You could tell us instead?
No kids, no pressie.
When was Father's Day? If it was recently, let me know so I can beat my kids.:tieme:
Today being the kings BD, is wan khun Paw. Look on yr TD calender.
Ah, ok. My kids being American/Filipino, I guess they skate this time.
nuffink.
and my son was born in thailand, so he oughta remember!
nowt,
but i dont have kids.
nothing either.
cool.. another excuse to be this drunk at this hour..woohoo happy daddies day!!!:)..who wants a beer while i,m up??
yes thanks.
"happy fathers day daddy" That was about it. Now we are digging the fact the True Visions have opened up all the channels for fathers day.
Unlike Pattaya, most of the local shops are observant around here and don't sell beer.
Found one that did though, and had a few. :)
I rented myself a gogo girl for a few hours.
I got 2 hand made father's day cards and a plastic fan with the Kings picture on it from my 3 kids who still live with me.
I received them sitting on a stage with about 15 other fathers, in front of about 500 people and I found it somewhat unnerving when each one of them had come up on stage, kneel down and wai at my feet before they handed me their gift.
Some people love this ritual but as far as I am concerned they can keep it.
Well, actually, I can tell you EVERYTHING I got, a 39 Baht chocolate cake from 7/11 (By the way I had to give my son the money up front...but it is the thought that counts)
A Chocolate Heart from 7/11 that says I love you, a packet of Mentos from 7/11, a Thai "Comedy" DVD from Ta Gahn. and a card!
The Cake, the Mentos, and the chocolate heart...he ate the fucking lot!
Twats!
It was like "Daddy..are you hungry yet?"
Oh, I forgot the Kit Kat..he ate that too!
I feel for you with that shit! it's embarrasing.Quote:

It has about 12 suggestions on what you should do for your father, take them out, speak to them nicely, (I still got told to go fuck off) wai at their filthy feet, buy them something nice... they need to add AND DON"T FUCKING EAT IT! not one of their suggestions said FUCK OFF Into your own bed for half an hour so daddy can get a blow job!
Yes it was fvcking embarrassing for me along with the other farang fathers on stage.Quote:

I found it most appalling when some of the kids went up on stage and to perform this ritual in front of empty chairs where their fathers should of been sitting.

I hate this grovelling shit that they try to put into kids...but you can see how it becomes an end to a means...fucking keep them as grovelling slaves!
I tell my son where to get off with this shit! I put up with a bit, soley out of what little respect (and its diminishing) for their supposed "religion...like where monks tie dogs to trees and fuck em!
How can you explain that to a kid!
To be honest, i think the older you get, the more you realise that ALL religions are built on fear and control!
Wow. You lucky bastard. Bet you'll enjoy it. I'm jealous.Quote:

Not even a 'happy father's day' from my nipper...she could've at least learnt to speak for the occaision..
I don't go along with this groveling crap either, when I pick the girls up from school they wai the teacher and then the teacher says wai Kun Paw as well.
I say NO I'm a farang they respect me as I do them, and in my culture thats sufficient.
You know, we all talk about how it is "The thought that counts", but the way the Thais do it, it destroys all of that, it is like "BUYING" something, they give in the expectation to receive even more!Quote:

You blokes who think that the feeling of a young child to his/her father is meaningless-- get a life.
No need for bets. You are wrong so would hate to take your money. Don't know what your clan is about but don't confuse your situation with mine.Quote:

A DVD
Six bargirls on our doorstep . . .
"popped in' on the way back from temple at 11am
hospitable folk that we are . . . they emptied my fridge of anything containing alcohol, I restocked, emptied, second trip to garage shop and restocked, ate my food, bluetoothed their music onto my laptop, got help writing emails to boyfriends the world over (watch out if it's better English than usual) including some bcc versions. Miminal tidy up then off to Prom Thep for sunset at 6pm.
Best fathers day I've ever had.
Oh come on!Quote:

Praying to paedophiles, drunks and unemployable shit, that dress up i9n saffreon robes cause they can't get a job?
Tie the dog to the tree!
Oh for fucks sake Miggins give it a rest. The guy got a card from his grand-daughter and was clearly stoked about it - do you have to turn everything into another of your poisonous rants about Thais.
As for me, I got fock all. Well except for a bit of a sleep in.

I wasn't taking the piss, I was being honest, a card from your kid or grandkid (I haven't got that far yet) means more than any present!
You go and re read, and I will too! OK
I think you got me wrong!
I was trying to talk about how the older generation, the stupid old bastards, (The Grandmas and Grandpas here, believe in this spirit Jowty shit) will try and turn your jkids into a ghost fearing child, and also, I don't want my kids to grovel at my feet. that was all,
You didn't even get the gratuitous ( complimentary) shag Ant? I'm twice your age and I got two, must be something missing there old chap :)Quote:

If I look a few posts back, before you got your panties in a mess... I think I posted

Nothing more, nothing less, so what are you yacking about!
My fathers day present was having you not posting a video of either one PP! :)Quote:

That sounds unbelievable and I would have had a word with the people responsible for organizing it, asking them why they embarrass the children like that. Quite sad really, and I agree with you that the crawling at the feet of the father thing is a complete load of BS and I would not have my children doing it.Quote:

^ & ^^ The admin handed out an opinion slip/ questionaire and I certainly let my feelings known.
Basically I expressed my extreme disgust at having my children at my feet and if they were going to perform the same format next year my children would not be attending.
The farang bloke next to me copied my same feelings word for word on his questionaire but to be fair the rest of the ceremony was very well put together with some great entertainment from the children.
With regard to the poor kids sitting in front of empty chairs I am a soft cvnt and was almost brought to tears. Poor little buggers and my eldest daughter's best friend's (whose mother died from cancer) father didn't bother to turn up as well which made me feel so sorry for her.
Sometimes Thais get so caught up in Pomp and ceremony they forget about the real human side of what's going down.
No focking danger. I'm in the bad books, something about being an idiot last night on the piss. :)Quote:
