Yup............. I arrived from the USA 3 times in 2019, with near the 'Limit' 9,900 $USD each time..... (I won't risk going over the $10,000 limit)........ never once checked my money...... 

HOW IN THE HECK DO THEY KNOW HOW MUCH I SPENT???????? Many of those dollars are unchanged and unspent yet (Still in storage)(till the dollar rate comes back up)..............

READ ON...... And digest BULLS__T as you read it.........    LOL   .....

The white container in the videos of the crime scene, is an air-tight 'Reefer' refrigerated container.

 

Death by suffocation a certainty within a few hours of them closing the doors with 39 people inside.

 

This type of death during the smuggling of illegal immigrants is relatively common.

 

RIP to the victims.

YES.... UK not alone (USA, UK, Canada, Sweden, Switzlerland, Belgium, Germany, and many others is in that same pool) in this sort of thing.... 

So many Poor people in poor countries want to come to first world countries to work for decent wages..... An amazing fortune for them 'Illegals'.... And I must say that they (Illegals) will work harder than the local 'Legals' will work...... although there may be 'some negatives' attached.....

The USA (and I love my country) has many 'Illegals' wanting to enter, as this case in UK....

A few times a year we have similar discoveries of dead (And Living) illegal immigrant in semi-trucks that are found crossing in from Mexico to Texas or California in the USA..... 

Being a US citizen I am ok with people who seek a better life.... BUT...... again BUT...... I am dead against 'muslim' people want to come and change MY COUNTRY into a 'muslim' ruled country...

I am ok with foreigners wanting to better themselves BUT I 'dislike' Foreigners wanting to come to the USA and make it just like their 'muslim' home country.... 'muslim' has intentionally NOT been capitalized......

But.... YES...... I have read in the news over the years of Semi-Truck Trailers discovered in the USA with some dead and alive Mexican/Central American inside......... poor souls seeking a better life,,,,, SAD...... and RIP...........

Advanced (First world) countries will always have poor people trying to get in to work for decent wages.....

I can't see much on the german Guy's side..... But I can see a lot against him, Living a good life off somebody else's pension and keeping up his Thai girl with her money.... So I feel that the German guy's luck just ran out....... and 'Rightly so'.......   He wasn't earning his way in life' but sadly using another persons money 'Unjustly'....... 'Som Nam Na' (Thai language for: "he got what he deserved")

Low Lifes come from every country..... Thailand attracts a few of them BUT they are all over the world ...... Equally........

I am concerned about the OP's concern ot her dying........... That happens rarely and isn't worth being overly concerned........

Live life for today and don't 'abuse the wife' (as Thai guys do - and a few young farangs also) and quite likely you will stay with her long and not have any these worries.......... 

If you fancy chasing other Thai ladies and feel like you may want to leave her someday..... Don't make her lose money for your 'wayward desires'...........

SORRY........... But there actually is a 'few' farangs with Thoughts (and concerns) in this direction...... IF you are continuously good to her....... she will love you forever..... (and not have an accident)........

And all this worry will be 'for nothing'....... Just remember to do 'your part'........ If you don't do your part then be prepared for the 'disappointments' and kiss your <deleted> goodbye as her and family will win......

If you are the young falang wanting to live and make money off a Thai girl (and I KNOW of one or more instances) and you don't have money to cover your 'HALF'..... Then don't expect Thai laws to be of much help for your side.........

Sorry if I am overly harsh..... Not knowing you and your real motivations...... But I have found many Thai girls to be sincere and deserving only to be ripped off by 'POOR' Farang guys.........

IF I AM WRONG......... Please forgive me but at least think about what I have said..... It could help your relationship in the future.........

And the seized money will go to.... ? ?

Wouldn't it be nice if this money could go to education and schools?   Or even Hospitals......

With this greedy military Gov't In think there isn't a chance in H_ll of any of this money doing good for the 'Poor'......

All of this going on under the noses of the local BiB !!!!

The local BIBs were probably customers..... until the raid was instigated by outside law enforcement........ and requested by some NGOs (Non Gov't organizations)

I just announced my thai Budget in line with treh government  1 trillion for defence  1 trillion for schools hospitals and infurstructure and 1 trillion no account need ed (special needs) for Generals and government ministers

I really Doubt the part about 1 trillion for schools/hospitals, etc.......................

They couldn't care less about the poor, elderly, and children...... Pitiful bunch calling the shots.

I can't help but go along with the 'drink driving' probability.....

My Thai wife has 2 brothers in Korat that are Thai police...... They are typical Thai cops and 'always drunk' on duty......

Bring a bunch in myself every entry, no plomem. 

BUT have you been STOPPED AND XRAYED with them?

Many foriegners are not stopped and walk right through....

Just the luck of each of us.......

In Reality  ........................ I, as an American citizen, Trust my government................

I think they know something that I don't know....... (YET)

I TRUST THAT the USA government has a reason for this and will still continue to take the best care for it's citizens............

