My comment still stands, the fact that you assume to know what his family's circumstances are, is an unfounded opinion. And, shows your lack of intelligence!

He’s a regular visitor you muppet, not a vagrant living on the streets. That involves the use of significant resources. He’s not unemployed, he is in full time work. Not appropriate for Go Fund Me. If you travel to Thailand and have no money behind you then an informal cremation in Thailand is the best you can expect.

Hey! look at this low IQ posters! It is crazy isn't it? People using the platform for for its intended purpose. The cheek of them!

 

Fundraising on GoFundMe is easy, powerful, and trusted. With no fee to start, GoFundMe is the world's leading crowdfunding platform—from memorial tributes and funerals to medical emergencies and nonprofits. Whenever you need help, you can ask here.

Let’s check this dunderheads claims with reality?
 

Firstly, Go Fund me do not undergo due diligence on any fundraising campaign. So you don’t know whether the claims made are in fact genuine or not?

Secondly, Go Fund me cannot guarantee that the funds will be used for the stated purpose?

Yet, according to this moron, anyone who objects to this fundraiser has a low IQ? Quite the opposite, we’re just not easily taken in by claims on trust.

You expect international SWIFT transfers to be as near as dammit free as opposed to a 5/8ths-of-fck-all €15?

It was a ridiculous amount to take.

Never a good idea to close a UK bank account unless you're forced to or unless you can easily open another.

It was the Cyprus bank that did the swiping. I just don't want to deal with them anymore.

It's not too bad really. I transferred 250 Euro from Cyprus to the UK and the bank swiped 15 Euro. I'm closing the account.

It was kind of you to google it and to post that did so.

 

If you had not forgotten to add the link to the results page, which would have taken only a few more seconds, you would have gained a lot of esteem and respect, and you could have saved the time and effort you employed in posting your offensive and abusive replies in the discussion that ensued.

 

I am now posting that link for you with the search results obtained with the keywords you mentioned:

https://www.google.com/search?q=drugged+and+robbed+in+Thailand&oq=drugged+and+robbed+in+Thailand&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDQwNTFqMGo0qAIOsAIB&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

 

My posts were in response to a poster who was insulting off the bat ... so fire with fire. Those that dish it out deserve responses in kind. 

But in any case, point proved ... this kind of thing happens a lot. Thank you.

Attempts to insult me are pointless.  But feel free to try again , I have no Idea what "gaslighting" means, and have never heard of "Martha" or her "baby reindeer"   your responses are getting more and more bizarre, were your drinks spiked this morning?  

That’s exactly what Martha would have said.

   Thanks indeed "Kieth"  for an amusing anecdote  A" high level doctor"  drugged and robbed by a prostitute in Thailand,  well that's certainly something we don't hear about very often.

          Any way so far 3 cases all of which apparently occurred "years ago"   more than likely the perpetrators were ladyboys and the "drugged"

part was a pathetic attempt to save face.  What exactly is a high level doctor, or a low level doctor come to that?    You are clutching at straws, and starting to look ridiculous give it  up. It does happen, but not "quite often" except in your imagination 

The only person looking ridiculous is you, Rent-A-Troll. Two posters relate their own experiences, none of which you would find in a newspaper, and google is full of articles on this subject. So now you've moved from trolling to gaslighting.

Are you Martha from Baby Reindeer?

. Many people get drugged in Los, I got drugged in my hotel room years ago, a friend of mine who is a high level Dr got drugged, lots of people I've met have at some stage been drugged and woken up robbed. 

You have to learn about Thailand's dangers and be weary of them, my Dr friend got hit when he went to the toilet in a restaurant, and the girl still managed to get him home, he woke up minus lots of money and his laptops and phone gone, CCTV caught the girl on camera, very high class, but never caught her. 

Thanks Keith ... the point that I was making is that this happens quite often. And you and another poster have given personal examples.

