I currently think my wife is cheating on me, so, following this fine example, i telephoned her to inform her that i will be home at 12pm to check if she has someone with her.

[Thai woman challenges traditional roles with refusal to iron husband’s clothes]

My wife does my work clothes - sometimes i do it myself. The things some people find to argue over. 

I like how my wife - probably due to laziness on her part - taught our son to iron his school clothes. He washes, cooks and cleans so at least he s not incapable of taking care of himeself

 

[Are you having a Christmas Dinner today?]

at work - just had a burger king. my lad is on study break for school exams tomorrow - so he s home alone and just messaged me saying he had a mama cup. 

 

I teased him - told him about his English cousins having a big turkey dinner with lots of presents etc!!! I think that puts in bad Dad territory!!

[Are farangs inadvertently colonizing Thailand?]

I look at my own son, goes to a thai school, mixes socially with his Thai friends and enjoying life growing up in Thail;and. He has the option and passport to go and live in the UK sometime should he choose to do so. But let say he grows up, marries and has kids in Thailand, then my surname will prosper in Thailand and there will be more English blood mixed in with Thai blood. 

 

I wonder how many more western surnames will continue in Thailand, and how much western blood will be thrown into the mix. It can only increase really.

 

Same all over the world really. lots of foreign names and blood lines mixed in together

probably - I dont live in Pattaya. :)

 

I remember walking into a 7 11 near my home and the look of terror on the poor young lady serving at the prospect of having to deal with a farang turned, disarmingly, into a smile when i asked for cigarettes in Thai.

 

I think a lot of thai folk appreciate any effort to speak Thai by foriegners. I am nowhere near fluent by the way. I speak just the bare minimum to get by. 

[Do you ever get any negativity from the locals when you attempt to speak Thai?]

i get the opposite.

does anyone here know or guess why Elvis didn't come to Australia    ?

 

I think I read somewhere that his manager couldnt travel as he had no passport. Wasnt he Dutch?? I believe he was scared he wouldnt be allowed back into the US. I think Elvis only ever travelled to germany for military service and the occassional hop over to Hawaii. strange, seeing as he was the biggest star in the world.
