But not all, as if the father is a drunk and alcoholic, there is ways to arrest this disease [yes alcohcolism is a disease] a very progressive disease, and there is help if it is wanted.But that help is thru education and talking is a good way to start.

My pet peeve is the Thai enforcement of written laws. and especially traffic laws that are made in the interest of public safety, Now before you start the usual Farang cry that policemen are underpaid, They have a lot of policemen on the payrolls here, and most never do anything except set in an air conditioned box or in the shade and play cards or sleep, when ever they do anything it is money taken and into the pocket.
There are alot of traffic deaths here every year that could be prevented with enforcement, money could go into public coffers if tickets were written and the payments made to authorities instead of the cop holding his hand out.
A bus is wrecked because of dangerous driving habits and when they take the injured and dead away, no one seems to know who was driving the bus because as soon as it had happened, the driver broke and ran and none are ever stopped for such habits.
A cop was trying to get 200 baht from me [a 70 year old man] because of no helmet, while dozens of scooters went by us with 2,3,0r 4 people on them [school children with no helmets] and he didn't even look at them when it is unlawful to ride a scoot with no helmets or more than 2 on a machine, and when I asked about helmets on passengers, I was told, "OH Yes it is the law, but we don't enforce that law" but they do in Pattaya.

That is my bitch, it would be different if cars or motorcycles were not available but they are, they have fleets of yellow and brown sedans for hyway law enforcement, but I have never saw anyone stopped on the hyway, and you never see the cops patrol the hyways unless they are running blocker for a van load of VIPS and not there for enforcement.
