Does anyone know of any does and dont's for meeting a monk? Thanks in advance.  |
Just remember one thing, they are people just like you. Yes they are much respected and looked up to, but they still enjoy a good joke, a good chat, thats assuming your GF's dad speaks english.
As hobbsy said, dont worry too much about it, just follow your GF's lead and you will not be expected to know and understand what to do. You may well find there will be other Thais around, who will be watching you, but again dont worry about them, they will be more interested in the fact that you are actually there, then what you do.
Just go with the experience and enjoy yourself.
