Both are right. Just, the attempt matters. Respect is important and not translated with fear as in many parts of the West all over Asia.
So, it does not matter if that guest is Chinese, Japanese or Thai, the gesture of respect matters. In Japan the Tea Ceremony is important. The Silk thing is over the top, there is no way he will do the Ceremony correctly ... using a table like that.
