I would to ask to you if someday you had a problem with your BF's Thai friends.
When you have a BF or a very "good friend" or a good relationship, when sometimes you have problem with him or different with point of view, what is the "weight" of his friends's thinking.
And even for taking decision, or before to choose something what his the importance of what his friend say, even he say "I can choose or decide by myself, I am not a Buffalo".
It's so strange sometimes how he can change mind, Or doing the inverse of what him say night before, or how he can change his way to see project we had before, or even for what him need or want really.
I know when guy work in Gogo, in Bar, or in group, they speak all the time, I know how is difficult to loose face for them but what the real "freedom" he has to make his own choice ?
PS: I hope you can understand what I mean and sorry if my english is not so good
