As Clint Eastwood said, "If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster".
I substantially helped raise 3 children via-step-parents arrangements. We're all 100% estranged. It's the outcome about 95% of the time: they stick with Mom -and Mom is done with you.
You will indeed be forgotten. It's nothing personal. That child will not be at your death bed. Be grateful for the love experience and get on with your life.
As to the rest of it, if you move to a poor, ultra-traditional place, there's going to be a lot of pettiness, resistance to outsiders and generalized, poor education dysfunction.
Hello? You moved to the Buddhist equivalent of the Bible Belt? I lived in Appalachia and I had all of the same complaints, except for the kiddy-fiddling part (but with Baptist dry drunks -who knows?).
Still banging the same drum, I see. Totally blind comments.

What was your salary as the King's wardrobe attendant....? ????
As someone clearly still living in the middle ages it was likely not much more than a couple of great.
No wonder he has the hump with the monarchy. ????????????

I believe your referring to my point how Isaan Mothers like to get involved with your kid.
At the start of this happening I would indulge these women and really saw nothing in what they were doing as a problem. But After a while and especially recently I have seen it not so much as taking an interest but total outright nosiness to the point of invasion of privacy.
Take yesterday for example. It was so hot and about 11am little Dang and I popped out to the outskirts of the village to my Favourite Noodle shop. Ah ! Closed ! So we head into town. We found a noodle shop in the shade. I ordered guay Dtee-ow noodles in ‘ Good Thai ‘. To allay any confusion I even said “ 1 bowl 60 baht “ while Dang sat down.
We sit down waiting and over walks another lady who works in the shop. Another slightly fat late forties died hair no smile and looks like a handful in an argument. She points at Dang and asks in the local language “ what’s he having ? “ I answered “ I’ve ordered already “ She has another go and I reply again “ I’ve ordered already “ Much to the enjoyment of the sitting local patrons. She got off. I stopped ordering food he doesn’t eat a while back and the cheek of these restaurants I go to with Dang who want to provide a tiny five years old with a full bowl of noodles galls me. Sixty baht is no small amount for people on 300baht a day when they get work. So I see it as a total liberty and 9iss take. He can pick at mine while he plays Minecraft on his phone.
Dang sees a kid who belongs to the family of the shop so as usual end up going over and playing. It wasn’t long before the investigation starts. The word Falang came out of her mouth a couple of times and I could hear Dang giving all the usual answers in order as she progressed her interrogation in hushed tones. I called over in Thai “Mai Dtong Dtorp!” With a chuckle.
We later ate again in another shop and again he got the third degree from another old Isaan Hag. They always want to know the village and the mothers name. I can understand making conversation, which they would Not do with the child of a Thai man in their shop but why do they need to know his moms name. I put my hand up like a police man halting 3 lanes of traffic as she started her questioning, she sheepishly skulked off. She knew that carrying out a full probe about my private life is not polite but they really think it’s not a problem if you can’t understand.
But that’s what they’re like.
So far in this topic, every incident that occurs is the other person's fault.
Nothing to do with culture, the way people are, curiosity or YOU.
Time to take a long hard look at yourself. You clearly misunderstand most situations and are living in a life you don't understand. At 5 years old the boy will live on and move on. Object permanence is already present in his mind but can be lost over time. You said he foesnt speak English. You can't be having that much of an effect on him. He will move on and so should you. (If any of your tales actually occur).

That is rubbish. I've been there, and I found it absolutely boring. But if you like to live, like the OP wrote, on a farm there or in the sticks, go for it!
You clearly have not kept up with the posts on the thread and are basing your comments on a visit you made.
When did you visit Isaan and how long did you stay? Which province did you stay in?

Some people love to live on a farm in Thailand's Northeast, others want to move to North Korea, or the desert. Good for you if this is your thing...
That still doesn't explain why you wrote a load of rubbish about Isaan when it seems you've likely never even been there.

