. Don\u2019t ask me why that, we used to say this many decades ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now you might recognize that you have often heard the words \u2018\u2019Krab\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019Ka\u2019\u2019 at the end in another sentence as well, not only after\u2018\u2019 Sawadee\u2019\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yes, we usually say \u2018\u2019Krab\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019Kha\u2019\u2019 at the end of every sentence. Without saying \u2018\u2019Krab\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2019Ka\u2019\u2019 at the end of a sentence, the grammar is still correct,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> but it just shows that he or she is not interested in the person he or she is talking to and it can be considered as unpolite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even in the company office, when we write an email or even message WhatsApp to our colleagues or boss in English. We sometimes add \u2018\u2019Krab\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> and \u2018\u2019Ka\u2019\u2019 at the end of that message in English to pay respect to the person we are writing to.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1970170960\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-256326619\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Conversation example\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-256326619 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 19px 6px 4px 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-1970170960 > .col > .col-inner {\n  background-color: rgb(142, 209, 252);\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example: WhatsApp chat in English:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">John: I will go to the supermarket krab, would you need something there?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ellen: I would have a bottle of milk <strong>kha<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">John: Normal mike or low-fat <strong>krab<\/strong>?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ellen: A normal one is fine, I will need it for coffee <strong>kha<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">John: Understood <strong>krab<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I would recommend you practice this ending word when coming to Thailand. We as Thai see a tourist \u2018\u2019 Farang\u201d saying Krab or Kha is very lovely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We tend to be helpful to this kind of tourist or give more service than usual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is a little but powerful word that makes the listener feel good and makes the speaker look lovely at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is a win-win word. Actually,h the word kha is 2 melodies that will be used in different sentient structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The high-ton Kha and the low-ton Kha. The high ton &#8211; Kha used to be added at the end of a questioning sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While the low-ton Kha is added at the end of a telling or answer sentence. But both tons of words have the same writing farm in English.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, you always write \u2018\u2019Kha\u2019\u2019 no matter if it is a questioning sentence or a telling sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sometimes we do not make a posture while saying Sawadee to the older person when our hands are carrying huge things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this case, It is very ok. But if the thing you are carrying is a small one like your cell phone, book, or pencil, then it is not okay if you do not make a posture to an older one. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even though there is prohibited stuff that you seriously have to put down before you make a posture. It is shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To make a posture while having shoes in hand is extremely not acceptable. \u00a0So make sure you are not carrying shoes before making a posture If you want friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Besides hello or Sawadee, we make the posture while saying a serious apology. When you do something wrong and want to be excused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then Wai or the posture is the catalyst to become easier excused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, if the mistake is small, you should not make a posture. It seems to be an overacting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Like you call a person his wrong name and buy him a postcard to apologize. This kind of mistake can be efficiently solved by an apology without a Wai posture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But the thing that you have to do when saying apologies is to say Krab or Kha at the end. Like \u2018\u2019Apologize Krab or Kha\u2019\u2019. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No matter if it is just a small or very big mistake. Always krab or Kha at the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Very important, In Thailand, never say apologize alone without Krab or Kha. If someone says just Apologize alone,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">it looks like a not genuine saying then It is even better not to say anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, the Thai language is quite complex to understand. The same words are used for different kind of sentences and the posture give different meaning depending on the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I know it is hard to learn, but if you can, you are just lovely and amazing.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-364255612\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-364255612 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For more interesting issues<\/span><\/p>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-3 medium-columns-1 small-columns-1\">\n  <div class=\"col post-item\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/farparents.com\/?p=6455\" class=\"plain\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-normal box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/baby-macaque-monkeys-sharing-food-cambodia-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/baby-macaque-monkeys-sharing-food-cambodia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/baby-macaque-monkeys-sharing-food-cambodia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/baby-macaque-monkeys-sharing-food-cambodia.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n          \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-large \">Common land, flying, and Sea Animals in Samui<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"is-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"from_the_blog_excerpt \"> [...]\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"badge absolute top post-date badge-outline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"badge-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"post-date-day\">03<\/span><br>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"post-date-month is-xsmall\">Oct<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"col post-item\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/farparents.com\/?p=6441\" class=\"plain\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-normal box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seatran-ferry-conveying-passenger-from-donsak-pier-surat-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seatran-ferry-conveying-passenger-from-donsak-pier-surat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seatran-ferry-conveying-passenger-from-donsak-pier-surat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/farparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seatran-ferry-conveying-passenger-from-donsak-pier-surat.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n          \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-large \">Booking: boat routes from Koh Phangan or Koh Tao to Koh Samui (and reverse), tickets, timely organization.
