I recently spent a few days with a group of Thai friends and I may have offended them. They would greet me with their hands together and bow but I would not return the gesture. I was afraid it was a Buddhist thing and it would be insulting for a non Buddhism to do. Also in a taxi I would play with their hair and touch their heads and kissed in public. I am not sure if they were afraid to tell me or know it is common behavior if you are not Thai.

These aren't "Buddhist things."