13 minutes ago, StayinThailand2much said:Must be very lonely and boring, a bit like living like a monk in a far-away area, unless you can make friends with local people. Living on a farm or house (who owns it?) far from big supermarkets, and restaurants serving Western food, you would possibly need to get used to mostly eating local food, only watching Thai TV, and having slow internet. Can't imagine why one would do this.
I think you are out if touch with the development of the North East region of Thailand.

I was once on a first name basis with Nobby, the Germanic smoke house god in Nong Khai, In a perfect world, he'd weigh in.
Such a good basis you got his name wrong.????????????????.
His name was Norby. I knew him when he was in Surin.

You obviously haven't read the report.
Instead, as usual, you jump on the anti government band wagon. In fact, so much so I guess you are driving. ????????

Thai citizens living and working in the UK have access to FREE medical care.
Only if they have progressed as far as ILR or if they work in health care or for NHS.
Those on spouse visa or FLR need to pay in excess of £1600 for NHS cover every 2.5 years.

The rote style of teaching, probably used by 80% of teachers in Thailand, will be easy to replicate with AI.
Other forms of teaching,dare I say the correct ways; asking questions, inviting questions, learning by doing, are not so easy to do.

In none of these studies had the trans participants undergone hormone therapy. This parameter was established so as to preclude any effects on the structure of the brain.
In this one they started with a normalizing process that was 305 women and 242 men. A normalizing process is one in which norms are established. In this case the norm for cisgender men and cisgender women. Once that was established 24 cisgender men 24 cisgender women and 24 transgender women had their brains scanned.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8955456/
this one used 40 transgender adolescents and 39 cisgender adolescents
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306453017305590?via%3Dihub
This one had 29 trans men and 17 trans women
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hbm.25905
How many of those scanned had abnormalities with regards to their sexuality?

And you have proof of its rarity? Although the fact that you used "may" indicates that you've got nothing.
Whereas scienitist who actually imaged the brains of people who said they were transgender, found significant discrepancies between their biological sex and the gender they felt they really belonged to.
How many people were involved in these brain scans?

You were more than asking questions, you made a statement:
That is a fact. I will make statements when there are facts to back them up.
The post I was referring to was full of questions.
It's quite amazing that, whilst showing 2 sides of this complicated case, whilst constantly stating I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with any part, whilst never having stated what side of the fence I am on, I'm accused of all sorts of things.
Criminology is fascinating. How different criminal minds work is fascinating. How the system has changed is interesting. The way criminals were diagnosed mad and how they were treated in asylums is tragic.

While either he did or he didn't, make your mind up
Did or didn't what?
No need for me to make my mind up. I've been asking questions. No one has been answering do it seems no one has made their mind up, with the exception of one poster who refuses to see both sides.

Whether or not they believe the lawyers case is a deflection is utterly irrelevant to the fact your latest response is another attempt at deflection.
No need for them to "believe" the lawyer. He us telling the truth. He's not allowed to lie. It's a matter of how the parole board balance the appeal for parole.
It's the fact that I have the ability to see things both ways that appears something you cannot comprehend.
Nothing I have written is untrue or "false" as you have suggested. I'm purely showing both sides of the situation.
If you want to believe I'm deflecting, that's fine. Even though your accusations are a result of a blinkered view.

I did get it wrong that you claimed 18 years. I believe it was only 12. That said your contention that has served 18 years more than the total of sentence is false. All this other stuff about the merits of his case is a deflection.
I hope the parole board don't erroneously believe the lawyers case is deflection. It is all part of the law in UK.

While he's never been charged with an attempt to kill according to his own confession in his book:
"I was killing a man before their very eyes and getting away with it. His whole body was shaking like he was having a fit. I heard the death rattle. His face had turned blue, his eyes were bulging and his tongue hung down on his chin. This monster was on his way out and I felt so happy. He was getting off lightly for what he had done to that little girl."
MAD, BAD & DANGEROUS: I saw his eyes bulge as I choked life out of monster.. it felt so good.
Strange he was never charged for it. Did he exagarate it in his book for effect? He says "before their very eyes". Whose eyes? Maybe the prison officers allowed it to happen. The victim was a peado. Wouldn't be the first time they've turned a blind eye to such things. Ian Huntley was attacked even though he was supposed to be in isolation.
