If one is ever to fit in with a Thai family, one will be tested for nam jai. However, success comes from knowing when to give from the heart and when to not be foolish. It would be unwise and disharmonious to draw a 'hard line' when it comes to giving. The best policy is to be apologetic and lie about why you cannot give in a particular instance. That way, everybody saves face and you still get to keep your money.
