Anyone know the quality of these tablets they are handing out?
What are the chances that pawn shops every where are soon over stocked with tablets?
I can see uncle Somchai pawning his newpews tablet so he has money for weekend whiskey

Exactly!!!
I saw a Thai tv program that was interviewing this age student about this program, asking them what they would do with a tablet if they got one. 95% said they would play games on it. It's not rocket science to figure out what children are going to do with them! I say somebody's got a vested interest in "giving" these tabs to children.....if you know what I mean?

If the woman has a son, run a mile. A daughter, fine.
I could write a book about the Thai stepson and the farang - I've known a few marriages that have split up because of them. Thai woman and sons are a classic case of co-dependency - their sons are never wrong. A couple of guys been physically abused, and most of them robbed constantly.
One mate paid the army to take his brat.
But, known many happy long-lasting relationships with girls.

Sounds exactly like my relationship--can I call it that(?), with my wife's son. The term co-dependency is right on the money and we almost split up because of him. A lot of Thai women will take care of Thai males forever, be it a son, a brother, cousin, nephew, whatever!
I love my wife with all my heart but the son has definetly tested our relationship. If something happened to her or we split up I would never ever ever have another Thai woman with kids, there's too much of a cultural gap to overcome.
We've been together going on 20 years now and she also has a daughter that turned out great, no problems, masters degree works at Kasikorn bank.
My advice to someone getting ready to enter in to a situation like this is to seriously think about what you're getting into. I thought my wife's kids--son, would assimilate into a normal family life I was providing for them but didn't happen. Oh well, live and learn.
