Don't know too much, you must obviously be humble, wai with hands at nose, don't think you are supposed to touch them anywhere or eat or drink there stuff. Normal etiquette about soles of feet, taking shoes off, wear trousers and shoes and not showing heels etc but I wouldn't worry too much Gf will tell you most things and they will be tolerent cos you are a farang. Remember he's high ranking but so are you.
