Last week on the golf course, my caddy never waied me, which is very disrespectful, Oh, you're one of those, thinking you're more important than staff. Did you wai them when entering ? Or felt they weren't worthy. That explains a lot. I hope you thought about it the whole time you were there and it ruined your dining experience ???? Maybe they didn't wai you because they remember you from previous visit. As stated earlier ... respect is earned.

CALL 800-931-9884 Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love.Where there is offence, let me bring pardon.Where there is discord, let me bring union.Where there is error, let me bring truth.Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.Where there is despair, let me bring hope.Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.O Master, let me not seek as muchto be consoled as to console,to be understood as to understand,to be loved as to love,for it is in giving that one receives,it is in self-forgetting that one finds,it is in pardoning that one is pardoned,it is in dying that one is raised to eternal life.” Wow that's tough. I've lived here around 17 years and couldn't give a monkeys who does or doesn't wai me! The only people I wai are police/government/immigration officers and my mother-in-law.

Interesting, have you worked here? Maybe it's because I have worked in Thai institutions that I understand the importance of obeisance in Thai society, and I would not wai police, normally. I've integrated more than most farang and know the hierarchal social structure, as well as understanding how Thais see farang, especially in tourist areas.

As anywhere else you become old school here now, but still agree tips only given when Im happy with food and service, unless there is already charged. If they charge service and not happy, there is easier to give a remark on a google review. Explaining why I was unsatisfied. However I would not even notice if they didnt give me a wai, but I like when they open the doors for us and give is a nice welcome if we are going to a higher rated restaurant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A half dozen trips. Two or three weeks and the perspective always returns. Always glad to return to Thailand, despite its many issues. Better than the US, on so many levels.
