What do Thai people respect the most?
Like in every culture money and power are respected. But the concept of new and old money is also known in Thailand. Don’t expect to be admitted into Thai High Society just by flashing your money. They might do business with you, even invite you to social dinners but you will have to work very hard to be admitted in their circle. Surprisingly, Thai people respect knowledge even more than they respect money. If you are a Doctor (medicine or PHD) or a Professor don’t be shy about it. Teachers have actually a social status which is far above the social status of teachers in so called developed countries. Thai people love to learn and to improve themselves. They read a lot, and it is not rare to see young Thai people spending their afternoon sitting between the shells of a bookshop with a book in hand. For example, my girlfriend buys at least one book per week. While I buy novels for fun and distraction she only buys books that teach her something. Authors of manuals or guides of any sort
