just from a fincial viewpoint. so those of you who dnto mind raising yr kids thai style, you dont mind them making 400$ a month and thats if they reel smart. dont thais have hard time getting good jobs in other countries.

of course naysayers will say it aint bout the money, bu to most it is bout the money.

true true

if they go to school in thailand they will only be able to hope for a 3 day vacation overseas and will not be able to get the pick of good jobs overseas when they look and see they went to a university in thailand and the west... but again many farang will have a boat full of excuses... one thing though is that these mixed high school male students are running through brothels like poop through a horse. many are 3 times a day'ers so they will not have any time to study. trust me, im a product of the international school system. we had a motto "coke and hookers 7 days a week"....

many many many many many married men love thailand because it is easy for them to have "relaxation time" away from home... i wonder how much of a part that plays into their desire to stay in thailand.

oops... about to strike some more nerves.... nothing hurts more than the truth, but who will admit it? no one of course.

"does it bother you that they will not be allowed to freely speak their mind"

"but I think when I was 16 it would have meant the world to me"

Tony, sorry, but this is as much a crock-of-sh*t as your other posts. My 2 daughters can speak their minds, they are at ages that it does mean the world to them, so for you in your great wisdom to say they can not is utter utter <deleted>. They may have to be careful in who's company they do comment on certain subjects, but this is all part of society in general no matter where you are. Just because they don't have a constitional right to say anything and do anything as you would have it, does not mean that they will grow up with different personalities as you idoitically suggest......

Tell me how they are going to be different!

Cheers to Lannabirth for a very common sense approach to this discussiom.

if what i said was wrong, it seems like you wouldnt have gotten so angry. your anger is a strong clue that i hit a nerve. and its great that your daughters say whatever they want, whenever they want just not at certain times or places.... hmm.... if it is true that the apple doesnt fall far from the tree, i dont think its going to matter where you raise your daughters. btw, can you send me a photo please if they are over the age of consent?

aren't those mail order bride, aka Love Links degrading to women (well, they are degrading to anyone who actually uses them).

the funniest is when you see farang and their dark skinned "wife" showing his parents around. bkk seems very hard for old people who arent used to big cities.

reading this board, over and over again farang are expressing their dislike of Thai Hiso. Can you explain why this is exactly? I am sure you can find many faults with Isaanites as well as Thai Hiso, but farang seem to have much kinder attitudes towards Isaan peoples as opposed to wealthy Thai Hiso.

is that really a Thai custom? sounds more like a kid being rude. I have not seen thais take food off someone's plate that is not being shared in the middle.

tax that ass

when you have kids she is probably gonna raise them with all that village voodoo.

i am only 22 years old and very attractive will they allow me to study or will be a distraction to the female students? and what am i allowed to wear while doing yoga?

thank you

you guys take taxis. thats lo-so.

thank god. i really love this song and i hope i can will still be able to hear it a hundred and fifty times or more a day.

nidge,

what is that thing in your avatar?

edit: nevermind, i adjusted the lighting in my office and figured it out.

lodes,

that was deep.

since the King's birthday passed, was that song supposed to be leading up to it, and now they will stop playing it as often, or are they still going to play it as often? thank you.

one thing though about raising high schools kids here is that a couple that i meant were on the fourth trip to a VD clinic.

well said markwhite, plus your son will be getting all kinds of tail by the time he is able to get a boner.

no, the topic is about raising kids in a country where you cant openly speak your mind. so the fact that thailand is #165ish worldwide in individual freedoms of course matters.

saying that you will raise your kids to be open thinkers is nice, but they still wont be able to freely express those thoughts.

does it bother you that they will not be allowed to freely speak their mind on various subjects in Thailand? When I was in high school, I went through that 'question everything' phase and i can see a lot of young people being frustrated when they are told 'because i said so'.

This doesn't bother me living in Thailand because I am rich now, I understand human nature and government a little better, and its not my country so I really don't care, but I think when I was 16 it would have meant the world to me... but maybe your kids will grow up with a different personality than myself and not being able to speak their mind or question things will not bother them.

looking for price and location and preferablely hot (asian) female teachers. pm me or respond here.

swiss cheese asap

next time i will remind all those thai families and individuals i see dropping money in the tip box that they are demeaning the staff.

I am going to get a tattoo of the outline of Surin on my chest and the word Ping on my heart because she is my sole mate and i am getting 'i love the king' tattooed on my back and i am getting a jatukram tattoo on my neck where it would hang.

These statements about Americans being sad and lonely are just silly. Did you go around and interview all 300 million Americans?

There is always some sick desire by some farang to paint poor Thais as spiritual enlightened beings, when in reality it is the complete opposite. They are less spiritual and intelligent than richer Thais. They live a meager life style because they have no other choice.

"They are poor, but at least they are happier than Americans" -- I don't see any factual basis for this statement. The Thais, the ones working slave like jobs and standing in store isles, they look like zombies, not the enlightened happy beings that you describe.

Many of you guys want to pretend you are a part of some 1950's sub culture because you have an elevated social status in this country or something. Like everyone is watching you. They arent. You are just another farang, whether you wear the shirt or not.

Says the 45 year old man who thinks a 19 year old student should fall over in gratitude because he asked her out, and who measures his worth in what he can benchpress . . . .

It was...
