When I first arrived to Thailand, I went to meet a young guy that just started his agency, he was 18yo back then He knew I was into fighting, so he brought me a custom made pair of Muay Thai shorts, with my name on it I really appreciated that. We quickly became friends and to this day, even after 2 years, he's still one of my closest friends We done business deals, made lots of money together etc Now after getting to know him better, I know that gesture was purely out of RESPECT, he didn't have any ulterior motive This is actually a nice, respectful introduction that you can use when meeting an important person For example, when I went to meet Joe Lampton in Bucharest, I also brought him some custom made shorts
