It's quite interesting what well-intentioned people have posted here, but I am American, and we pretty much believe that everyone was created equally.

I have been an Adjan and all that, but I wai absolutely anyone who wais me, just like I would return a polite gesture in the West.

I consider it a blow against any type of class system, and for equality and democracy!

It probably has no effect on anything, what-so-ever, but that is how I like to think of it.

Wai-ing indiscriminatly has the same effect as attacking indiscriminately, it makes you look very STUPID.

Maybe is stupid the one who think he is, but Thai I know don't think it's stupid to wai sometimes to show some respect to their culture, even if my wai isn't done the perfect way.
