You greet people with a Wai. You can say thank you with a wai. You say goodbye with a wai. Pretty much you will wai a lot in Thailand. You put your palms together and place them anywhere between your chest and forehead. You always wai people older than you. They may choose to wai you back or not. You don't initiate a wai with someone younger than you. The higher the wai, the more respect is being paid to the person receiving the wai.
By the way, hello is "Sawat-dee." Thank you is "cob-coon." Goodbye/good luck is "choke-dee"
