Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could cause offence (冒犯). It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult — it’s just not done.

　　Attitudes to women vary a lot around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
