  1. She was a working girl who should have been warned by her Thai sisters that Japanese men have tempers as short as their ding-dong. Sad for such a young girl to meet such an end. Hopefully the Japanese man dies from his fall and comes from a rich family so the Thai girl's family may get some recompense. No prostitution in Japan, just expensive 'short time rooms'.

     

  2. I'm afraid this man is short on experience or just plain stupid. Get a refund on that 10,000 Baht allowance.

    I've been with the same woman, married for 27 some years, and she gives me 10,000 Baht a month allowance. We(she) owns 4 homes and gets a fortune when I die. Can't imagine how I got to live this long.

     

  3. Way back when, retired Airmen and lower ranking Sergeants retirement pay was barely enough to pay their mia-noi and bar bills. When it came time to get the certification letter from the US Embassy all they had to do was lie, as in not tell the truth, about their income. Put the right number on the Embassy form, raise your right hand and swear that the amount is true...bingo, show the letter to immigration and you are good for another 90 days or year.

    There is also a form 1199 issued by the DOD that shows monthly salary as well as deductions. Of course, I am reaching the age of being senile so I could be totally wrong.

  4. I feel for the Truck driver. He comes to a proper "U" turn, stops until he has the right to turn, has turn signal on and possibly intoxicated driver speeding and not paying much attention, if any, to speed and stopped truck.

    Such is the cost of driving under the influence,

  5. My companion, later my long term current wife, had a rough background and two young boys. She was honest to the point that some of her background stories hurt my pride but there they were, take her or leave her alone. I didn't initially love her but I gradually fell in love with her. I've met all or most of her extended Thai family, even met her shit ex-husband who showed up for wedding of one of her sons. Family on brides family invited him and I politely, with strong wishes to smash his face, shook his hand. Wife nor sons have any contact with him as he is apparently a qualified pr**k. Has new wife and allegedly treats her has he did my wife. So, an honest and truthful wife is very important to a lasting relationship. Monetarily we are in good shape. She shared our tours in Sudan, Saudi, and Nigeria. We've been to the States and she met all my remaining family plus my Daughter and Son. If you can't or don't want to trust your 'Nurse', tighten the harness of your chute and bail out.

  6. If you are a US Citizen, then the US Embassy gets involved. Your 15th Cousin, twice removed could get involved if there is any (I'm being fascious)(Incorrect spelling) appreciable money involved regardless of your having a Thai legal marriage. As a US citizen you will have to have a US Embassy issued death certificate for your wife to collect your assets and the Embassy will notify any US relatives. Corrective measures?

    1. All property in your wife's name, use a Thai/American lawyer.

    2. All life insurance policies make her sole beneficiary.

    3. Military benefits, her name only.

    (not recommended for marriage to wife of 3 weeks or less)

  7. Thai Officialdom have a plethora of excuses on permanent standby for any unseen event, from fire doors not available, brakes failed, driver fled the scene, hotel emergency lights tested just yesterday and worked, no emergency lights, fire extinguishers stolen by staff, automatic fire suppression units not available in electrical power unit, no, you may not have a first floor room, etc..
