The main problem is many are not matured mentally when the are engaging in physical relationship at a young age. The start dating between 12 to 15. Getting intimately engaged when 18 and have children before 20 and then gets separated by 22. The woman started working in Pattaya for income to support the children and men started to engage their activies with different woman at their own phase. There must be a strict regualtion to avoid minor age marriages totally.

It's more like pregnant at 15, the lad disappears from view and the girl heads for Pattaya or Bangkok to try to get a life worth living. The issue here is certainly a lack of maturity among the male population, the total fault of their Mothers, who molly coddle, them and the lack of role models among the males.  It's a generalization I know, but true enough, that a vast number of the rural male population are lazy drunks and drug takers. I have some sympathy for them, as hard labour here, for a pittance in wages, and for the whole of your natural life, with no escape, must be mighty depressing.  Seeing on TV and internet how others can live in this modern age must add tons of salt to the wound.  Add ill educated to this potent mix and you get a dysfunctional under class.  I thank fate and the Universe that I was born in the UK, with responsible parents and a good education system.  Not the case in LOS.  This is all fixable if the various governments had the will to do it, but they do not and the elite won't pay for it.

I fully agree with you....most of them are living in a fantasy world. All they are looking for is a windfall. Again, it all boils down to the education system that is the basic foundation of any country.
