The old need money for my mother operation trick, this has been around ever since I can remember, he must have been very lovesick, how much could she possibly pay to wear a mask and sunglasses in the photo??
A good Thai lady that I have known for years and lives in NZ, told me that her brother beat her up, when she returned to Thailand as her Mom was dyeing , he had stolen the Chanute, and got a crooked lawyer to sell part of the families property to pay off a gambling debt, the land quite extensive rice farm was part of my friends inheritance, her brother did this while his mother was dyeing and when she got there and found out he beat her up.
These stories are very common in LOS, but not unique to LOS, its happening world wide and seems to have got worse since the bat virus BS crippled the world.
A friend who once owned a bar in Pattaya told me he had one of his bar girls who was much smarter than the others, who had about six guys sending her money she used to juggle them around and get sick if two turned up at once, she knew how to handle them , he said he put her money in the safe for her and when she got enough she would buy a house, then another house, he said the others got blead by the BF's and families.
