Soft handshakes..

[sipi]

Thais don't shake hands, they Wai

Waiing has nothing to do with it.

OP is about shaking hands...

[Berkshire]

The handshake is one custom that should be done away with. It's the most common way of passing around germs and bacteria. The wai is much more sensible. But every time I meet a farang, they want to shake my hand. Nowadays, all I want to do is go wash my hands. And to the douchebags who always try to crush my hand, knock it off already!

What a poof.

It may have to do with the small-penis syndrome. Certain guys who are lacking "down there" tend to overcompensate with a death-grip handshake to prove their manhood. You sound like a firm handshake sort of guy.

maybe because thai people wai

and the wet fish ... maybe he just used his hand to wipe his ass

Probably because the handshake is not an Asian thing, but purely European, ever thought of that. What sort of a Wai do you do ?

Shaking hands?.......Disgusting habit............

That's why I always give a soft kiss on the cheek of whoever I meet......Thai or farang...........

Looking forward meeting you people.....................

You've just confirmed the oft-talked about notion that Greeks are ass-kissers.

Thats "our" Costas especially where the general is concerned.

Are you the guy that stands on the lavatory seat.

My wai is fine, thanks for asking. It has nothing to do with my op.

This is called shaking hands, and yes Thais do it...

Many men I've shaken hands with here also have soft little baby girl hands. Doubt they have ever held a hammer or changed a tire......

Yes, it must be a "polite" thing...

You seem to have a fetish for guys' bathroom habits. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Possibly because shaking hands is not a Thai custom. Nor is the current craze for fist-bumping. You never know where those sweaty hands have been! Some Thais view a handshake as merely the symbolic touching of hands.

The 'wai' is both hygienic and respectful.

Try kissing me and see what happens.
