    My advice is Dont

    1. dont involve yourself with Thai men in situations where you are likely to disagree with them or be better than them at some task (even sport)

    2. dont react to the constant smiles that you will observe. they are rarely genuine or reflect what you would think.

    3. don't forget that you have entered into a fully undeveloped country even though the malls look nice and there are some good hotels (think North Korea or Afghanistan with perhaps better looking people)

    4. dont forget that you have your own culture which is very likely superior in many ways. its fine to be mindful of thai culture but dont think you have to betray your own all the time

    Do

    1. treat thai people with complete detachment - and never expect more from them

    2. remember at all times that thai culture dictates that in interacting with you they are highly encouraged to tell you exactly what they think you want to hear to make you feel good or let down your guard (things are rarely what they seem)

    3. try your best to limit your interaction with thais to controlled situation (buying food, going to work if an expat, etc. Try not to have too many thai people in your life as it increases your risk)

    You must have an horrible life if I was a Christian I pray for you... Now I just. Have a beer...
