After much reading and recalling from my last trip to BKK, I do agree with Surawut as whose name will show up on the reciever phone. The person would simply answer " Waa ngai kha/khrab" or " Hello kha/khrab" if its from a close friends or from a family member. However, they would greet you with "Sawasdee kha/khrab" if you say it first before they would answer with Waa ngai or Hello Kha/Khrab

Maybe its true that thai people are saying less (Khor thot). But my latest encounter of instead from the person who bum into me saying Khor thot, he give a slight bow and he rush off again. Which to me is good enough.

Some Thais would say "sorry" with a bow if they know that you are tourist and not a local...
