  1. My wife’s cousin is one of 7 kids, all were sent to Australia or UK for Uni, their child (my wife’s niece) will likely follow the same path. I can already see how their child is treated, she receives more western influence than her cousins.

    Whether or not this leads to a better future for the child is yet to be seen, however I would suggest that their child who is likely to study overseas will face much greater opportunity.

    While we were all holidaying in Hua Hin, on the next table was an Australian chappy comfortably accommodating every stereo type. Tattoos, vest, board shorts and ‘thongs’, he was also quite over weight and accompanied by a lady half his age, a nice couple though, they were polite and appeared happy. Their child was a pretty little angel, clearly in need of the company of others as her parents appeared to ignore her while she played on the floor. It was obvious she wanted to play and talk with the kids on our table, it was a shame she’d been playing on the floor, her dress was dirty, her hair was messed up, she looked like she hadn’t been washed that day, the kids at our table had to be pushed a little to be polite and play back with her.

    All I could think of was Poor Child. She will never see the opportunity she may have had in her fathers home land, and all perhaps due to the lack of ambition the part of her parents.

    I may have been over judgmental in my thoughts, I may have been incorrect, I may have been wrong on many accounts, but that is not the point of my comments here. My thoughts were that a child who’s parents appear not to be able to afford her a good International school is missing out on significant opportunity by growing up in Thailand. I thought this was somewhat unfair.

    Based on my experiences with mixed couples and how well their children are received in Thailand. As with m any other aspects of life in Thailand and how well people are respected and treated, I believe a large socio-economic factor is at play.

    Richard , you realy are a socio economic slave without any imagination , and long may you remain so .

  2. It is easy to look at this incident and say ,"Why did he do that ? " and why didn't he do this ?".

    Now what could he have done (the guy that was banged on the head ) when aproached by the guard for carrying his daughter's balloons into a balloon restricted zone . Well , he could have said . " alright fella , have it your way but my daughter is very upset now " . Then he could have drawn faces , not dissimilar to that of the gaurd , on the balloons with a majic marker and then .....

    Of course he could have told the guard , " these faces on these balloons are you and your mumma and dadda " , this said his daughter could have had the pleasure of bursting all the balloons before getting on the train , with her mum's trusty hairpin .

    That would have shown the security gaurd his folly and provided a much more entertaining video on utube .

    Top o' the mornin' to ya !

  3. Here's one for SC and le blether . It only works if you have a lisp .

    Randy Reaver of Ruby Ridge had a repeating rifle , and a reserve revolver .

    Didnt know either of them were from Surin.

    Landy Leaver of Luby Lidge had a lepeating lifen and a leserf levolva.

    Awound wi wagged wock wi wugged wascle wan . Back in the days of black and white science fiction television , being capable of repeating that flawlessly over and over proved one to be of sound mind and not bonkers .

    Edit ; And therefore fit to own a sharp machete .

  5. It's usually straightforward - can't explain the failure at the last screen apart from a fault with airasia. It's never happened to me?

    Not sure it's such a good idea to buy air tickets with the e-shopping card as quite often you need to produce the card you used to buy the tickets at the airport as proof of ID? (Which of course will be impossible!)

    Hmm . Might showing my atm card do the trick at the airport ? I am kind of hoping someone who has used the e shopping card purchase method to post a guide .

  6. Hi ,

    I am in Hong Kong . I tried to purchase some Thailand domestic flight tickets using internet banking with airasia today . I have set up the e shopping card a few months ago but have never used it until now . I think the transaction failed and I am not sure why . My balance is unchanged . The screen went blank at the at the last proceed prompt . Can anyone explain the procedure to this daft as a brush plodder ?

    thankyou