I also, along with 'our' government, think Thailand is attacting 'ALL Western World Countries' and I hope this example of our USA 'PULLING OUT' of Thailand will have some effect on this "PRESENT" THAI (Graft- Ridden) government...............

it'S citizebs

I think the British recently did the same thing....... Real Estate (property values - in Bangkok Area) have recently reached 'HIGHS' that make more money for the governments (to sell the property) than they make from taking caring for their own citizens........

If this post is just a joke.......... then...... and only 'then'........ so is Mine.......

But on the other hand...... If this is REAL..... I am really concerned as a USA Citizen....... Is Our USA government "giving up" on Thailand................... THEN WHAT??????????????? For us Americans, do we need to fear going to or staying in Thailand????????????

Without a biopsy, the doctor diagnosed cancer and in his wisdom decided an emergency operation requiring removal of her uterus and ovaries was required.
After the operation the nerve to her anal sphincter was damaged and she was fitted with a colostomy bag. Her ureter was also damaged.

If this is accurate information...... Then it sounds to me like this is one more example of Thailand's 30 Baht Hospital visit scheme..... Using 'under paid doctors' without proper 'Knowledge' to care for the 'POOR' Thai folks...... this happens too often in 'up-country' 'Issan' hospitals............

WHY??????................ This present 'Military Regime Government' using all of it's money for Army and Navy Purchases.... Submarines and Tanks, etc....... and not really caring for 'it's people' (especially the poor who they think are too stupid to 'SUE' The Hospital - and Gov't......)

I have had 2 Thai Marriages........ I am a US citizen......... By Thai law, a marriage in either country,  if public record, is recognised by the other country (Thailand or USA)..... 

If you go to a Buddhist Temple to marry but do not record it with the local Thai Umphur (Government offices)---- Then it is not a 'completely legal' marriage and is not observed by the other country........ 

Many Thais and some Farang/Thai marriages are done in a temple and money given to the family, But if they are not registered with the Thai Government at an Umphur..... THEN the Marriage is not recognised by the other countries..... IT MUST BE A LEGALLY RECORDED MARRIAGE TO BE OF RECOGNITION BY OTHER COUNTRIES.......

EDITED to add..... Check to see what the 'South American country' and Thai laws are and whether recorded marriages or just 'Un-recorded'........

I do not get this? There must be more they are not giving information about. Why would the mother need to care for the daughter all life, and why can´t the daughter teach anymore?

Yes.... I also read the article from the NATION and no other information there..... It makes me curious same as you..... WHY?????? has this poor lady been 'incapassitated' by that surgery so that she can't ever work again and the mother must care for her the rest of her life.....

Something more is missing and since they told us this much... I'd be curious to know the rest.....

I've read all the posts above and haven't seen any mention of the girls taking birth control upon themselves...... Not only condoms but tablets that are available very cheap at the local pharmacy..... The Thai 'sex-ed' apparently don't teach that (and SHOULD)....... The pharmacies sell birth control tablets over the counter and even sell the 'Morning-after Pills'..... That is what many 'sex-workers' use (I know many)..... Sex Ed needs to improve to lower this 'teen-mothers' problem......

That's exactly right. They voted for his mob, and therefore him, so let them reap what they sowed. In the meantime, Anutin will get the people so bombed out, they won't even know when they're being shafted.

Wow.... I am amazed........ Do you raeally think that people 'voted him in'?????? You weren't paying attention during the elections to........ ALL his 'Junta' associates were the ones counting those votes and controlling the results of the election....... NO WAY...... This election was rigged by HIM for HIM.......

I have been involved with Thailand more than 40 years...... I love the 'average Thai people'.......... NOT including this military gov't or most HiSo (Rich) people......

When I drive in Thailand on a new stretch of highway and then drive that same stretch of Hiway a month later and have to 'avoid' all the new 'POTHOLES'...... It reminds me why there are 'a few' rich (HiSo) people in Thailand (road builders relatives of the Gov't officials)........ And this Gov't is part of 'THAT'.......

The poor and working class are really hurting worse NOW.... more than for AGES....... Because of this 'clan' who have illegally taken control of Thailand....

"Over half of Thais feel Government’s performance unchanged..."

THEY obviously didn't survey the 'RIGHT' half of the PEOPLE...........

OR...... Just more 'FAKE NEWS'

Something like an airplane view without leaving the ground........ LOL .......

WOW!!!! wow!!!!!!   TIT  (This Is Thailand)........ "UN believable"

Outlandish story, can't imagine the reason why two Japanese men, in Cambodia, would premeditate the murder of a taxi driver.

Maybe same as my experience in Brussels, Belgium many years ago.... I walked out of the subway from the Airport to downtown and grabbed a taxi to my hotel.... About 30 minutes later we arrived at the hotel with a hefty 'taxi fare'..... the next day me and the wife went out walking and after 15 minutes walking (walking) we found ourselves in front of the 'same' subway station.......

We felt like killing that taxi driver....... LOL .......

HAIL??????? and you still need 'Air conditioning'????? LOL.......

Is this something that the 'present Phayut Gov't' ordered??????

I think he (the Ruskie) would have done better to say........ That he wanted to let Prayut's right-hand man - PRAWIT 'Borrow' it for a 'Photo shoot'....... LOL .......
