Americans and other westerners face the elevator door, while looking at the floor or at the changing floor numbers. Thai people will face the side walls of the elevator, seemingly staring at the other passengers. A mixed group of people in an elevator will all be facing different directions. Just something interesting I've noticed. Also, when Thai people exit the elevator, they give a little duck of their head as to excuse themselves from everyone else's presence.
