I hope this story is un-true, but if it is true I feel sorry for the poster. We all make mistakes knowingly/unkowingly thorughout our life, sometimes the consiquence is minor and sometimes the smallest of mistake can get in a big trouble. I am appalled by the response of most members. If I take all what he wrote as true, this guy took the time in this situation to seek advice and not monitory help in this forum, he is responding to almost all replies to the post. I am not experienced in anyway you have asked for VonDutch but as some member suggest, you can try to use your lawyer and contact the byke owner, and negotiate out of court settlement, if done make sure to have a written confirmation, one obstructle passed. Then deal with the immigration matter. If you know someone locally in Chaigmai or ask for your lawers recommendation, if any local group or NGO would help (just a thought though not sure if its right to do).  It works or it doesn't you do not have much choice, but to try any way possible now, go for spreading about your story in your home country first and at last if you do not have any choise left, write down all of it and sent to all thai channels. 

I have been exactly in same situation, I knew her for around 5 years and had issues less frequently at the beginning which grew with time. The last time without just any reason, I was speaking to a friend and she suddenly started smashing stuff (except her own). 98% of the stuff was bought by me all new. When I tried to stop her she started hitting me, and throwing stuff at me, I got hit a few times with cuts and bruises. Somehow grab my computer (it has most important things related to work) and my passport. I couldn’t even grab my wallet. I went out to save myself and not to be in a situation when she locked the door from inside and started yelling at me in front of the neighbors as if I was abusing her. I was not even wearing proper clothes, no money and nowhere to go. I went to the police station, they just casually talked to me and didn’t agree to take a report, saying "these things happen, it will be fine tomorrow". They said the max punishment for her would be just TBH 500, whereas the male person can be jailed. I somehow spent the night at a friend’s place (they helped me out), I would never forget that night 26th March 2011. Next morning, I went back together with some colleagues and a friend, and saw a truck parked in front of my home and guys loading stuff (TV, Fridge, bed etc.). I didn’t speak to her; her sister was present too. My colleagues knew she was moving out after speaking to her, and they asked me if those are all my stuff she is loading. I replied yes, I bought them all new but let her take it, I can buy them again. After 2 hours later, she and the truck gone. My home looked totally wrecked, nothing left was usable and not much left. Even my wallet, my wrist watches etc. all gone. I started again new, it took me a while but I got back everything. 2 months later she calls back to apologies and come back, to which I refused, then changed my phone number and my rented place. That was the end and I and feel happy today that it happened. I moved out of Thailand in June 2011 but I come back to visit every year, I have lots of friends and ex-colleagues there. As others suggest things might get worse, I have read lots of similar horror stories. As a foreigner you have very few rights in Thailand compared to a Thai female. Just try to find the right opportunity and move out, don’t think about belongings, you can always buy new one, let her keep them. You are also not legally married that’s an advantage. If you feel she is too aggressive, install some cam (go to panthip mall if you are in BKK), get some footage when she is fighting or smashing stuff for your own defense. Most important get some people (knowledgeable and trustable) involved in the conversation, it might help you. DO NOT DELAY, PLAN AND DO IT ASAP.
