  1. Yeah, well the police set up tents on Thai public holidays and sure they do not breathalize then and perhaps the should on drivers every day but it would work as be too lazy to carry it out
  2. Hi I tried to do a search for this and basically starting again Apart from the very expensive channels are there any channels that streamline tefootball in Thailand Thanks all
  3. We has a great discussion on is it me yesterday and keep the nice ones and hopefully locke the bodies and there is some scum on here and no moderators but also some ecnt ones too.
  4. Yeah lol agreed and sort of starting from scratch and had so many nasty posters but thereare indeed very nice people on here too tc all
  5. There are some wonderful Thais tbf and our latest Daughter-in law is brilliant as is her family and yes feel I have 2 wonderful families. Appreciate another wonderful post from you. Just enjoy lol but I do and wish you all good ok Thanks mate
  6. stevemercer The best post by a country mile and thanks so much but have chosen to ignore the vile trash of some members but again there are great ones who give advise. Thanks again mate
  7. Thanks fotr that and i Have been using Google but very rarely use it except one person and apologise in advance if translated incorrectly and of course speaking words high or low tones of course means a totally different meaning. I as just pointing out the cultural differences and no way am I complaining and have a loving Thai family. Thank for post appreciate it
  8. No they are fine an express it in other ways and we have raised them from 2 years old and they are well looked after but it is the cultural thing and LOL do not need lectures tc now. My wife is very loving and yes of course speaks to them in Thai, as outside the school they do not use or confident to use it and why not it is not their first language. Just please and thank you on occasions but the younger one does a lot!!! When a long time ago they were cuddled and kissed and went swimming and trips but they grow up fast and like to do their own thing but can not as they have no money and no way am I complaining but many of us have not got pots of gold.
  9. Thanks thailand 49 Very thoughtful and great post and thank you no, I was not ranting it is just some things we noticed and yes, I was only stating what our Thai Daughter in Law was asking my dear wife. Yes love them dearly of course but yes bite your tongue you still need to speak up at times but lol selective hearing. It is funny but our Son-in- Law who works away a lot with the Electric company is why do his Daughters (well really our daughters as we have raised them) only speak when they want money or want some food etc etc? Yes, Thai logic but I was not in the least complaining and yes the younger one now 17 does say please and thank you and the elder sometimes. My wife is very understanding and understands a fair bit of English and I only have a few words of Thai but boy have I tried and like the girls learn English but outside the class they simply do not use and yes it is not their language. Yes, even after 16 years it is still puzzling LOL
  10. NO you never do anything wrong right cut the snide remarks and trying to block many of you who eimply very nasty go and play with your toysok

  13. wHAT A PATHETIC POST AND NO WHERE NEAR IT AND SUGGEST BUGGAR OFF WITH YOUR PATHETIC COMMENT
  14. Will B good Yes, I was trying to explain that our Daughter-in-law who is Thai asked my wife questions relating to myself and do I say these things and yes my wife does in English. I was pointing out that our Grandchildren and friends also do they say good morning or good night and it appears they do not. Also, do they say please and thank you, but the latter they do either in Thai or English which of course is not their native tongue? Yes, I often state I love you and I get a reply from my lady likewise The point I was trying to make anything could happen in a minute to any of us and God forbid anything or killed on the roads or simply ill health, That was all and ignored those who were posting and giving me their "expert" opinion Thanks for your post
  15. Well said indeed and agin thanks and have a great evening tc pal
  16. bignok I do know some Thai but few words but thanks and obviously my Daughter in law was asking in Thai to my wife in Thai and then was explaining to forum in English. Thanks for your kind words and the the others can get lost.

  18. yOU AND eNGLISH TEACHER OR WHAT DO NOT LECTURE ME OK
  19. Hi all And sorry I cannot see a site for this but hope you do not shout me down. I have often asked my Wife and I know our latest Daughter- in -law has asked her if I say the following things:_ Yes, I guess it is slightly different here as against the West 1/ Does he say I love you sometimes or whenever he can 2/ Yes anytime say good morning and good night 3/ Do the children say this at all 4/ Please or thank you and yes even in their own language or in English 5/ They don't seem to say I love you 6/ How was your day? and so on and on The reason why I state this anything can happen to all of us in a split second and we all do take things for granted. For instance God willing in a tragic accident resulting in a death and sometimes and yes often include the Thais they seem not to talk, unless they want something ie money. However, we bring them up meaning Grandparents and treat them as our own. The parents are either at work or if lucky the blood Mother mother would bring them up and I know the Thai custom on this from a personal point of view is correct. Yes, indeed sometimes and this is worldwide the children only speak if they want money or are hungry and they forget who bring them up and teach them many things and LOL when anything technical like computers it is very easy for them but when we ask it has to be the right time for them, if lucky. Not ranting at all but as I say things can happen in an instant and believe it or not many are quiet and thoughtful and nothing wrong with that either Cheers Just sometimes I think the children take their elders for granted. Thoughts LOL could also put this up on the socials but would get told off lol.
