If i I may ask what persuaded you to leave for ever ( I am having very serious second thoughts about coming back)

Doubt it, you need two hands to Wai don't you?

Its been written numerous times in this thread, 100 Euro's is not an insurance scam !! its daft to even draw such a conclusion, besides insurance usually won't cover cash. 

 

How could there be any evidence ?... you are drawing some crazy assumptions, usually that means rape ? WHAT >? No it doesn't !...  they cooperated... they weren't beaten...  so of course there were no physical marks. 

When driving / riding around a new city it would be very simple not to recognize or remember an area especially under such stressful circumstances. I've been driving in Bangkok for nearly 20 years, know the city extremely well and there are still areas I'd get lost in and not be able to find again. 

 

And the final question: Why would anyone even bother to make up such a story ?... there is no motive to do so

 

 

 

Perfectly summarised. Well done indeed.

Nothing more need be said on the matter.

Sorry old friend but neither of the above ever fascinated me, they just broke my balls and after completing my a levels I consigned them to history never to be revisited.

Seems a bit fishy. It is not uncommon for Thai people to pretend they are police and rob people. Has happened a few times to the older Thai folk in our village. Young Thai know to ask for some sort of ID, old Thai do not. Seems tourists also do not.

Oh I don't know about that WW old chum, just look at the scenario; one bloke and his attractive bird surrounded by Herbert's, probably armed and in the back of your mind there are the stories if the goings on in Koh Tao. Not a nice situation to find yourself in. 

Its a shame that yhe the taxi driver wasn't one of those outstanding citizens who returns bags of untold riches seconds before the person who lost it gets on the plane etc. Story would have had a different ending. 

How ow did they get 9 people in the taxi to Plod central?

My wife was NEVER in the wrong. It was ( and still is ) all my fault.

However, it's difficult to stay cool when one has been subject to 4 hours of back seat driving!

You know what chaps, buy a two seater car, that stops back seat driving but sadly unless you own a maclaren you will always be open to driving advice from the seat behind the space where the steering wheel goes in most third world countries.........(the left side)

I am still in counselling. It has been a long time gone, still and I am getting help to this very day. It slowly passes, but I am still to this day, this hour, this second, worry and care about this person well-being as well. My current wife hates it, but she has been into the sessions and saw's what damage has been done, and that has helped her. Good people have feelings, we have careful souls, and I am a soft touch, so it hurts more.

 

All I have learnt from my sessions now is that she was responsible for much; so was I just as well in some cases to blame but in the end, you do learn to suppress it as time heals everything. My counsellor told me many Thai ladies stay with drunken, poor Thai husbands because that is the best they could get, yet they still care greatly for them till death. He told me in it all depends on the person we get and those words helped me greatly.

 

I hope that helps in some way. You are not alone.

 

BTW; I am sitting in an Internet Cafe. I wanted some time out for myself. It is just so full of beautiful women and I as I look across at such perfection, a part of me still says, even with all the vexes and problems I have encountered in this country, life, even at times so painful needs to be lived. I am far past my youth but I can see lots of laughter and happiness here, and I do hope, things for all of us in Thailand can find some sense of contentment. 

Hi TTU old chum, 

indeed your words were the words of hope hope that I had missed either due to being self absorbed or illiterate as for sure my thread bros have been fantastically supportive throughout. 

I had to read your post post several times again possibly due to the two old favourites self absorbed or illiteracy but it hit right on the nail. Yes there are times when we may be wrong and there are definitely times  when what is considered as acceptable behaviour in LoS causes strife. I can see absolutely no rationale behind putting blood before husband then lying about it. There is no cultural upside and all I can see is zero respect and taking the piss out of the farang. If it is more important to be seen to support the indig blood line than it is being supportive of the one you chose to spend your life with and, in many cases, the one who certainly lifted you up a few social levels with the sudden affluence then accept the consequences of that action. 

I was offered psyciatric help in Thailand after suffering scary hallucinations during an expensive stay at Khorat Memorial hospital being wrongly treated for a seriously misdiagnosed condition, however I declined it. 

My reasoning at the time was that in all in all likelihood the psychiatrist would end up asking questions via my wife and receiving responses in the same manner. The result of my wife's translation of my answers would dictate if I became an involuntary guest at an unnamed secure facility nearby Don Meuang airport or not.

a bit too flimsy for me!

if you don't mind me asking are you receiving help from an indig psychiatrist or a farang one?

