    no foreigner has the right to criticise the traditions, customs, dos and don'ts of his host country. if he does an "if you don't like it leave!" is quite appropriate.

    I don't really see how one foreigner can tell another foreigner to leave the host country he is in also.

    So you are trying to tell us kids come from the ocean get in and drown in a back yard pool  

    Yep. And sometimes sharks manage to launch themselves from the water into the yards and wriggle into the pool. Laws being drafted to install shark netting in canal estate pools.

    It seems there is a minority of people who seem to have to complain about the country and its rules and customs. In a way the "if you don't like it here then..." response are perfectly understandable

    So I often complained about things in my own country. So what would a valid response be there? "if you don't like it here move to another country."?

     

    No one, except immigration has the right to tell anyone to go home.

     

    And after reading so many posts on here and other sites and talking to people in real life is it really a minority?

    Good grief.  Fence off all the swimming pools.. then the canals, ditches, streams, rivers, and the ocean......  going to need a lot of fencing.  Then cover the fencing with rubber and foam in case the children hurt their heads on the hard metal.....

    Agree, no one wants to take any responsibility for their or their families actions. Having said that it is good to the OP is trying to make things safer, and why not. Just because not done here does not mean he can't try. I really  don't think he is trying to break down cultural barriers.

    I used to live in Brisbane, Australia. The councils had very strict pool fencing rules. They even used high resolution aerial photography to check pools for fencing and often paid people a visit.

     

    Then I would go for a boat ride in some of the many residential canals on the "Gold Coast" with all the upmarket expensive housing with a large number having pools, all fenced. But probably 90% of these properties with pools that back onto the canals have no back fence and their yard is open to the canal which mysteriously contains lots of water. But that is legal. Go figure!!!

    Be thankful that you are lucky to be allowed to be in this marvelous Kingdom.

    Ah, the "maybe you should go home" post

     

    I like a Facebook group about bad driving in Thailand in that if a member says that they are kicked out.

    Thanks for all the info guys. I definitely plan to go well prepared with all the essentials as well as nursery ryhme videos loaded on the ipad and new toys!

     

    I would like to do one of the ME airlines to break the flight up but from what I can see they all seem to be night time flights and I really dont want to risk him crying when everyone else is trying to sleep, I always find that flying in the day minimizes jet lag on the other side too.

     

    So about strollers, I can take one with my and take it all the way up to the gate and then they will stow it for me with check in luggage?

    I read today somewhere you can check it in at counter or gate so should be ok

    I have great interest in his topic as I am taking my 15 month son to Australia for adoption next month. I will be flying Thai. Their baby basinets are restricted to babies 69cm, 10kg or 6 months. 

     

    Unfortunately I can't tell you much more as I need to know myself. I have never flown with a baby before and need to know things as well. I hope OP doesn't mind me piggy back on his post and ask questions, might help them as well.

     

    I had started a GoFundMe campaign to help me raise some money to take him but unfortunately was not very successful. I can't afford a seat for him and if a seat is purchased you have to provide an approved seat or carrier. I booked an aisle seat behind a bulkhead to allow some freedom and I am hoping seat next to me will not be taken, mainly to sit his stuff on. He died at the age of 6 weeks but was revived. Unfortunately he suffered brain damage due to the time he was "dead". He can not eat or drink by mouth and has to be fed via a gastrostomy tube on his abdomen so this requires extra stuff to be carried.

     

    One question I have is in regards to the amount of baby milk that can be carried on board. I have done a fair amount of searches but general consensus appears to be that the restrictions of the carrying of liquids does not apply but still can be confiscated at the whim of security. I am travelling Chiang Mai to Bangkok then a 9 hour flight to Australia so I need 3 large bottles full. I can carry the powder and get water on the flight but trying to minimise the amount of work I need to do on the flight. I am sure the cabin crew will help but they have jobs to do so I don't want to burden anyone.

     

    It is going to be a daunting task for me to travel alone with him. But he is usually very well behaved and rarely cries.

     

    As with the OP and suggestions welcome and sorry to the OP for piggy back.

     But if you don't know either, never mind.

    Yes I get annoyed when you ask questions on here because you don't know and people treat you stupid because you don't know. So hard to be perfect.:smile:

    why buy a ticket IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE WON THE JACKPOT???????????????

    Please stop shouting. People can still read what you write without "shouting".

     

    Words written in capitals means you are shouting if you don't already know and is considered rude.

    I use http://lottery.kapook.com/  It's in Thai, but all you have to do is type your number in the blanks in the right-hand column (up to five tickets at a time). It checks for every possible prize. Since I haven't won even a two number prize in years I don't know how it presents a win.

    The winning number goes green and it gives some other indication of prize, can't remember now.
