he is really stupid

It would appear that Mr.Vorrapan Rojsattarat isn't the smartest rock in the pile. Sounds like he is a total idiot. Maybe this is another example of "Thainess".

Is it any wonder the father isn't giving him large sums of money.

Where does a guy get more than a million baht to "save" in 2 years?

Taping more than 1000 notes together should be fun.
