EP. 20 The Thai Wai 🙏🇹🇭
Have you ever wondered why Thai people put their hands together and bow their heads when greeting someone?
The ไหว้ (wai) is an important part of Thai culture. It can express respect, gratitude, politeness and apology, with different ways of waiing depending on the person and situation.
In this episode, we explore what the wai means, where it fits into everyday Thai life, how to do it correctly, and the cultural etiquette behind this familiar Thai gesture.
Because to understand the wai, you need to understand more than just the hand movement. You need to understand the culture behind it.

Why Is Thailand Flooding?
EP. 19 Why Is Thailand Flooding? 🌧️🇹🇭
Thailand’s rainy season can mean much more than just rain. From flooding and heavy rainfall to the different weather patterns across the North, Northeast, Central Thailand and the South, Thailand’s seasons can be quite different depending on where you are.
In this episode, we also look at useful Thai words for talking about rain, flooding and the seasons, plus why a simple question like ฝนตกไหม? “Is it raining?” can sometimes be a way of showing that you care.

What Is Sin Sod?
EP. 18 What Is Sin Sod? 🇹🇭💍
If you’re a foreigner dating or marrying a Thai person, you’ve probably heard about สินสอด (sin sɔ̀ɔt).
But is it really “paying for the bride”?
Not quite.
Sin sod is a traditional part of Thai marriage culture connected to family, respect, gratitude and responsibility. But how it works, how much is expected, and whether a family even wants it can be very different from one family to another.
In this episode, we talk about where the tradition comes from, why money and gold are involved, what can happen to the money after the wedding, and what amounts are commonly discussed today.
