Moving on. At present Iīm thinking a lot how her parents will react, what they will say, do and think - in short : the societal ramifications.
Now, Iīve read a lot about Luk Kreung babies in Thailand the last few days, there seems to be a certain ambivalence towards them. On the one hand they are seen as very handsome and are employed a lot in the entertainment sector (Tata Young). On the other hand, though, there are many prejudices towards them and their mothers who by some are seen as "loose" women. Racism, too, apparently is a factor here. Some thai people regard these children as "impure", as a threat to "their" race. This of course is complete nonsense but I canīt help wondering how the people in Laos will react, in a country which has (until now) had only a very few number of Fallang-babies. What do you think?
Iīve met my girlfriends parents before, by the way, and my impression was that they were very warm and friendly albeit seriously conservative / traditional.
This, too, worries me, as they may regard it as a shame that their unmarried daughter is awaiting a child by a fallang...hmmm.
My teeruk claims to be sure that itīs going to be a girl. Iīm not so sure but Iīve begun thinking about a name anyway (Seemingly itīs the duty of the father to name the child in Laos, or so she told me...)
Thatīs all for now - Chock Di,
Ampoliros
