NO! Siri, no!!!! You've got your numbers the wrong way around!

The number of Luk Krueng born from legit marriages far outweigh the amount who are born from prostitution. How does that even make sense? The population of prostitutes in the country is tiny compared to women who aren't!
How does it make sense that there are more Luk Krueng born to those?
This subject is REALLY testing my patience.


You dont have to get so angry about this. Its a mere discussion, charlee. I, who grew up for a long time in Ayudhaya and in BKK, can tell you that most of the Leukrung Thais that I have met had single mothers. Albeit perhaps those that I met that my cousins introduced me to were bad examples, but my family in general (and many other thai families hold this view--particularly military families) has always had reserved feelings towards Leukrung Thais. There is a sense of conservancy in my family, where familial ties, old lineage and blood relations are still taken into consideration, something that most leukrung thais do not share due to their foreign blood lines. Nonetheless, I personally DO NOT condone the bias look towards leukrungs, however, it must be placated that the mindset
IS there, specially in the military and politics (IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE MEDIA/ENTERTAINMENT). Remeber Thai law, one cannot join or ever serve in the military so long as his/her father is not a thai national, doesnt matter about the mother. As for Thai politics, it is thesame.
Jia, and Charlee, I ask you two to remain calm in this thread. It is something that must be discussed; for thais and thai leukrungs.
