Wai (Thai: ไหว้)

I took this photo in Pattaya, Thailand. There are some Mickey D's in the city, and took this photo in front of Royal Garden Plaza in South Pattaya. There, Ronald McDonald was gesturing exactly like the Thai greeting what is called wai (Thai: ไหว้). As the photo shows, Ronald MacDonald was giving a little bow and putting his palms together in front of his heart to welcome their guests. You might see this gesture many times during your trip in Thailand. Oh, the cain crew of Thai Airways International always welcomes their guests with beautiful wai at the door.
