If you tell him and he legs it you will be responsible for the financial shortfall within the whore's family. The family will make you pay one way or another. If you are a slow runner the result could well be terminal!

The family of parasites can always get a job and live within their means.

If that fails, they can always starve to death or go sell their ass in the nearest Karaoke or a bar.

I spoke too soon.

Received postage notification and the weight of 2 poncho's is 0.90kg, so would appear each one is around 400-450 grams.

Will report back on the sizing once arrives, they state 3-5 days

Well if anyone in the market for one, be advised Pattaya prices are double to BKK prices.

I have gone through a few shops in Pattaya and called a few in BKK

Pathum design is selling these at half Pattaya prices with 1 year warranty.

Thanks for all the tips

The scenario you describe It is not that uncommon, the issue for you is to decide your relationship with the man and whether you have an obligation, moral or personal, to tell him. If you don't and he is simply another farang who you see for two weeks each year. Alternatively you might see your self as a moral crusader who must champion a just cause, in either case I would avoid getting involved if I were you.

In other words if you saw someone being hit by a car, you would keep on going?

Or of you heard someone scream for help, you would also keep on going?

Because in the end, you do not know them, you are not a moral crusader, best to keep quite and not contribute anything?

I try my best to ensure other people get on with the detail of their lives without the need for me to proffer my opinion on the various aspects of it, that's what grown ups (should) do, children however are a different story!

I am confused, how would your OPINION be relevant to helping someone after they have been hit by a car?

I always thought grown ups have some life experience and compassion to go help another human being, i guess i was mistaken as in the case with you

If you are a decent human being with any compassion, you should tell him.

Put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself the same question.

He could be giving away his life savings and end up with nothing.

Well to be honest I pity him but he must be a real fool. Just by looking at her you should know she is a tramp. The way she dresses, speaks, her attitude... I wouldn't get close to a girl like that in my life.

On the other hand, I would never have a long distance relationship, I think it is the stupidest thing you can do in love affairs. Each to their own, but love is something that works better when close to each other and more importantly comes by knowing the person you are with. It is not possible, even some fools think otherwise, to know somebody just by online contact and a few short real life meetings. When you chat online you are just showing the very best of you and you tell what you want. In a few short stayings together everything can be pink colored. It is when you are living with a person for a long time when you know what he/she really is and if it is worth of something.

So, I will never be in his shoes and if he loses everything in his life is not a surprise by acting like that.

As I stated clearly in the post, I already decided not to get involved but yes, you have a point and I pity him but I have nothing to win and quite to lose.

Of course there are discrete ways like sending him an email with a new address and pointing out the facts like "why she didn't show her body for some months" or "why is she so close to her so called niece" or "why you dont have any pictures of her in that time" but still I think it is not my business.

There have been plenty of people smarter than you or me all together who have been scammed in one way or another.

If you unable to put yourself into his shoes, then you should shut your mouth and sleep well at night, knowing that your high horse would never trip.

Should you develop some conciseness, you do not need to hide in the corners like a rat, you simple go for a beer with a man and tell him in a settle way of what you know and what you had observed.

Now you state you have decided NOT to get involved, so 2 questions for you

1. Why make a thread and waste time?

2. Are you struggling with your decision?.

Do you honestly believe your wife/gf is different? If this kind of practice is openly accepted, why would you think your other half is any different?

You see, he is not my friend. I just have developed some sort of "friendship" because he comes here once per year and we are both speaking English. There is another farang in the village but he is a German and can't speak any English.

We can both be fooled, however, not so easily. She really looks like a tramp by all counts.

To your 3 questions:

- Just curious if people will do the same as me in this situation. I am pretty sure most of us would act otherwise in the west.

- Not at all. Actually my job is online marketing so lying and hiding the truth of things are part of my daily life.

- I know she is different because we live together the whole year. Also, there is not a 15-20yr gap between us, just 10 months. Also, when we started dating I was earning about 1/5th of the money I do now and she had a nice job in an office. She has bachelor degree and could be living a good life here without me.

You do not need to be friends, you only need to be human with decency and compassion.

When someone writes a review to warn others, they certainly are not writing it for their friends

Its a really amazing phenomenon, When Asians move to other countries, they stick together, help each other out, even create their own "towns" like China Town etc. yet when Westerners move abroad, do nothing but envy and enjoy other peoples misfortunes.

You know more, you street wise, you have witnessed something, help your fellow, instead of siting back and enjoying his demise.

Does anyone really think we will know the truth ?

If it was Ukrainian military, what would the headlines be ?

American backed Ukrainian forces shot down civilian airline?

Not exactly what US would want to be associated with, so will insist it was The rebels yet again no evidence at all.

Just days ago, US made statements, US knows Russia trained and helped, where now the tune has changed, but again no evidence at all and despite US calling for truce , Ukrainian military keeps intensifying bombardment.

Total destruction of the area does destroy all the evidence.

If you are a decent human being with any compassion, you should tell him.

Put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself the same question.

