From the short vowel (Rasha), which is a death word. Come as a long vowel (theksa) which is a word Makes it sound more pleasing to the ears, thus becoming "hello" used as a beautiful and meaningful greeting To each other of the Thai people. The word "good night", which is translated from the word "good night", which is goodbye in English Was built in the era of the Marshal Por Pibulsongkram as well by requiring Thai people to say in the morning that "Good morning" comes from the word "good morning" and said in the afternoon, "Tiwasawat" comes from the word "good afternoon" and in the evening, say "Sayan Sawat" comes from the word "good evening" but because it has to change over time Therefore not popular Thai people prefer to use the word "hello" because it can be used all the time, but still some Thai people still use it.

The word Hello will serve both as a greeting. And bless at the same time And when we say hello Thai people still raise their hands to pay respect to the chest. Both hands will join together to form a lotus bud. Like a symbol that conveys something high, auspicious value Because Thais use lotus to worship the elders, worship the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, while placing hands at the heart level To convey the feeling that Greeting comes from the heart of the worshiper.
