If you think it's nobody else's business why on earth are you spending weeks (months?) relaying this long, tedious tale of yours on a public forum?

See what I mean by age matters. LOL.
Any comments by those who took him seriously are very welcomed.

Thanks for the link. I hope the Thai authorities give them long sentences and they let Amnesty International suck on that. This site does not need anti Thai propaganda from such frauds.

Girls are eager, for obvious reason, but the selection is meh. It was dire before Covid, and now it's roughly 1/3 of that.

Like so many countries Thailand has families that move to the Western model while many families still adhere to the old model. That will give friction. The answers are difficult and a clear cut answer is not available. To make things clearer on the medic part, I will give the rationale for many children. Not just a workforce on the farm but also necessary for your pension. So you need at least two children because half of the children die. You need double that amount because half will be women and move to the other family (or vice versa). You need double that amount because only half of them will manage to get a job. So to have one child paying for your pension you need 8 children. Or better you needed 8 children. Because not half of the children dies any longer anymore. You don't need to double if the country is not grappling with subsistence. You don't need to double if the wife can work and doesn't need to raise so many children. So, of course a doctor will advise condoms and try to bring the number of children down. And he is right about that. The problem however is the transition to another culture in two ways. First within the families: the daughter is not going to help her family anymore in such a demanding way. For example Romanian and Bulgarian girls turn back to their countries way before they reach the age of 30. Polish and Hungarians already are hard to find. The second is within the country or even county. One family still follows the old model. Another follows the more individual model. In Europe for example this is true for immigrants especially from Morocco. That gives tensions and one result is that the Moroccan community in the Netherlands now is an endless source for criminal talent, because they have problems to fit in our dominant culture. I can elaborate on that but won't. If interested try to find Constructivism on the net. I think that with the advance of medicines that there is no way back to the old model. Nobody will withhold medicine from their children of just accept that there is no job for them if not necessary. So there's too many children in this situation and that will create poverty. Well, the picture is more complicated than this (for example education and development of the economy play a role) but in this topic I won't elaborate on that too much. The bottomline is that Thailand is a part of the world economy and cannot isolate itself. So they have to go along with the developments in the world. Somehow the government of Thailand will have to step in with care for the old aged etcetera and move to a more individual model with a strong state. That will diminish the possibilities for mongering. But that is still a long way to go. Cheap mongering is already from the menu.

Posts: 5656I read this recently: "Up to 650,000 deaths annually are associated with respiratory diseases from seasonal influenza, according to new estimates by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US-CDC), the World Health Organization and global health partners". For the past 9 months covid 19 has caused the deaths of 989,055.

Posts: 6523AI calls on Thai authorities to drop charges against eight arrested Thai activists
https://prachatai.com/english/node/8738
Perhaps the US should grant these young activists asylum until their safety and constitutional rights can be assured.
Our society can always benefit from smart, strong, courageous people with forward vision. We are all neighbors in this small world, and we want to give young people proper protection for their rights and their safety, even if they are precocious.
Perhaps their families and associates should contact the embassies of US, UK, France, Australia, Singapore ect for possible assistance.
