- Do respect and tolerate one another due to differences in background, ideology, culture and language.
- Do be clean and dress neatly, it might sounds funny but its true that most "farang" guy show up on their first date with sweat-stained shirts, sandal and an untidy appearance. What you wear and how you look is important for your Thai girlfriend to be proud to be with you.

Even if it s just a joke to you, she will take it hard inside and think you re looking down on her whole country and will never welcome you back again.
- Don t tell Thais off in public. Losing face is not easy to deal with in general.
