Bangkok Podcast 65: Raising Kids in Bangkok

We get a lot of questions from expat parents and
parents-to-be about what it's like raising a family in Bangkok.
Since Tony and Greg are little more than man-children themselves,
we brought Jack Prinya on the show to talk about just this thing.
Radio host, MC, actor, and father to three little boys (triplets
at that!), Jack has an intimate knowledge of the challenges that
raising a family here brings.

Many of us were raised in towns or cities where we'd leave in the
morning on our bikes and come home for dinner, but Bangkok's not
like that. Jack tells us where he takes his kids for some
R&R, the challenges of letting them run around in one of
Bangkok's few parks, and a few suggestions on where to take them
if you want a day out of the city. He also tells us about how he
pushes back against the 'over-coddling' that is so common in Thai
culture, and tells us just how different triplets can really
be.

We are also happy to introduce Village in the City as our new
sponsor, a great new company that takes old, run-down Thai houses
and fixes them up into badass lofts and condos with style. If
you're looking for a funky, well-built place to live close to
downtown, check them out.
