Minburi low-cost hobbies for a 4-year old boy

Minburi low-cost sports hobbies for a 4-year old boy.

 

Anyone living in Minburi or has Thai-skills to Google a bit? One factory working, tired single mom is in trouble trying to find a low-cost hobby for her son, who just turned 4, in Minburi. I want to help her by asking here. Do you know any football, swimming, tae kwon do, Muay Thai, Judo, whatever other sports hobby for her son in Minburi? The son is in a nursery school now.

 

The mom had asked around and was asked 4000b for 12 swimming lessons. Please, let's try to help her this way. I wish I could give her some ideas and options to consider for her son to get some activities, learn new skills and maybe get new friends.

Man o Man : "Tae Kwon Do"for a 4 yr old.???? When I was his age I was given  some pencils and a colouring book and spent ages just lying on the floor with them. Mind you--- Teach him how to fight will put him top of the class later on in life when he joins a school gang and goes out on the streets looking for a fight !!!!!.

Yachting and polo. It's all relative.

Here's a club that offers 10 swimming lessons for kids for 2000B, in Minburi. Cost of pool entry is extra:

Here's an enquiry on the 'panthip' website from someone looking for lessons for a four-year-old, same as the OP, and some suggestions.

Second reply on the panthip site above gives free lessons but I don't know how convenient to get to:

Maybe follow this path too:

Finally, try copying and pasting this sentence into Google search, see what results you get:

Thanks, the swimming link, she had asked about that 2000B earlier she had heard about, but it had turned into 3500b / 10 times which is too expensive for her. Sounds expensive to me too. That is why I thought that the same money could be used for football, martial arts to buy many more hours and become a hobby.

 

We'll keep looking and I try to dig deeper into the links you gave. For the earlier replies; yea, the toys are in order. This was my idea, trying to give her ideas. Get her son something to put his energy into, except the legos and maybe make some new friends.

 

Kids 'TKD has really nothing to do with "real" TKD, but kids are together, they play around and do it in a TKD-gym. Often it is weird to notice, atleast here in Europe that those who went to train martial arts as kids are not likely the ones bullying around as teenagers. That kind of hobbies are good for kids, if the teachers / higher belts know what they are doing. Same goes with kids' judo. Discipline, not soloing etc.

Has she asked you for money yet?

[MikD]

Not yet, in fact she hasn't asked for anything yet. Just wanted to give her some new ideas. Thanks for your concern.

How about a cowboy outfit - the Thai police springs to mind.

[MikD]

Good ideas. I thought about horse back riding too. But not sure about the allergies. However she's searched the texts and links in PerkinsCuthbert's post. They'll be fine.

 

I thank you all for your kind help!
