These pictures were taken a little over a year ago in Northern Thailand. I am not Thai, I do not speak Thai, nor am I in any authority on Thai culture yet there is something about this simple hand gesture which I find reminicent to a bow in Japan (as my father illustrates below). A beautifully unpretentious, unobtrusive, unembellished and unspoken means of communication.

Its refreshing to live in a place where proving somebody else's self worth is more conventional than proving your own.
