I think you have detected some of the issues a Luk Krueng child or adult will have now but would also hope as multi culturalism creeps in that more tolerance of different races is more the norm.. Think that any late teen now was born in the late 80's.. How different was the country then and how rare were the farangs that were the fathers ??

I think I will choose a compromise of sorts. I will maintain her and the baby financially while I finish my studies and then IŽll move to Los. Simple as that. I think I will be able to adapt pretty easily.....because I like the Los very much and am kind of a tolerant character.
worries me.. what do you intend to do for money.. Working in Thailand is not easy, the only well paying gigs are being transfered in by a multinational even skilled work in BKK is usually not high paid.. With no experience in the workplace and no startup capital (I am assuming) how are you intending to 'come to LOS and adapt' life here is cheap but you will still need a min of about 1k Euro's a month.. Then you need to consider saving for your future, your childs education, medical coverage, etc etc.. I see people come here with a few million baht thinking they are going to retire.. Couple of years later its gone..

Not trying to scare you but providing for a family will be hard enough... Providing for one and getting a job to pay that in Thailand (and have what we consider an acceptable standard of living) is very very tough for a farang..
