I'm not going to go wildly off topic and debate other peoples views. If blonde 18 was meeting her b/f family in America my response would have been totally different.
She's going to a different country with a different culture and different values.


In Thailand, it's not "everbody do your own thing"
What i suggest you do blonde 18 is to go with the flow this first time you meet your b/f family in Thailand. If you insist on having your way you risk losing the respect of your potential mother in-law and the breaking up of your current relationship.
If your relatationship continues and you happen to go to Thailand a second time I'm sure you'll be proudly introduced as his girlfriend.