He could be giving away his life savings and end up with nothing.

If the OP does that he will create a shitstorm and for what? He will probably have to move.

And for what? For being a decent human being ?

For helping another person not to get scammed ?

For saving someone from heartache?

For helping someone not to lose his life savings?

For possibly saving someone from killing himself?

For helping someone NOT to end up financially broke at an old age?

Just some reasons I could think of.

OP does not need to hold a public meeting, there are many discrete ways.

I understand where you are coming from but I learned a long time ago never to come between a man and wife. If this clown thinks he can trust any woman to be faithful to him with 12 months absence he is an utter fool. He may have another family overseas, who knows.

How do you discretely say "Oh BTW your wife had a secret baby while you were away"? Come on man she wasn't just getting a work out.

ATF, may be there is something wrong with me, but i believe in helping people when i can, especially if it requires minimum effort if any effort at all.

I also believe in helping animals and i do rescue and keep them, irrespective of their condition. Hence i have a disabled dog that requires lots of care and a disabled care which requires even more care, a total of 24 already.

Telling the guy is not getting involved between man and wife, in cases like this its more like hunter and prey.

The guy may well be a fool, or he may well be just gullible or inexperienced.

I can tell you from personal experience, twice.

One was a guest with his GF, She fed him story she had never been to Pattaya, yet she knew all the streets and shops.

She claimed her son was in an accident and needs to be transferred to good hospital or he would die. Naturally boyfriend paid, close to 300 000 baht.

She told him, son was in Banglamung Hospital and she had to go see him every night.

I told they guy that Banglamung is a public FREE hospital and they do not allow over night guests.

She had sister come to "visit", i told him "sister" and his gf did not have same surname, town of birth or same house.That saved him few hundred thousand baht.

He then was smart enough, to follow his gf at night when she went to visit her son to find out she went to screw another guy.

Do i care what gf thinks about me? not at all, because i was not helping her to scam, but helping guy from being scammed.

Another case is more complicated.

My neighbor in early 60's married to a 28 year old.

Every time he went home, a Thai guy would appear and live in the house.

When he returned, i mentioned that she had "brother" staying

Not long after that, she was pregnant and my neighbor was very excited.

After baby was born, it looked 100% Thai with a dark skin.

When he was walking around with his daughter, i mentioned to him that its a beautiful baby, but its black(meaning very dark skin, while my neighbor is British, white as milk)

Now that baby has gotten older, it is very clear he is not the father but the "brother" is.

Finally he has realized and dumped the "loving wife"

Mind you he is broke, and pretty much homeless.

He is back UK living in some shelter while he was sending all the pension to his "loving wife" to support her and "his baby"

At least now, he can keep his pension and may be eventually get his own room and enough food to live out the rest of his life.

If you are a decent human being with any compassion, you should tell him.

Put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself the same question.

He could be giving away his life savings and end up with nothing.

Well to be honest I pity him but he must be a real fool. Just by looking at her you should know she is a tramp. The way she dresses, speaks, her attitude... I wouldn't get close to a girl like that in my life.

See therein lies the problem, I would never be in his shoes. Things like this are best left alone and all you can do is watch from the cheap seats and have it be a reminder. So a few things I have learned from situations posted like these

1) Never have a long distance romance especially with a gal you met online, why? Because you know there is a good chance you are not her first and likely not her last.

2) Never ever under any circumstance send money to her or the family.

3) Take off the rose colored glasses so you can see things clearly and use your better judgment. Seems like so many leave all their common sense when they land at the airport.

No one is talking about you.

And frankly personally i could not care less about what you have learned.

OP is asking a question if he should tell the other guy? and he should.

OP is not asking for a lesson or to hear what you have learned.

Some people are gullible,some do not have experience, and some simply to good to even imagine there are bad people out there.

Big one in nakula

Thats really helpful.

Yeah right...

..and you just returned from deep inside the war zone and can confirm that.

Ron Paul has just taken the side of Russia in this one...for what it's worth.

They will not report (the western media..Ed) that neither Russia nor the separatists in eastern Ukraine have anything to gain but everything to lose by shooting down a passenger liner full of civilians. They will not report that the Ukrainian government has much to gain by pinning the attack on Russia, and that the Ukrainian prime minister has already expressed his pleasure that Russia is being blamed for the attack,"

??? Ron Paul actually said:

Of course it is entirely possible that the Obama administration and the US media has it right this time, and Russia or the separatists in eastern Ukraine either purposely or inadvertently shot down this aircraft. The real point is, it's very difficult to get accurate information so everybody engages in propaganda. At this point it would be unwise to say the Russians did it, the Ukrainian government did it, or the rebels did it. Is it so hard to simply demand a real investigation?

Not sure how that is taking Russia's side and it is amazing how people find a way to take pot shots at the "West" or the US even in something like this.

Just minutes ago.

US Intel BELIEVES rebels shot down plane by mistake however US Intel is NOW saying Russian government was NOT involved.

