Pretty simple....Don't touch a Thai's head. It is the spiritual high point of the body...the connection point to God (put simplistically).
If you touch your barfines head...she'll probably just smile...think you are an asshole and not say anything...it'll have happened to her before it's a job hazard of servicing foreigners.
Touch a Thai persons head outside of that situation and expect more chance of fireworks, of course the Thais are generally non confrontational and might not even advise you of your sin.
In short. Don't bother...especially having been told. If you do you've just proved yourself not worthy of being here.
And don't point your feet at people in certain situations, though this is not as widely considered an insult as many think, it's more the timing/situation of it
