ALL: yin-dee-don-rub-soo-pra-thed-thai! (Welcome to Thailand!)

Denisse: Sawadika! My name is Denisse, I’m one of your tour guides today and it’s a
pleasure to serve you for today’s trip. On behalf of Compassion Tours, I’d like to welcome
you all to Thailand. Our first destination will take about 10 minutes. Right now, I'd like to
take a minute to familiarize you with the area and discuss some brief tour talks about your
first destination. Our first stop is the presentation of our Thailand Infoboard. Now, to give
you a brief description of our infoboard, I will hand you over to one of our tour guides -
Miss Ann Loreese Tapac. (ushering Isay)

Isay: Sawadika! My name is Ann Loreese Tapac, it’s a pleasure to serve you today. (shows
the infoboard) Compassion tours created an information board that contains significant
details about our country, Thailand. As you can see, the materials we used in creating this
project are made from recycled materials because Thailand believes that plastic waste
continues to be a significant environmental issue that many countries are addressing, and
Thailand is no exception. The country has launched campaigns to reduce and eliminate
waste and initiated various projects to raise awareness amongst its citizens.

Vince: Sawadika! My name is Vince Silva, and it’s an honor to be one of your tour guides
today. (goes to Thailand map) Thailand is in the heart of Southeast Asia. It is bordered by
the Gulf of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos to the east, Malaysia to the south, and Myanmar
to the north and west. Thailand, which means “land of the free,” was known as Siam until
1939. The meaning behind the Thai flag is that the red stripes reflect the bloodshed in
Thailand's fight for independence; the white represents pureness and Buddhism, and the
blue represents the Thai monarchy. Now, I will turn you over to Ms Shimeka Setiar, to give
a brief description about the culture and religion of Thailand.

Shim: Sawadika! My name is Shimeka and welcome to Thailand (smiles and do the “wai”)
One of the reasons why Thailand is called “The Land of Smiles” is because of the friendly
and hospitable nature of the Thai people. Thai people are known for their warm smiles and
their welcoming nature. A wai pronounced as WHY is a form of communication and a
customary greeting in Thailand. Essentially, the palms of the hands are momentarily pressed
together (shows to the tourist) in a prayer-like gesture with fingers pointing upwards,
usually close to the chest, and the head slightly bowed.

Denisse: As a rule of thumb, the position of your hands is indicative of the level of respect
within the classic Thai greeting. All wais are not the same and the different gestures
generally relate to who the other person is.

(demonstrates to the crowd, other tour guides will follow)

The Peer-to-Peer Wai: This is used in general with people who you meet socially. As you
slightly nod the hands move up so that the thumbs briefly touch the chin. This is a quick
action, similar to a ‘hi’ rather than some drawn-out greeting.
Vince: The More Respectful Wai: (demonstrates to the crowd)This is used when greeting
older people or those you deem to have a higher standing in some way. From the starting
position, as the head tips forward slightly the hands some up so that the thumbs touch the
nose.

Isay: The Monk Wai: A real sign of reverence is used when Thais wai to monks ,especially
when visiting temples in Thailand. A wai can mean "Hello," "Thank you," "I'm sorry," or
"Goodbye." A wai is not used to greet children, servants, street vendors or laborers. Never
return a wai to a child, waiter, clerk, etc. Simply nod and smile in response.Monks do not
return a wai.

Shim: (goes to the buddha): The majority of Thai people follow Theravada Buddhism.
Even though the King and members of the Royal Family are Buddhists. Thailand is perhaps
the only country in the world where the king is stipulated to be a Buddhist and the patron of
the faith in Thailand. For centuries, Buddhism has played an important role in the history of
the kingdom and has enriched the lives of Thai people in all their aspects. It is certainly
notable that without Buddhism, Thailand would not be what it is today.
Denisse: (goes to the elephant and points) Thailand, a country known for its rich cultural
heritage, has long been hailed as the “Land of the White Elephant.” The majestic creature,
with its immense size and gentle demeanor, holds a special place in the hearts of the Thai
people. Elephants in Thai culture symbolize power, wisdom, and good fortune, embodying
qualities that are deeply cherished by the locals. (goes to SDGs) On SDGs 12, 13, 14, and
15, Thailand has advanced actions on climate change and sustainable consumption and
production, strengthened efforts to protect marine and coastal ecosystems, and increased
stakeholder engagement on forest area management.

Vince: (goes to Naga the dragon) This is Naga. Thailand's national mythological creature.
Nagas are depicted as symbols of water and abundance. They are also believed to be
protectors of Buddhism.

Isay: Thailand’s implementation of SDG16 centers on promoting fair and equal access to
justice for all, and multi-stakeholder cooperation on human rights promotion, as well as
anti-trafficking and anti-corruption efforts. Now, let’s go inside to know more about
Thailand. (ushers the tourists)

(The rest of Compassionistas will greet Sawadika as the tourists enters the room)
