Whenever someone greets you with a wai, remember to mirror it back. Many Thai people will happily shake your hand as well. Do not resist that or force a wai instead.

There\u2019s actually a law against speaking ill of the king. While it may be lenient on tourists on account of unawareness, it\u2019s best not to approach that topic. Women cannot touch monks, their robes or hand them things.
