Here is a link to my website page dedicated to my son Ayden (Neo) His father is British and Mother is Thai...

nice pictures ........... I know what you mean, my baby boy does the same thing to my world .......

I believe he needs good people, examples and friends his age around him. As he is a good athlete I would suggest: teamsport!!! (in a camp, the muay Thai suggestion is also a good one, but that is not in a team)

watch this movie based on a real life story, it might give you ideas how to handle and prevent him from ending up in prison: Gridiron Gang

maybe the big guy was just hungry ...........

I noticed the development Samujana was advertising a recently completed house on one agents site for 85 million baht, on another agents site i noticed a resale of one of the homes from that development for a reduced for quick sale price of 52 million baht, obviously someone desperate for the cash trying to unload, probably at a loss.

Samujana's developers and others that own houses on the development must have choked when they saw the advert, even if they didn't expect to get 85m, if someone is selling a house almost the same for 52m it kind of kills the illusion that those homes are worth anywhere near 85m.

As for 'who would be stupid enough to buy million dollar homes on Samui'...believe it or not some people do like Samui and some of those people are wealthy enough to have a million dollar holiday home or first home in some cases ... but on the whole it's mostly investors looking for a good return and up until a couple of years ago going back several years they had very good returns, which is why the money kept flooding in. There is always going to be a point where the cycle of boom stops and collapses to some degree and there are always going to be the unlucky, the greedy or the stupid that get caught out when the collapse comes, the market will bottom out and the cycle of investment and boom will begin again much the same as it does in England and the States.

Could be a resale by owner and have nothing to do with the developer. I had a client like that and pointed out to him that on one site his villa was around 40 mill at another site it was 28 mill. He just changed his mind a lot as he didn't really want to sell it and told different agents different things. Not really a smart move.

That time my wife took some pictures of fences in the neighbourhood to see what we liked:

I'm ready to have a fence built on my house but I haven't seen a design I really like. So I'm asking TVers to post pictures of nice fences they have seen. Basically a concrete stailnless steel combination that are common throught Thailand. If I like the design and use it to build my fence I will send you 1000 Baht by whatever method is best for you. So post your pics and win! Contest ends September 15th.

Don't need the money but would like to have a beer if u are around. This is a pic of my fence at the end of the construction (last year):

If you pay her child support then they wont be living in poverty and I have to wonder what qualifications you have to say that abducting the child is better for him than staying with the mum. 3 sides to every story, hers, yours & the truth !

I was thinking the same thing. Okay, he would not be able to see his own son but I believe family values are thought here very well in Thailand. If I was in the same situation, I would pay child support, but thats just because I know my son will be taken care of very good here. I do not want to raise my son back home where everything is consumed by materialism and money and where too many young kids are too spoiled and do not have respect for anything anymore ........

Like others say, it depends on a few factors.

I got my Chanote for 850 sqm (just over half a rai) a couple of years ago at 85,000 THB. It is 17km outside CR in a small village, paved road, electricity, next to a school, just under 1km from main road.
