SAWASDEE (สวัสดี) is a Thai greeting that means "hello" or "hi." It can also be used to say "goodbye" in some contexts. The word is often accompanied by a traditional gesture called the "wai," where you press your palms together in a prayer-like position and bow your head slightly as a sign of respect.
"CHAO KAO" or "Hill tribe" patterns, or "Hill Tribe textiles," are intricate designs used in weaving or making garments by various indigenous groups in the mountainous regions of Thailand and Southeast Asia. These patterns often feature geometric shapes like lines, circles, squares, and waves, along with representations of nature, such as flowers, birds, or stars. These designs carry spiritual meanings or symbolize good luck. Bright colors like red, blue, green, and yellow are commonly used, reflecting religious beliefs and the connection to nature.
