sipi Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thais don't shake hands, they Wai Waiing has nothing to do with it. OP is about shaking hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 maybe because thai people wai and the wet fish ... maybe he just used his hand to wipe his ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Probably because the handshake is not an Asian thing, but purely European, ever thought of that. What sort of a Wai do you do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 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.

sipi Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Rosewater Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 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...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there is anything wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 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. 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..................... Try kissing me and see what happens. Filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
