Thais have great respect of medical doctors. Make an appointment with one that speaks some english. Have a conversation with him/her expressing your concerns when your wife is not around, and ask him/her to talk with her.
She is a mother she carried that child for nine months, the love and attachment she has for that child , as much as you love it, you will never understand. You trying to tell her how to behave toward her child is a fool's errand. It needs to be her idea.
Have her pediatrician talk with her.
Sage advice indeed.

First of all congratulations.
Second of all is to breathe in deeply & step back for a minute.
Issan culture is different to Thai culture as you know but off the scale compared to Western culture.
It's hard to know where to start but try not to fight with your partner as they will close ranks on you. She will be going through all sorts of hormonal issues which we can't understand, it's like her period but on steroids.
PND or the baby blues is real but affects each woman differently.
On top of this her mum, granny, sister, auntie & nosey neighbour will be sticking their oar in.
Rural Thai dads are allowed to look & maybe hold the baby but they are not to be trusted with the child & your being foreign only compounds this.
For the most part the women share the upbringing with the mother breastfeeding & men are excluded, your job is to provide.
If you were seen changing the nappy or feeding the child then they would indicate in their eyes that there was something wrong with the mother & the family.
It's very old fashioned up there.
You have to play the waiting game, stop fighting & things will improve.
Stay strong, I feel for you fella & wish you & your young family the best

Reports from other news channels (no links allowed on here according to the rulers) that we are looking at a 1st May easing of closures in ChonBuri with restrictions being lifted.
As of tomorrow electronic stores can reopen.
I have been mailed this from pattaya ???? so can anyone else confirm the story or confirm it's truth?
I don't know if this also mean schools as it was not mentioned & I can't read the Thai language version

Do people bother to check facts before posting?
Swapmy never closed & a flight from Shanghai landed 45 mins ago.
Qatar running flights & there are flights to europe running as well.
EVA runs a direct flight to London but I don't think it's daily.

I like the healthy & safety conscious Thais that ride their motorbikes with a mask but without a helmut.

Bailed out by who?
British Airways is wholly owned by IAG a Spanish company that has 25% of it's shares owned by Qatar Airlines.
Airlines have been looking to the UK government for support but quite rightly the government is reluctant to put taxpayers money into companies that have significant foreign investment.
IAG is an Anglo-Spanish company that was formed when BA & Iberia merged.
BA was a far bigger airline at the time with less debt & the split was 55% in BA's favour.
IAG is independent though & it the actual parent company.
It's based in London & Madrid with it's HQ in London in what was/is the BA HQ in Watersides which in turn is planned to be demolished if the UK government was sucessful in being allowed to build a third runway at Heathrow (now seemingly unlikely)
I owned shares in BA & used to get 10% discount which were transferred to IAG which I meant to sell at Xmas & buy Canopy stock, that milk is well spilt now.

I've been in the country when 3 seperate military coups happened.
Not much happened as far as I could see.
This is not really a practiced militia as there is no real war except for the SW of the country where bombs still go off.
Local policing is often done in the cities by the local motocycs for the most part & the boys in brown do not seem to have any respect whatsoever as they just shake people down.
Outside of the urban areas it's down to having a decent headsman who usually comes from decent family but for the most part a lot of country Thais will depend on their religion to show them the way.
I reckon that a lot of virus related deaths will not be recognised up country as C19 because there will be no ability to test post mortem & it will be put down as karma then they are cremated tout suite.
There is a really good chance that if this bites big time in places like Issan that it will not be registered as having happened at all.

I can't see a proper pro being interested in my place as they'll have done their homework so I think it would opportunists would be on snatch & grab rather than bringing their own eye piece & checking the carat quantity.
You might well be right about these robbers but all the same does anyone know where I might purchase such snide metals?

Give immigration a shout.
He's working so he'd better have the right status.
He'll be properly fined if he's illegal & if your missus calls it then she gets 5%
