Leicester vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has urged the Foxes players to behave as he plans a Thailand return.
The new Premier League champions were disgraced last summer when Tom Hopper, Adam Smith and James Pearson - the latter the son of the club's then manager Nigel Pearson - were sacked.
All three were dismissed after a club investigation into allegations that they racially abused women with whom they were engaging in sex acts in a hotel room, while on a post-season trip to the Asian country.
Aiyawatt, known around the club as 'Top' and son of Leicester owner Vichai, wants the team to return to Thailand following their coronation as champions but knows it must be different this time.
"I want them to see the Thai people, how welcome they are," he said.
"They are massive now and they want to say thank you to the Thai fans," he said ahead of Leicester receiving the trophy after Saturday's game against Everton.
"The players need privacy as well, but I've talked to them and they know they need to treat everything well.
"You are popular, that is great, and people come to see you because they admire you and they want to talk to you. They will talk to you like you're their son, so be proud and enjoy it. Don't just think about the privacy time."
Pearson was axed less than two weeks after his son was sacked following a breakdown of his relationship with the owners.
He was replaced by Claudio Ranieri who, despite being tipped to be the first manager sacked this season, led the Foxes to the title.
And Top knows he had to make the decision to dismiss Pearson, although gives him credit for their rise.
He said: "I understand the situation but it's happened. We have to fight the right way for the club so I had to make the decision.
"It's difficult to say [whether they would have won the title with Pearson] - it's a different way to manage. That's why I give credit to all the ex-managers, Nigel Pearson and Sven-Goran Eriksson.
"They are all part of it and I thank everybody, success or fail. It's a learning curve for me and the club."
