    Stupid comment. Many farang living in Thailand make their own problems, expect that Thailand should adjust to their silly notions. Ever heard of adult behavior, adult balanced discussion with good logical.

     

    "... teach him a lesson that Farangi are not to be messed with."  I could have applied your attitude to many farang who rented from me but were less than adult, less than balanced in their discussion. Example:

     

    Point 1: Farang couple (he's a European from the eastern seaboard, his farang wife is a serious alcoholic, drinks several bottles of neat gin every day) rent my luxury villa on Jomtien beach. First rental payment already overdue by 3 days, I call, farang wife tells me that it's Thai law that you don't have to make rent payments on the due date, they must wait until the property owner calls and asks for payment. 

     

    Point 2: It's already written in the rental agreement that they will pay the full rental amount by ATM transfer on the due date and they must pay whatever bank charges are involved. (ATM payment was their request.)

     

    After I call her 24 hrs later I get a part payment by ATM transfer. I call the farang wife, she says 'It's Thai law tenants can pay in 2 installment, 2nd payment can be 14 days later and landlord must pay all bank changes for the second payment'.

     

    After demanding and getting the the full payment, on the 2nd rental payment date she tries a whole new story.

     

    I called the multinational the farang husband works for, turns out they are inundated with complaints about the farang engineer and his european wife on numerous situations and on further checking they discover the same situation has occurred before in other postings for this couple, company tells the farang to get packed up and they have booked tickets for him and his wife to fly out within a further 48 hours.

     

    Farangs' immediate boss calls me and politely requests that I don't allow them a second chance, he reveals the farang engineer and his wife are causing numerous problems with other expat couples / families, and the engineer is producing nothing in terms of his contracted work.

     

    They leave Thailand, an hour later the HR manager calls me and explains he has engaged a high quality cleaning company to come the next morning and do a thorough cleaning (which was needed) and the cleaning crew supervisor will check thoroughly what bills or whatever might be outstanding. Turns out the farang wife had borrowed 2,000Baht cash from the company van driver employed to take her shopping, never repaid and more... 

     

     

    Oh dear....my 'tongue in cheek' comment went right over your head, didn't it.

     

    Never mind, I'm sure you feel better for venting your spleen.

    Since when the sun and the mirror are left media?   Conspiracy ideology is obsolete and used just to avoid facts and reality.

    Do you know at which age he met his wife?  It confirm what the book bring.  Nothing new.

    What are you on about?

     

    If you re read my first sentence, I called The Mirror leftie, which it is, but not the Sun.

     

    Wyman was 47 when he met Mandy, who was 13.

     

    No ideology there, conspiratorial or otherwise.

     

    Ok na?

    Their job consist in finding a foreigner fool enough and with so many limited options that will gladly accept to subsidize her and her family and consider that a god's gift. (or finding someone even more fool and richer to replace the one they already have)

    No flies on you, is there now.
