this is a very simple termalogy i dont think we need to bring it that complicated, and den again, what i said is just to help yall avoid being looked upon stupid by passerbys. but if yall dont care about tt, den it isnt a problem, just like my friend that wai-ed at a begger, everyone around thinks he;s a idiot, but he doesnt really care. it's up to you .
1: its a friend den wai back, since u dont care what the customers or bargirls think of you.
2:its a friend den wai back, since u dont care what the customers or bargirls think of you.
3: Like you said its a friend, den wai back.
4: you said same level status, so wai back
5: u visit a store, they wai you cus u;re the customer, customer's always above the manager or wadever, dont think u need to wai back at all
bro, this issue evolves around strangers walking into bars. it prolly doesnt apply to you since you personally know the mamasans, but those newbies or some poeple here dont. they are going in as customers, and as greenhorns, and my perpose of telling em there aint no need to wai back is to avoid them looking like a damn fool. 2 very different issues
PS: im not trying to make a point but this is how thing goes in thailand, but again, if you dont care, den mai pben rai, just like although going shirtless is disgusting and disrespectful, farangs still do it in khaosan road.
sorry for being so ngee-ngao
