Family Customs in Thailand

	Thais still greet one another with the traditional wai, by bringing their hands together. The junior or inferior person always makes the gesture first. And the higher the hands are, the more the greeting conveys respect. Thailand's classical arts have developed almost exclusively in the service of Buddhism.  The best showcase is the wat. There you will find many statues of the Buddha, splendid murals depicting Buddha's life and folk-tales, fine woodcarving and stucco, dazzling lacquerwork, intricate mosaics of glass and
	mother-of-pearl, and above all the crowning glory of the unique upswept and sweeping and multi-tiered roofs, lined with brilliant tiles and often trimmed with golden ornaments.
