My take on that is that as long as the farang knows that he is buying her youth and beauty, then it doesn't matter.

 

What I find sad is that many of these guys become heartbroken when the girl leaves, stating that he really thought it was "love"............and they go to pieces. 

Renting, surely ?

The answer is: if you are fat, ugly, unatractive, elderly, badly dressed, spend your time in bars drinking and lack Thai freinds there is a very high possibility the lady is with you for money. 

Have we met ?

I only ever smacked my son once, when he was about 12 or 13 and had seriously crossed a bunch of lines. I regretted doing so immediately, as I had only done so as I had lost my temper. I had a very long chat with him afterwards and explained and apologised for my actions. Thankfully, he got the message and was far more well behaved thereafter.

My dad used to lay into me for just about any infringement and I hate him to this day for it. My two kids are now good and decent adults and we still have a warm and loving relationship.

In conclusion, I have to say I do not agree that you need to hit your child to instill discipline. A good and meaningful discussion of the incident and the reasons why the actions were wrong, stays in their mind far longer than the pain of a spanking, and is more likely to earn their respect in the long run. They are also far more likely to be truthful about an incident when they are not in fear of a beating. There are other punishments that can be meted out that have better results. Grounding, loss of allowance etc.

Well said mate, explain to them why it's wrong to do certain things, apply sanctions if necessary, remove phones computers etc.

A "clip round the ear" is just trying to downplay domestic violence

Years ago I was in a hotel inPattaya on the top floor where all the other guexts were apparently Russian.

They would all leave at the same time in the evening and arrive back sometime in the early hours and without exception would all slam the bedroom doors causing disturbance eery night.

So, yes, door slammers are a bloody nuisance with no respect for others.

Why are designers not able to make doors that close quietly?

Russians are definitely the worst offenders, they hate everyone including other Russians

You did not say you were English. Where did I say you were English?  Your recursive transgressions only serve to light up your own insular cortex. Have a Singha and chill.

It was my post that you criticised suggesting the English were worried about grammar, thus insinuating that I was English. You are just spouting gobbledegook , perhaps you should have a singha and put the dictionary away

Why its hurting some viewers? If the news is correct he should be exposed and get punishment period. It seems any damn news about African, Asians, Indians, Arabs some of the readers cant control their temptations of writing silly comments,

It is about paedophiles not Africans, Asians, Indians, or Arabs. This is a forum and by definition invites peoples opinions whether you like them or not ...

I was thinking as I read the story 'I want to believe that this happens everywhere, I want to believe that it isn't some deeply ingrained problem in the Thai male physche.' I'm just not sure if I can though. ?

 

I remember I was sitting eating in a food court once when I saw two kids (a girl and a boy) messing about with a water fountain. The dad came up to the two kids and smacked the girl shouting at her to stop. He did nothing to the boy. Sad.

Same in the Indian culture, females are second class citizens

England is bankrupt, in austerity, in social crisis, the pound devalues, governed by idiots...and the English worry about Grammar.

No not worried ! Just don't like to see ignorance, especially when it's arrogant ignorance ..... When did I say I was English ?

Yes, moronic indeed, but he's not the only one on this forum that thinks, should of, would of, could of, is English......you know who you are mate ! Can't say any more

I've certainly never been fingerprinted entering or leaving Thailand and I certainly don't recall being fingerprinted entering or leaving Cambodia and I have been there many times.  Maybe it's a new thing, I haven't been there for a year or so?

How can anyone be so stupid its been going on for years

Yes, some people are naive, too trusting, perhaps even child-like in their judgement of others, but the law exists to protect such people from predatory scum like this

Bar tabs (in my travels) were/still are used across Europe, UK, Nth Sth & Central America. I’m yet to travel to Africa and I never saw any bars in the Middle East. Therefore, apart from Australia & NZ, the VAST MAJORITY of bars world-wide would have a tab system.

 

Not UK, unless you mean restaurants

I'm pleased to hear that one or two have stayed behind to fight for their country, rather than leading cushy lives in Europe as refugees

Well done my friend keep it up, cold turkey is the only way. Chewing gum can be your best friend for a while because you will be tempted to snack, but you can lose those extra pounds slowly unlike the evil nicotine ...