I wonder if US administration along with Oz PM will issue an official formal apology to PutIn and Russia

??? "NOT involved" or did they say:

Instead, the intelligence officials were just saying that we dont know if Russians pulled the trigger, one administration official said. That doesnt absolve Russia.

There is a difference . . .

BTW, looks like US media and officials are actually being honest here contrary to a lot of comments on here.

You are welcome to contact US intel to clarify or Al Jazeera for it's reporting

If you are a decent human being with any compassion, you should tell him.

Put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself the same question.

In theory yes, but chances are that the guy wouldn't believe him anyway. How many times have we read similar stories where somebody has given another guy a "heads up" only for the person offering the real truth to be castigated by the person who doesn't believe the blindingly obvious?

That said, I would be feeling pretty guilty if, down the line, I saw the sorry episode unravel knowing I might have been able to do something about it.

What the guy would believe is irrelevant.

OP can only tell and it's other guy choice what he does with that information.

There are many what if's and there is no way to know what the outcome would be.

If you are a decent human being with any compassion, you should tell him.

I like them...

Professional and good choices of destinations..

I like them too but the prices can't compete with Cathy, British Airways or the Middle Eastern Airlines.

I do not mind paying extra $100-$200 for a direct flight.

Others are usually cheaper because of stop overs

Almost all of the Ukraine military hardware is Russian made.

So why do they keep bringing it up?

This actually just goes to prove that it could have been equally the Ukraine government attempting to ignite a war between Russia and a huge western coalition...... Which they are.

Possible. But not in this case. The missile launch was detected well within rebel held territory. Impossible for the Ukraine army to sneak in and fire a rocket. Plus, there was their admission on Twitter, several downed planes in the exact same area by them recently, etc.

The Western coalition for sure does not want a war. They just want Russia to leave Ukraine alone. Pretty simple.

Yeah right...

..and you just returned from deep inside the war zone and can confirm that.

If I call Mairead Maguire a war criminal, does that make her one? Just another opinion by a Hamas supporter.. 

Who is Mairead Maguire?? 

2 questions.

1. What weight? Will it be too hot for Thailand?

2. I only saw S or M sizes.

Can you keep us posted please?

Very useful post - thanks

Sorry i do not think i would go to weigh it, but happy to write back when i receive it on the size and quality

 

 

Why not just answer the question? You said there might be thousands of Israeli dead right now without "Protective" Edge. How?

 
Is that a tricky question? or you really can not see how?
 
Killed by rockets

 

 

That's strange because the terrorists have already launched well over a thousand rockets and only one civilian was killed by them. He was near a border crossing. Seems a bit far-fetched to say thousands would be killed by rockets eh?

 

 

Which part do you find strange? The fact that IAF has destroyed half if not more rocket launchers?

 

I could go as far as say millions, when Hamas was targeting nuclear reactor for 2 straight days.

 

How many would you estimate die if nuclear reactor was hit?

 

25 people from 4 families (including 19 children) gathered to break the Ramadan fast, and they were murdered by Israel.
 
19 children.
 
Justice for these war crimes will come for Israel one day. 
 
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/22/world/middleeast/questions-about-tactics-and-targets-as-civilian-toll-climbs-in-israeli-strikes.html

One Hamas militant. 19 children and 4 other adults.
It's unforgivable. 
I don't know how the cowards that give the orders can sleep at night.
I don't know how the soldier that pulled the trigger can live with himself.

 

If i had to guess, i would say better than the cowards hiding behind 19 children, though i doubts cowards hiding behind 19 children have any remorse..

Thank you, that is perfect. already bought it

...hope it fits

Forclaz 1300 Hiking Poncho, Size S/M, Black

Did you manage to get the L / XL one? I saw they had them, bu no option to select it.

I sent email and they replied saying no sizes, one size fits all

Why not just answer the question? You said there might be thousands of Israeli dead right now without "Protective" Edge. How?

 
Is that a tricky question? or you really can not see how?
 
Killed by rockets

 

25 Israeli soldiers now dead who might be alive today had not Netanyahu started this reckless round of violence.
 
Just a popularity stunt to win the next election. The man's a war criminal.

Thousands of Israeli might be dead by now , had not IDF started protective edge.

Hundreds of Palestinians might be alive now , had Hamas not started firing rockets, hiding weapons in civilian locations ,forcing civilians to be human shields .

Israel is not Palestinian problem , Hamas is.
 

 
Dear Pralaad. How would there be thousands of Israeli dead by now if they hadn't initiated "Protective" Edge? Rockets? Nope - thanks US for Iron Dome!
Tunnels? lol.

Iron dome is not some magic . It does not catch each and every rocket. And if you were not aware rockets have landed in tel aviv

Here is another latest update.

The recording posted by Ukraine allegedly rebels discussing it is a fake .

On the day of the tragedy Ukraine was moving its BUK systems.

Russia and Holland agreed to work together , while Ukraine does not want to provide answers to movement of BUK on the day.

Make of it what you will
