Rosa Parks would be turning in her grave hearing this.  

Just because someone "can" do something doesn't make it right.

I fail to see how this is a problem.

Many bars do not let them in either, because we don't want to drink with them.

I said to a bargirl once, 'Why do you keep the blacks out?' and she said 'Because if Farang see African man, he not come in'.
I said 'Yep, you're right'.

All they do is try and sell me cocaine, and try to 'look after me' on Sukhumvit. It gets quite tiring.

I agree this story is VERY SUSS- Daily Mirror is obviously Pro-UK and Anti-Thai... NO WAY did he get the cooperation of the local VILLAGE POLICE to steal the boy back from the mother. Trust me I been in the situation and if the Mum does not wish you to see the child u have no HOPE.

He MUST have received  court order by a Thai Judge to retrieve his son. The Mum obviously did not bother going to court when summoned, so she lost her child. Only a Mum who does not really give a dam would not show up. Yet a Mum who really cares regardless of her material wealth can have a HUGE extended family who Love the child.

If no court order then some corrupt police being paid off and the mother not in or could not be bothered to put up a fight...

Very one sided article- just goes to show you hown many people whom live here do not really know the country. As I found with the first dozen odd comments until came to the above reasonable unbaised view.

The UK guy could have seeked to get back the son only out of revenge and he an unemployed drunk- Who knows... He would have been annoyed to see his X on facebook with the French BF- revenge is a key motive.

Looking through Facebook I think I can see girl mentioned- as who has not done this easy task to an X if they born in the last half a century. Thanks for the details of your X- no privacy for Thais. Maybe she can get a few more dozen dates now- Lol.   Lets get her view is what I say- interview her!!!

First of all, I believe the story is from the Daily Mirror newspaper (I use that term gaurdedly) which has a proven dislike for anything Thai. See previous posts...in which simply living in Thailand is equated with living in "squalor" also by the Mirror.
Secondly, I don't disagree that the child may be better off financially and for lifestyle advantages in the U.K. I have no information regarding the child except what I read in this news story...so I assume that the boy is happier in the U.K. However, there is no proof of that is there? Just the word of the Daily Mirror and it's anti Thai bias to go on.
The point I want to make is that this story just automatically assumes that his MOTHER, being Thai, is somehow less likely to love the boy than her FATHER (who being a Brit is naturally superior to her). To be fair, for all I know she may be a true B_tch...but there is no proof of that.
I'm not quibbling here, but simply making the assumption that the boy living in the U.K. seperated from his mother, will automatically be happier than living in Thailand is something that may be an assertion...but requires proof to be true.

Are you for real?

The good thing about Thailand is the somewhat escape from western Political Correctness.

Come to Thailand, forget feminism, enjoy femininity.

Another step in the right direction. Smoking should be banned from all public places, it is a filthy and disgusting habbit

Oh hel_l no.

Drop the attempts at political correctness Thailand. It doesn't suit you.

I'll respect this smoking ban about as much as I respect any smoking ban.
