June 13, 201015 yr Can anyone help me with some information/advice please? I am 'new' to Thailand and to its culture. My girlfriend has entered one of the Bangkok monasteries for 2 weeks. She tells me that I am allowed to visit between 1pm and 2pm. If I go to visit her: 1. can I take her some of her favourite foods to eat? 2. can I take her flowers or any other similar gift? 3. Should I wear white? 4. I assume I should not engage in any conversation with her that is flirtatious. Is that correct? 5. are there and other things I ought to be aware of during the visit? 6. Should I take something to donate to the temple? If so, what? Thanking you in anticipation.
June 13, 201015 yr I talked to my Thai family Do not bring food. They cannot eat after 1200 noon Flower ok Wear long pants shirt -not a lot of colors Normal conversation-not allowed alone. Respect her environment. She is going to practice-Maybe daily visits not necessary-but that is between her and you Yes donate to temple. Hope this heps

It felt quite strange as I knew I had to behave in a particular way but I was dying to hold her!!! She had a friend/colleague with her and I saw her for only 10 minutes. She did call later though and sounded a bit more 'normal'. What an experience!! Thank you again for your help
