My wife is Thai, and missed her family/where she grew up, so we moved to Thailand 6 years ago.
Now we have a son, and we’re planning to move back to Australia in the next couple of years. Thailand is an interesting place to live but I can’t imagine trying to raise a child through to the end of school (with western concepts/mindset) here.

- stephenr 8y agoI've tried a couple of times to write a reply that sufficiently explains our concerns, without writing a novel about life in Thailand. Unless you live like a hermit, you can't be the sole influence on a child - they will learn things from their school, relatives, etc. If you really want to know more, send me an email and I can expand some more, but it's generally along the lines of even the most basic concepts of safety/precautions/thinking ahead, combined with not expecting women (be it your sister, gf, wife, etc) to be your own personal obedient slave.
