US ambassador still a little too high-headed

Re: "Thailand will benefit from any trade pact it joins: US ambassador", Business, December 1.
US Ambassador Glyn Davies deserves to be commended for confining his talk this time to the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the relationship between the US and Thailand. It shows he can be gracious when he wants to be.
However, as a well-wisher, I would suggest that the next time the ambassador gives a traditional wai, he should lower his head a little while doing so.
Thais never wai anyone while holding their chins high.
