Thai men do not attend the birth, they sit in the waiting room playing with their mobile phones........ At least that was my experience when my son was born at the Korat Ratchasima Thonburi Hospital....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you will be there, he has asked you to drop in and say hello, as he can not make it due to work commitments. Please correct me if I am wrong Anyway, some answers for your friend. I just spoke to my thai wife and asked her the following. 1. Is a thai man allowed to see the birth of his baby in hospital. YES. 2. Does a Thai man have to pay the doctor to do this. NO 3. Is a Falang man allowed to see the birth of his baby. YES 4. Does a Falang man have to pay the doctor to do this. NO Now you may wonder why I asked about the Thai mans situation first. I find it puts everything into perspective in relation to the topic being discussed I actually actually do this a lot, and I always seem to get more coherent answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibites0 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Charley - tell him not to send any more money untill he see's the pic of an expanded belly and his Thai girl, you need a face pic with the belly so he knows it's her (ever heard of 419 scams? Here it's babies and sick 'kwai'), if he really loves her let him do what he wants to do because YOU will be the offender. If she's in a private hospital for the birth there will be a bill but there will be no extra for some 'father' attending and some Thai husbands do attend the birth. Think about it - a rich falang who's not here often and a Thai girl looking to make some money. Not to say she's ripping him of but just put some thought into it before sending the next £1000 by bank transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About things to do in Korat.Many things to do in and around,it is a large city.As you enter the city from the south on A2 to the left right before the MALL is a tourist office with a ton of info about Nakhon Ratchasima and the sorounding areas.Enjoy your time in Beautifull Issan.

Fried Rice Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hey Charley, I asked my GF who is a pharmacist in a Hospital and it is not a problem watching the birth. Only thing is you must get doctors permission. She has never heard of a fee for watching your/a child be born. My GF is also 5 months pregnant and insists that I be in the room during the birth. She made it sound like a very normal thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
