How much sin sod for 28 yo single mom of 2 Bangkok suburb (Rangsit)
That sounds strange to me. What is the idea about getting kids for as cheap as possible? Then, what do you do with the kid(s)? Who will raise them? Who will pay for their school? Will they have only a father or also a mother? As far as I see raising kids properly is expensive, also in Thailand. Just the school fees for decent schools are scary. Keeping those future costs in mind 100k or 1m for the "production" of the kids is just a small part of the all over cost. -

Thai Government Vows Proactive Efforts to Safeguard Buddhism
File photo courtesy: Wikipedia To bolster Buddhism's standing and integrity in Thailand, the government has pledged a proactive approach in identifying and solving issues affecting the religion. This comes as a shift from reacting to problems only as they surface, which often happens when they capture public attention or complaints arise. Chousak Sirinil, a Minister at the Prime Minister's Office who oversees the National Office of Buddhism, has outlined decisive measures aimed at safeguarding the cherished religion. Crucially, this includes the proactive identification of issues before they escalate. One key area of focus is the prevention of illegal activities on temple grounds. The government aims to deter the use of these sacred spaces for illicit activities such as drug consumption and gambling. This enforcement ensures temples remain holy places rather than misused venues for unlawful behaviour. Furthermore, there will be a crackdown on conduct contravening Buddhist teachings. This includes stronger disciplinary actions against monks engaging in inappropriate behaviour, such as sexual misconduct or improper use of social media. Additionally, any spread of distorted interpretations of Buddhist teachings will face increased scrutiny and suppression. Efforts to protect Buddhism extend to legal measures as well. Impersonators posing as monks, a problem that tarnishes the religion’s image, will face stringent legal repercussions. In contrast, monks demonstrating good behaviour can expect heightened protection against any unjust treatment by others. To maintain the purity and dignity of those entering the monkhood, stricter vetting processes will be implemented to exclude undesirables. This ensures that only those committed to upholding Buddhist values will join the order. The National Office of Buddhism plans to establish a dedicated centre for receiving complaints, encouraging public engagement in protecting Buddhism's tenets. This opens a channel for citizens to participate actively in safeguarding their spiritual landscape. An additional initiative involves forming a new committee to address land disputes involving temples. Conflicts between Sangha monasteries and state land authorities have become a concern, and this move aims to resolve such issues efficiently. In summary, while the government's commitment to enhancing the protection of Buddhism in Thailand signals hope for preserving its integrity, it also involves a comprehensive and determined effort. Through better oversight and public involvement, Thailand aspires to shield its national religion from contemporary societal pressures and challenges. With the Thai baht giving an edge to these initiatives, equivalent to strengthening community ties that are essential in maintaining Buddhism's hallowed status, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-28 -
