Luk Klueng(mixed race children)are sort of fashionable in Thailand,this is one of the reasons we want to settle down here.
Could anybody suggest any other country where this happens?
In my home country(U.K.)we like to think we are tolerant,but Mixed race children are still picked on most of their lives.
When we eventually have children i dont think they could have a better start than here.
Anybody out there agree?

Hawaii and California!!
Ooops, you said country. Okay. The U.S, but in the states of Hawaii and California.
I am not sure about having a better start in Thailand over another country. I think it depends on the environment where you chose to live and not neccesarily the place.
I know that they can go hand in hand, but if you chose to live in Silicon Valley, you will see the same type of people you see in Oakland, but a different environment. No dissrespect intend for the Oakland residence. I know there's Oakland hills and all.
humm..?? Now that I posted my comments, I might have to retract the original statement. Okay. where you live and environment is my answer!! ha ha ha!!
I hope I answered your question.
Personally, there is no better place to live then in the U.S.

IMO,
Luk krungs get a leg up into the entertainment industries here (music, movies, tv, and yes, working girls, boys, and mia nois,etc). They often get glass ceilinged in every other industry in Thailand. Often they are viewed as entertainment and not really taken seriously (for example, you'll find many of them as VJs/presenters but not news anchors). The lucky/smart ones save their actor/actress money, the unlucky ones get chewed up by the LOS (just like anyone else who leaves their common sense at home).

I don't think I agree with this, or at least the implication. The glass ceiling, if there is one, is not because of being partially white, it just happens that most luk-kreungs are not suited for advancement in Thai society for many other reaons.
E.g. the vast majority of luk-kreungs are from poor Thai mothers and farang fathers, so they typically do not have the social skills and connections for career advancement (which unfortunately in Thailand is not just merit based).
I think if a son or daughter of a wealthy Thai man with his white wife were to grow up in Thailand as any other Thai, then his options are not limited at all. There may be some initial prejudices upon first meeting him or her, but once his language skills and social and family ties have been established it will pass.
The same is true for a hiso Thai woman and her farang husband assuming she has the connections and he is a respectable businessman.

Just thought I'd mention that Packripper made a very accurate IMO but I agree with Chompoo's hypothesis in his response to it.
Nicely done gentlemen.
