For the nick you dont have much a feel for what is going on. 14 million people just voted for MF, 32 of 33 constituencies in Bangkok were taken by them. That is apathy? Give me a break. The people especially the young and educated woke up and voted for a big change.

A bit of research might have helped. Was on KP and both beaches 30 years ago. People knew then before the internet.

Lou I have seen a few other posters having a go at you. I now see why. Please dont try to read my mind or my motivation in posting. Deal with your own posts. Thanks. I also dont need your guesses. I prefer being on the mark rather than off.

You have anger issues. You have lashed out at several posters on here for simply questioning or offering advice you dont like. Its also quite clear you have some disdain for the Thai's, their language and culture. Your son sees this for sure. Remember he is half Thai. As for your not learning Thai that you would have to admit is your problem. Your wife and kids are bilingual and you are not. Think about this. We all have frustrating times here. Please remember you live in Thailand their mothers home, not back in your home country. You cant force love from a child. I hope you realize this.

Remember this is an Op Ed obviously written by a die hard Pheu Thai supporter. It should not be presented as "News".

Thanks for the detailed answer. In all honesty I would not look at your project due to the excessive and often inaccurate hyperbole. But thats just me.

Are you always this frazzled? What is a short temple school? And what are you on about kindergarten? This is age 3-5 or 6 in Thailand. Then there are 6 levels of Pratom or Primary, that she should finish at 12 or 13. Then she begins Mattayom or Secondary school until 18 or so. You dont even seem to know how schools here work. Not much more to say other than I am glad I am not in your shoes. Try to respect your wife a bit, you once did as you chose to marry her, always remember she is the mother of your kids and they need her love as well.

BS. The last 15 years I have had my hair cut by a great female cutter. After covid the prices went up to 120 for a shave and a cut. She is quite happy when I give her 150. Plenty of these all over Thailand. You just need to know where to look. I dont know of any long term residents who pay the price you quote. Most often the higher price is because they are in a mall or a pricy area. Lots of great barbers and stylists for the locals bro.

" Find out and discover a world of opportunity with Thailand Success Solutions! Founded by visionary entrepreneurs," Who are some of the visionary entrepreneurs who founded your organization, and what have they contributed to society at large? Thanks.

You call this short term? Wow.

Seems you run with a pretty low rent crowd there Con.

This is the problem. This kind of BS Math Program should never be allowed to start at primary school. Sorry but the problem is fully your wife. At your daughters age she should not have to go through this type of thing. My kids went to a great private primary school where they were taught to be good kids as much as learning. I would not want to be you in dealing with this problem. Best of luck but you have to stop it or you will see negative consequences in both physical and mental development.

They are saying 2028 but with double tracks and many tunnels it wont be. 2032 has a nice ring to it. Cant link the article I found but its the Post from two and a half years ago. Very little progress since then, which is a pity as it is a great idea.

Garlic bread??? ???? what a recommendation..

Ouch this is going to anger the husband of the woman in the car. Only going to make his mood worse.

So why dont they do that the first week back here? To me it seems much easier for they as Thai's to rectify the situation as they speak the language and still should know the culture. I can't figure out why they simply cant do this themselves, as its their country.

No they arent. Krung Thai Bank is the government bank. GSB is Government Saving Bank a rather smaller bank. You are the first foreigner I have know to have an account there,

The educated 18 to 30 year olds finally got out and voted. As it turned out millions of others found MF's message the right one. Not bought but earned. This is the best time in Thailand's modern history for a change. It will take time. The next elections will clinch it after growth is shown. The bottom line is that in Pita they simply have someone they can be proud of rather than embarrassed.

Way to sweeping and broad of a statement. Also think about the 14 million people who voted for MF. Please desist with the Thai's dont...... Even your analogy is silly. Thai's renovate their houses all the time. The same Thai's want the government reformed, hence the election results.

The old dinosaurs are reduced to throwing sh&t at the wall and seeing if it sticks. Literally beyond belief, fueled by brain dead hardcore loyalists. As an indicator of how popular this idea is just go to a movie, and see what happens now when the royal anthem is played.

Sorry mate, but this is Thailand. 18-25 for undergraduate studies. Not at all like the west.

Not in Thailand. Taught here for a long long long time.. Dont forget how young Thai's look and act in general.

Those in the photo are well over university age. Most in their 30's. So much for youth.

This is very true indeed. It also is the reason that the people who decide to stay and make Thailand their home in general move out of these areas. I have been in the northern Bangkok suburbs for over 30 years now and have many wonderful Thai friends. I look forward to getting up and joining my "walk/jog" gang at 630 am for our daily early exercise. Big smiles and hellos each day as we pass each others houses on our way to the park. I started out alone 7 years ago and now there are 20-25 people out daily. Something I do look forward to. Your life here is what you make of it. OP, You wrote: Time to move North. Try Chiang Mai / Chiang Rai. Unless things have drastically changed the past three years people are much nicer up there. I think it’s because it’s cooler or more Lao influence in the culture. This is a very good indication you have not taken the time to learn anything about Thailand or its culture. The north is from Lanna ancestry not Lao. The Lao influence comes from Isaan, the northeast of Thailand. Their foods and language are very different from each other.

So you were not looking for advice you were looking for someone who agreed with you. Well after one hundred posts you found one more sad guy who does not fit in here. Blames it on the people and the country. Sad indeed. Maybe you two can PM, meet up and bitch your days away. ????
