Stacker, I have to agree with delawang.
It seems to me the purpose of this pamphlet is to inform first time travellers to Thailand of the customs and how to observe them.
Like I said before, some small social blunders can be expected when encountering a new culture.
This book will help the tourist avoid problems and embarrasment of commiting social infractions.
I could tell you many stories of ignorant farangs I have seen in Bangkok that might have been helped by a book such as this.

Don't take it so personal buddy. LOL
One of the reasons this book is necessary is that Thais' are very tolerant of farangs but, the problem of farangs showing disrepect towards Thai customs and culture is getting out of hand.
It's time to address this problem.

All of your points are valid, and strong. I am ending my side of the discussion, for 2 years. But I promise I will bring this back to highlight the topic and see how the improve is made.

There are far too many ignorant farang going to Thailand, I feel very bad for what the Thai people have had to put up with. Surely Thai people have seen two farang fighting before, well to clear this up somewhat I will explain. The reason they are fighting is because one is a stupid arrogant jerk with no respect for other cultures, the other farang is the educated, quiet, smarter one who is simply soooooooo offended that he feels compelled to hit the other in hopes of waking him up to to 21st century or even the 20th century which will many times do just fine. Yes that second one is the one who has respect for Thailand, he is so embarrassed he just wants the other to shut his mouth. Not all farang as most Thai people have seen certainly are not the same lol
