Which culture is famous for greeting with a bow instead of a handshake?

As we in the beautiful Phipines,we used to hold elder hands and place them on our forehead as sign of respect🙏

In Thailand, bowing is common and charming too. My daughter has a lovely Thai friend who always bow to my husband and I. She always called us mummy and daddy. It shows respect for your elders, no matter what the relationship, or in our case, no relationship, just friendship.

Isn’t it more sanitary? Handshakes contain too many germs being transferred.