Cheers

fair enough. I just read the papers back home and it reminds me why I prefer it out here. sure, it's not perfect. nowhere is but I think it's pretty safe all round. I suppose with kids the main issue would be getting them into a decent school which costs money out here.  well it does in the uk to a certain extent having to pay extra live in catchments areas or sending them private

Hi happy man, 

I am exactly the opposite, having lived in the "thai reality bubble" for four straight years and feeding my "knowledge" of all things British from the mass media I wAs not at all happy to return here. 

Luckily my bubble burst and I returned to the UK. True it is not perfect but as an example, I drove for 9 hours yesterday using motorways,, A roads and B roads. In towns and within the countryside. 

You know what? 

I never saw an accident, a fatality, a halfwit with no helmet on, children falling out of cars, unrestrained kids sitting in the front seat, standing between daddy's legs or any of the sights one can easily expect to see in LoS. I was not cut up by a retard nor were there any attempts to perform a U turn on the motorway. No tailgating, overtaking on the inside, Lane hogging and not once did I get blinded by some "harry halfbrain" driving towards me or behind me with his fog and main headlights l on. 

This was completed in daylight and nighttime in sunshine sunshine and driving rain.

Most strange!

maybe I have just got a new bubble.......... 

one thing is for sure, reading the TVF headlines today, I will have to think twice about returning to "paradise" 

I have met both the good and the bad but what has always amazed ( and upset) me is the lack of empathy or sorrow once caught with their fingers in the cookie jar. Several times it got the distinct impression that they were trying to somehow lay the blame on me for them not repaying or stealing the car or whatever. 

I could give stories of both of both types but I am sure most have encountered them in daily life.

i do take offence at the poster who intimated that you get what you deserve ( meet people like you)  and I call that utter nonsense. I have been nothing but supportive to my wife's kids, never been in anyway dishonest. Paid the vast majority of the cost of the sons new house which I discovered had been completed but he, his rotten wife and their spawn preferred to stay at our house and make zero contribution to any of the costs (age mid 30's) and allowed their spawn to damage virtually everything they touched.

so i requested that hat they move into the house that I had financed and immediately I was hated. I was told it was too far from work ( 20 km) so too tired to drive home at night.

a couple of months later I discovered that in a pique of hatred towards the farang he had taken out a loan against the car I bought new three years ago in order to buy them a new car themselves. Now refusing to repay that loan and I am pretty sure the repo or loan sharks will be circling shortly. 

I am am no longer there as it was all too much for me but I have advised the wife to drive it to a piece of waste land and burn the <deleted> thing. Then let's see who is in the cackar. 

Lying does come easily to the Thais in my experience  not always with malicious intent but lying is still lying. 

Pretty sure the apologists will have something to say but frankly there is little they can say to piss me off now. I left and those who delude themselves by making excuses for every fault they encounter will one day wake up.

I am afraid that I started laughing at that point however I owe the wise one an apology as he apparently does have a brother in LoS.

Did you read what I said, or were you simply blinded by your dislike of what I said? Where did I say you were medically trained and what was the vitriol I spouted?

 

So you disagree with what I say, where is your position in this mainstay of civilized society? As you say, differences of opinion and mature dialogue is a norm in civilized society. So, where is your adherence to what you purport to believe?

Oh for christs sake get a life or better still some professional help.

I disagree.  I am widely travelled and have not met a more racist race than the Thais.  Whether it's double charging or holding farangs responsible for accidents when the culprits are patently Thai.  If occasionally someone on here voices his frustration at the unfairness of it, you can understand it.

I also happen to agree that generally Thais are lazy.  I know a few who work but not hard.

Well said my friend, well said!

Come on guys  what is so difficult about wearing regulation shoes.?

tha sad thing about the old school education system ( pardon the pun) is that back in the day, canings were frequent  and could be administered by masters and prefects alike. Nowadays you have to locate a specialised "outlet" and pay handsomely for it. 

Its just not right!

Anyone heard of the APP that allows remote sexual engagement?

 

My brother says it work like this:

 

Put the sensors on the parts that you want aroused. The sensors are then  plugged into the computer via the USB port.

 

The APP then allows the girl to 'touch' through the sensors. It's all the rage evidently. Very cheap, and safe, form of prostitution and the girl can service dozens of boy friends every day from in front of her computer. 

 

Good for the guy and good for the girl I reckon.

Hi oh wise one, whilst I have no interest in such an app ( honest!)  I have a friend who is interested. 

If you get caught by your nearest and dearest is it considered as adultery?
