It depends on whether you want / can afford for him to have more than he really needs, or just a minimum amount (on top of eveything else you provide). I suspect that 8000/month is way more than most university students would have, and often they would be paying for rent and food out of that too. BKK transport can be surprisingly expensive though if you are a long way from his school ... and he prefers the skytrain and motocy taxis to the non-aircon bus. Still, with no rent to pay, what does he spend 2000 a week on ? As a diligent student, I don't suppose he's out every night. I don't wish to be rude, but why are you paying for granny ? Doesn't his family operate in the usual Thai way - grand parents live in the family home and look after the grand kids while parents are at work ? Some further thoughts ... do you both expect him to get a job when he graduates ? The alternative - a young guy with time on his hands and disposable income - is a potentially dangerous proposition. Do you both expect a reduction in his allowance if he is earning ? I have or am currently going through some of these same issues, so it’s interesting to compare notes.
