    Children on the margins

    Outlook, Vasana Chinvarakorn, Published on 07/01/2010

    » There is light in the eyes of these children as they laugh. It shines out of the darkness that surrounds them. Under the fluorescent glare, the youngsters are giggling or convulsing with laughter at the performances of their peers. One by one, they take turns staging one-of-a-kind shows - shadow and hand puppetry, a live theatre and singing skit, and even traditional ethnic Shan dances during which some appreciative audience members present the amateur performers with small cash gifts. The memorable night will no doubt be cherished by the youths for years to come. It's a rare opportunity for the 30 stateless children in Chiang Mai to spend three days learning the basics of art and producing this unique "festival" together.

    » Today Western fast food is popular because there are many branches of this food everywhere and it is comfortable to buy and eat them.

    Proof of income needed to marry?

    By Anonymous, Created on: 03/01/2008, Last updated on: 01/01/2009

    » Can someone please clarify if you need a proof of income in order to marry in Bangkok in an Amphur Office?

    • bastos60 commented : I am somewhat shocked by the question. The marriage will not be the problem when it is a local marriage. But when you want to bring her back to your home country, or have the marriage legalized so that is valid in your country as well there is quite a lot of paperwork. Do you need proof of income, definately, and not just what you have in your savings account, you need to provide evidence of a monthly income and that income must be sufficient to provide for your wife. If you can not provide any evidence of a monthly income they will not let you bring in your wife even though you are married to her in Thailand, the embassy will just not validate the marriage. Then there is also the health insurance you need to provide for her and sufficient funds for a return ticket.

    Advice Needed About Father's Imminent Marriage

    By Anonymous, Created on: 11/08/2007, Last updated on: 01/12/2007

    » I wonder if anyone can offer me any urgently needed advice. My father is about to marry a Thai woman 40 years his junior. (He has been alone and divorced for over twenty years.) Whilst he is an intelligent man professionally, when it comes to 'matters of the heart' he is totally blinkered...

    • Anonymous commented : I dont see why a Thai lady would not like the UK. In fact I know they do like it here, from experience. The temperatures are not so hot which means its at least bearable for most of the year. Then theres the fact that everyone has a nice home, plenty of money and national health if something goes wrong. The only disadvantage is the expensive trips back to Los and the problems of sending money back to the relatives.

The only disadvantage is the expensive trips back to Los and the problems of sending money back to the relatives." I agree that "some" thai folks would prefer the cooler whether there. However, I have a different view of why not to bring the "majority" of them there. I love Eddie Murphy's early years when he was doing stand-up concerts. One of his lines. He says something like: I went to Africa and got me a real women to be my wife and knows who the man of the house. She takes care of me, the house and always asks: "Eddie, what can I do for you?". Then I made the mistake of bringing her back to the U.S. with me. She meets some new girlfriends, and goes out with them regularly during the day. They are abashed to see how she acts like an old-fashioned wife and drill her about modern day women. After couple months of this, Eddie finds she has learned new phrasesand no longer asks "Eddie, what can I do for you, honey?" but instead: "Eddie, What have you done for me lately?" and then finally, "Eddie, I want half!!!!" rgds / sardines

Anaya said the intervention was at odds with Australia's human rights obligations and called for the race laws to be reinstated as a matter of priority. Macklin said Tuesday the intervention's measures had been overhauled to comply with the Act and reflect "special measures that help indigenous people in the Northern Territory achieve equal human rights". In February, two years after the apology, Rudd conceded progress towards improving Aborigines' lives had been too slow, with wide gulfs remaining in life expectancy, child mortality and health.
