Bedeutung
A humble phrase used when joining a new group.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Thai society is organized by age and status. This phrase is a tool to navigate this hierarchy by showing you respect the 'Pee' (older) or 'Phu-yai' (superior) status of others. This phrase is almost always paired with a 'Wai' (pressing palms together). The depth of the bow and the height of the hands depend on the status of the person you are talking to. By using this phrase, you are appealing to the listener's 'Metta' (loving-kindness). It is a psychological trigger that makes people want to help and protect you. The phrase emphasizes the group over the individual. You are 'giving' yourself to the group, which is a highly valued sentiment in Thai culture.
The Power of the Wai
Always perform a 'Wai' when saying this phrase to an elder or superior. It completes the gesture of humility.
Smile is Mandatory
Thai people call this 'Siam Muang Yim'. A warm smile while saying this phrase makes you appear 'Na-rak' (lovable) and approachable.

Don't Overdo It
Saying it once during an introduction is perfect. Repeating it every day to the same people will make you sound strange or insincere.
