 My son is nine and in his 4 th year in Kung <deleted>. He started out when it was offered as an extra in his school. There are many young children involved and the master is very calm and understanding with them.At this stage it’s mainly about agility, balancing, mental,and physical discipline. 
not much rough stuff. 
Much depends on the teacher since , as we all know who have had kids in sports , there are a lot of nutters  out there who yell and scream at young kids and turn them off. 
I did  some MMA until my back gave out so know a little about it but would not involve my son in anything like the brutal Muay Thai. A friend of mine with a black belt in judo says that Kung <deleted> is the best for young kids and can be followed profitably for a very long time.

So my answer is that kids can be started at a very young age but much depends on the particular discipline and the individual teacher. 

This may not be for everyone but I get , in NY, every year an OA multiple entry and simply leave and return within the 90 day period. 

My only issue has been a young lady at immigration who incorrectly gave me 90 more days on the visa instead of one year which I solved without too much trouble.

Always check the stamp at the desk at immigration at the airport before leaving. 

Not unusual. Always check your stamp at the desk. Happened to me at airport when I got 90 days instead of 1 year on my OA multiple entry visa. I left country again within the 90 days and got correct time on re entry. Always check at the desk.

Railings in VT buildings are quite high amd it would take a lot of effort to go over. BTW- I like sitting outside on my balcony. Something I can't do at home in the winter. If I want to sit behind windows I can do that in Siberia.

I live on 30 th floor of VT8 , yes thirtieth, and last night the noise from the music below was so loud I couldn't play my own on my terrace. BTW- I'm hard of hearing. Time to go.

I have a multiple entry OA visa and entered twice and was given one year. On a third entry I was given only ninety days. I think this was mistake on the part of the entry clerk but didn't notice it until much later and didn't have it corrected. I'm leaving again within the 90 days so I dont think I have problem but can anyone clarify? One lesson is to check the date stamp at the point of entry right away and if there's a problem get it corrected right then and there.

As Jomtien beach road proceeds south it narrows at least twice until it is basically two lanes wide. Three cars can fit next to each other but it's tight. Parking is illegal on one side but since TIT cars park on both sides with impunity so that there is only room for one moving car . Now mix in the monstrous tour buses and it's not unusual , especially on weekends, to have traffic at a complete standstill in both directions while two tour buses pointing in opposite directions are unable to move forward or backward.

A few weeks ago it took me over 20 minutes to drive from Chaiapruek to Pu Pen seafood. Of course there are two new multistory buildings in this area with more construction going on. Just how this narrow, two way street is going to accommodate traffic seems to be something the city fathers don't worry about.

I'm a three year newbie and moved out of Pattaya to Jomtien last year. Now I'm moving again.

My opinion is that Jomtien traffic is now worse than Pattaya at many times and getting worse.
