    He might not have put it very tactfully, but there are many, many reasons not to take on another man's kids.  Especially if you're still reasonably young yourself.

    Agree, its politically incorrect to say like the way he did it, but if you are being totally sensible , the thought should.come.into your mind.

     

    Like saying its advisable not to date a woman who has had 3 husbands and 6 kids 

  2. I usually write reviews for most hotels i stay, personally its about 70% excellent, 20% good, 10% scathing

     

    Ive never thought about timing it but i do it well after checking out.

     

    Havent been detained yet (i only found out about the thai defamation laws recently)

    Maybe ive been lucky

     

    Oh and my reviews are factual, unemotive and very direct, including staff names

    Just looking at the map and planning a trip with the good looking one. So many places to go. Yet you read the news and tourists are in Phuket or Pattaya whinging about Russians or some scam. No imagination. Go somewhere else.

     

    I went to Loei last month. Stunning place. Saw about 10 farangs tops.

     

    Now looking at a few northern towns like Lampang, Phrae, Nan, Phayao onto Rai.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ummmm. Thats what tourism is.

     

    Replace 5-6 with 1-2 for boring places or 10+with places that have lots of accessible interesting places

    So young and already so violent and quick to anger.  One only has to wonder who or how they learned such behavior.  Young kids watch so much violence on TV and then of course some of the shows, like games they play, those that die come back to life.

    Its times like this i wish it was alcohol, drugs or mental illness as the "excuse" for such events........

    But it appears not

     

    Such a waste

    Use BOLT taxi service, app is super easy to use, a little cheaper than GRAB.

     

    Bolt has options of car with full taxi branding, motorcycle or 'econo' car, meaning basic car in good condition and very clean, no taxi branding. I use 'Econo' car, about 10 to 15 Baht cheaper than branded taxi. 

     

    One item: BOLT curently only accept cash, soon to be changed to have QR code etc. Drivers always have change.

     

    Can add extra details of location of pick up in English, their app automatically/immediately changes your message to Thai for the driver. 

     

    App shows where the car is all the time. 

     

    BOLT driver's courteous and focused.

    not Thailand, but when I was in another Asian country,

    the setup is similar, private drivers using their own cars, metered taxis refusing to turn meter on, refusing to take unless you paid a stupid figure

     

    say a $5 trip using the meter on a genuine company/app, (the company took 25%, driver gets 75%) i found that figure out by asking the drivers, the dodgy ones would only do it for $15, so it means its still worth the genuine driver to take the fare for $3.75 in his pocket.  As my gesture of appreciation of taking me without being dodgy, I would often give them $3 or so extra on top as cash

     

    thats my way of showing a little appreciation

  6.  

    Thought you knew more about langyage, culture, child raising than anyone else.....

     

    Why are you posting questions when you should be boasting about how much you know?

  7. "He has only ever known me as his guardian/father although he knows, I think, that I’m not his actual father. But at Five he has no concept"

     

    So at 5 years old, his mother is thai, he is full thai  and you are falang  and you think he may not know you are not his biological father????????????
