Which is the better school out of these 2, for a 13 year old British kid looking to do GCSE's in the very near future. Does one have more western students than the other .... better quality of teachers .... best facilities etc... Any input is appreciated .

I have from time to time gone out without ID, such is my reckless nature, at least i know if i cop it without ID whilst in Thailand, i'll get ripped apart on this here forum.

Odd that they done it whilst knowingly recording themselves giving him the beating of his life. Its as if they've done it before and got away with it, as the victim didn't die. Western world has imploded and its getting worse.

Why are politicians and their placemen the ones who can decide on whats harmful? A couple of years ago, i got a call from my kids headteacher as my then 10 year old daughter wrote BLM/LGBTQ is a load of nonsense in her jotter. On the call I informed the teacher she's merely repeating what i said. At that point the teacher jumped on her high horse and started accusing me of having extremist views. The private conversation with my daughter in relation to LGBTQ, was about her 10 year old friend who had recently moved school, and was in an online relationship with a 10 year old who decided they were the opposite sex. When i were a lad calling this kind of odd behaviour nonsense would have been the norm, yet in 2020s England my views are deemed extremist by the left who are now running the planet. Those "insert swear word" should never be choosing what is harmful and what is not.

The DEMS/REPS and LAB/CONS are all the same. Its those voting for them that are the problem.

As i say above its past time the government done something about soi dogs and neutered /vaccinated every single one of them. Spend all the billions on mask which just stop others knowing you've bad breath, but nothing about a societal problem causing injury and disease thats in plain sight.

Can see this post is a few years old .... however as a great push up strengthening exercise, that we used to do in boxing training. Do 1 push up, rest for a few seconds then do 2 push up, rest for a few seconds, then 3 push ups, then rest , then 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 whilst resting for several seconds in between ..... all the way up to 10 push ups. Then rest for several seconds and do 9 push ups, then 8, then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 .... all the way back down to 1 push up. Sounds ever so easy, until you try it!

My family and friends who can be relied upon to look after a dog for a few months don't exist, only person i can wholly rely on is me! Ive lived in Thailand before and have visited frequently since 2000, so i'm fairly familiar with the place, though i can see from the responses that those dopey Soi dogs may ignore almost all the time, but will be awakened by a King Charles wagging his tail in their manor. Never quite understood why in the last few decades of BKK resembling a 1st world city, it hasn't become govt policy to neuter/spray every soi dog and cat. Seems they've left it to a few charitable foreigners to do it for them. https://www.soidog.org/content/spay-neuter-and-vaccination-cnvr

Thanks for you comment. As i say we'll be going out for 6 months, and if it is too much then we'll go back to England. I do realise its not ideal, if i knew it was a possibility that we'd have moved to Thailand in the future i wouldn't have bought him. Type of dog he is, means he is exceptionally attached to myself and child, hence giving him away before we've even tried would also not be in his interest.

I wouldn't give him away, without giving it a try, people do live in hotter weather with dogs so it is possible. To avoid him being in "major discomfort", it'll be early morning and evening walks, with aircon on in the rooms he occupies, when he's in the house. I bought the dog and its my responsibility to look after him, so we won't be giving him away; we're looking to move to BKK for a 6 month initial period, and the dogs comfort is one aspect we will be taking into consideration as to whether we will stay longer. Many people have dogs as pets in Bangkok, whilst i'm aware its not ideal, it seemingly can be done without the dog suffering, if the owner is responsible.

So you've been bitten once, as i have, fortunately the dog only bit my jogging bottoms then buggered off. Hence the comment "often docile street dogs" is pretty accurate based on my experience.

Thanks for you comments, much appreciated. Ive a kid and a dog to look after on my own so used to life giving challenges, I wont be working in BKK, so i one thing i will be looking for is somewhere that soi dogs are at a minimum. Gated communities seemingly keep street dogs out, or to a bare minimum, priority is is to find such a place so the dog can get out first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Cheers for the tips on the temperature of the ground, plan is to be up at the crack of dawn for a 20/30 min run/walk, and again when its dark, and run the aircon all day for him.

Have you got a link to this, ive emailed Thai Air, and what i thought was the govt agency who would assist with this and have had no response. Must be (not) working from home!

Wherever we live in BKK, plan is to get a house/townhouse, but renting with a dog is not going to put me to the top of the list of being able to pick and choose. Realise its not ideal to bring a King Charles to Bangkok it was never the plan to move there when we got him, but life is what it is and he'll be looked after to the absolute best of my ability; though i've a 2 legged creature to look after who is my priority. Ive seen people walk dogs in Bangkok, without being hassled by soi dogs, no doubt other times they do hassle them, will figure things out as i go. Can also get a treadmill or just got out for 2 x 25 minute runs per day, to keep us both in trim. For me heat is more the issue, than worrying about often docile street dogs.

Thanks much appreciated. Dog is 8KG. Thai Airways have a list of dogs that are banned from going on their flight, and King Charles Cavaliers are not on there. https://www.thaiairways.com/en_IN/plan/travel_information/pet_travel.page

Thanks, is there a list of what vaccines that are required as i cant see anything on the Thai embassy website. Also how is your dog doing as obviously the heat of Bangkok is a worry, was looking to walk him early morning and late evenings.

Ive a King Charles Cavalier, and i'm looking to bring it to Thailand later on this year should we decide to move. Could anyone tell me the procedure to undertake this task without using an agency as they seem to cost a fortune. I contacted the Thai embassy in London, but havent heard back. Any helpful advice appreciated.
