Never seen Thais disciplining children in nearly 30 years here. And the boys especially get the royal treatment...are spoiled, always get their way and get away with anything/everything. Upbringing a real problem here, among many other factors. Too many too young, unfit, unable, unprepared, incapable and dirt poor allowed to have offspring when terminating the pregnancy is the best option. This is true in every country, not only here.