 Well it appears that you are one of those people that has difficulty understanding what they have read  Show me  were I have asked you (or anybody else for that matter for any "evidence"    You won't be able to because I have not, the reason being that I don't really give a To$$ about your evidence.

   I did however advise you to review your sources and not to believe everything you read on google or the newspapers which as you correctly state are pretty much the same thing 

How often does that happen? And when did you last read this in the news?
 

just paraphrasing your very first post asking me the above questions. The fact is you don’t care what the answer is, because it’s really all about the trolling.

This happened to a work colleague about 20 years ago...  he went out, never returned home for a three days. 

He remembers very little of it, he required urgent medical attention.

A lot of money was missing from his account. He was an otherwise very responsible professional, although he'd been drugged at a rather dodgy bar. 

 

This is the only first hand example I know of this happening. 

 

That said, A few years back at a dodgy pop-up street bar in Sukhumvit, well after hours, I was drunk and wasn't really paying attention to my beer while talking with my friend...  I took another 'swig' of my beer and it was acrid & bitter....  enough to immediately make me spit out my mouth-full on the floor...   I just paid my bill (one beer) and told my friend, thats it, we have to go now... 

 

We left and I then told him what had happened, that I'd tasted something very strange and suspected there may be something that had been added to the beer.

I went home and never felt anything...  but still wonder if that something nefarious was being planned by the girls at the 'pop-up' bar.

 

Always watch your beer....   this of course is unrelated to the Op, but in response to the above comments.

 

While very rare, I don't believe this attempts are the urban-myth some make them out to be, although many may feel terrible the next day and suspect such 'spiking' of their drinks, but its usually because of the cheap bootleg liquor they have been drinking.

 

 

 

Thank you. That’s the point I was making. This is happening a lot more than people think, and most of it is not reported. 
 

Expect Rent-A-Troll to be around in a minute to explain that it must just be your imagination, and you must have dreamed it all after spending too much time on Google and Facebook.

I doubt you listen to anybody. just blindly believe what you see on face book or google,  Bit like a teenager

And you're some old man who doesn't understand that Google is a search engine, and when you google about people being drugged and mugged in Thailand it comes up with numerous articles ... from newspapers!!! Written by journalists, based on research not rumour or innuendo. 

You're another one of these waste of space trolls who constantly asks people for "evidence" that you have no interest in looking at or acknowledging.

I don't need to google it, and, just like the papers, you really should not believe all you read on the internet,

Or listen to idiots like you.

There was a post 3 hours before this saying he had been found. What a bunch of BS you posted though. What you post of has happened, but not Many/many as  you are trying to say.

I've just googled it ... and all I can see is case after case? It happens, and it happens a lot.

"several times over the years"  you will need to be a bit more specific than that , how many times over how many years ?  

 

Your original statement was ... Many foreigners go with girls/ladyboys who drug and rob them. Many of them are too thick to get the dosage right, and the poor mark ends up dead.

 

I think you need to review your sources for your "Thailand related news"   and also your personal interpretation of the word "many"

 

Sorry, let me consult that database I keep of all known cases? Feel free to believe that what I've stated is wrong ... but try google ... drugged and robbed in Thailand.

And how often does that actually happen?  When was the last time it appeared in the news? Think you have been reading too many airport paperbacks

I don't read airport paperbacks, but I have read Thailand related news over many years. And this type of thing ... drugging and mugging ... has been reported several times over the years. 

I think the family have every reason to be concerned, particularly as his disappearance and lack of contact is out of character. Many foreigners go with girls/ladyboys who drug and rob them. Many of them are too thick to get the dosage right, and the poor mark ends up dead. I have a feeling this is one trip to Thailand that won’t have a happy ending.

I find this story hard to believe?

Your ex wife demands money and you give it to her? Report you to the Police for what? 

Your story makes no sense.

This happened to me in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The taxi driver was given the correct money and tried to show me paper notes that were much smaller ... it is a well known con in Vietnam because the notes look so similar. 

Now I always count the notes into the hand of the driver. Fool me once ..... etc.
