spending time with Thai family in Pattaya

[Jello]

Come to think of it he's has got a bit of business sense and knows a bit about electronics.hes only 13 but has managed to build a tattoo gun and is the local tattooist for all the kids in his village.as for threatening him to have him enlisted ill leave that in the hands of Buddha.

Business sense, electronic knoledge, and artistic abilities. Not bad for 13!
Encourage him to build on those positive interests and try to keep him away from negative influences. I know, hard to do at that age. I didn't listen to anyone's advise after about 13 years old. Thought I had it all figured out already, but I was thick as a brick.

I don't see why military service should be viewed negatively. I don't know what being in the Thai military is like, but I know many guys in the west who had trouble during their youth get their life on track after going into the service. Myself included.

am again thankful for alot of you guys honesty. Hey guys. come on, we have all lost something. Because these Thai beauties are so precious to "some of us". The love and quality they give to us, no american, brit or whatever can give.
Theres is a quote I learned about years ago" Kill them with love". I say this with much experince and belief in what I say.
My wifes Mother has about 700 Rai in Bandung and Nong Kai. They usually get together every April for family and to decide new investments. years ago hey asked if I wanted to get into a deal with building Townhouses, across from Tesco in Bandung. My answer was, NO My answer came from , the falong will always lose and you cannot fight it. They will always win. After 6 years the other children (she had 11 children) built up huge debt. and one by ore they devised a plan to get everyone involved, to change the ownership of the land from "free land given to help people, to separate titles for each rai.. Those titles changes have been made. the indebted children will borrow or sell what ever they need to get there butt out of trouble, The History of mom & Dads legacy will be wipe out.
I once flew to Thailand to meet "beautiful" Thai lady from ")Chilom, I think). She had a homeshare apartment building, she hired a Burmesse slave girl who was paid about $100 per month. To do "every thing, cook all meals, Take care of all 12 apartments and basically, do every thing.
She was a good looker. had property all over phuket. One day she had an offer from some french men, for her property overlooking Patong beach, high up on the hill. She told me , she could not sell the land because it was "for Thai people' only". Then she looked at me and said "I know someone who can change the documents." She was so happy because with a little "donation"" she was able to sell the hill top resturante to some french men who got cheated.
Let me explain : Kill them with love! This means always offer them fruit or vegitables when they come over, offer to fix their truck (or car) if you can, always say thankyou. Khrup khun ma Kup, and take their hand with BOTH of your hands and look them in the eye and say "thankyou!
My wife just told me I am the No-! Falomg they like, because i always respect then, share with them, trys to help them with their problems and is always here to help them...not with money, but with information and the bet way to do your businesss.and win.

Quoting what I did in another country was only to emphasis the point that it takes some folk time to find there feet in life , work a bit of nonsense and hopefully learn from it , some will continue on that path until they end up dead or in jail, but time will tell.

I hope this kid avoids the pitfalls and makes a decent life for himself.
