Unfortunately, both the Nation and yourself are mixing up two completely different stories. Thongchai's comments which are quoted in that last paragraph were not aimed at Tiger's multiple cheating problems, but at Tiger's appearance at the Johnny Walker Classic held in Thailand where he 'wai'ed' the crowds there assembled. Thongchai was expressing happiness that Tiger was using the traditional Thai method of greeting.

This happened sometime in mid November ... some weeks before Tiger's Big Problem(s) hit the headlines.
