Thailand and Colombia have different ways of Non-verbal communication. We can find a lot of differences but overall with have to understand that in Thai culture people keeps physic distance while in our culture physical touch is essential. Thai non-verbal communication is emphasized in showing respect and politeness. One example of the non-verbal communication of the Thai people is the traditional Thai greeting known as the "Wai" which consists in a slight bow with hands pressed together in a prayer like-position. This is different from the way we do it in Colombia, here hugs, kisses on the cheek, and handshakes are the most common ways to greet. Keeping the eye contact is also considered respectful in Thailand, the same as Colombia, where keeping the eye contact is essential for people to feel heard. Both countries use facial expressions and gestures to show emotions and intentions, but the interpretations of the signals can be very much different. Also, in Colombia the non-verbal communication tends to be more expressive than in Thailand, where it tends to be reserved and subtle.
