Are they not both foreigners in this scenario?

You genuinely believe that Cambodia has fully recovered from the Khmer Rouge? That's ridiculous.

Because it isn't happening and you're lying? Nothing about that story suggests dementia. To be honest, if you can't understand it, there might be something wrong with you. If you want to see dementia in action, watch Biden in the recent presidential debate.

Gotta love the "here's my pointless opinion about how pointless your opinion is" posts from these types... 🙄

monks in Thailand always seem to be up to this kind of thing. Drugs, prostitution, murder. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised by this.

Why? They aren't doing that to anywhere near the same level. They are very much still worth the little trouble they cause.

More than that, they get all the "foreigners are bad" news stories they want as well. It's a real double whammy.

It's true. Thai people never scam anyone, while foreigners are constantly trying it. This attitude will continue to serve the Thai people well during these trying economic times.

They could own literally all the condominiums in Thailand, and they still wouldn't have any power.

I believe that's how most great nations fell, condo ownership... 🙄

So, even though everything is working fine, they're setting up a "panel" and a "fund". I wonder why... 🤔

He's a troll. He just says the thing he thinks will aggravate people. Ignore him.

"Mai bpen rai."

As well as economic issues, it's failing to adapt to societal changes brought about by social media. I wonder if anyone will ever do anything to address it, or if the risk of losing face or upsetting people is so great that the youth will just be left to get on with it.

Need to give that magic money tree a good shake. Do these people think that tourism is still booming or something?

Don't reply. He's a troll. He just says whatever he thinks will aggravate people.

So daft. This can only be because a few people don't like the idea of cannabis being legal. If people were worried about harm, they would be campaigning to ban alcohol.

Funny, this is literally what you need to do.

A nice thing to do, but I doubt she saved the new employee's life here.

All the most vulnerable people that covid killed off were also the most virile?

More perception than experience, and also logic. Why would a young, attractive woman stay with a much older retired foreigner and care for him until death, if she doesn't stand to get a major payout when he dies? (When she could have spent time finding someone who would marry her and ensure she is taken care of.) I guess he could be paying her a wage, but that's just the different side of the same coin. You talk about "liking/loving", so I think you've possibly misunderstood what kind of relationship my comment describes. It's very much a quid pro quo.

I meant any assets the man has in Thailand. It's common for them to be in the woman's name, as foreingers cannot own much in Thailand. This means the woman can simply send the guy away.

Sadly, women will keep stringing a guy along, even when they have a solid guy of their own. Either as aback-up or someone to make them feel good about themselves. Look up "beta-orbiter".

Either way, she's not being honest or open with you about what she's doing, which means she's doing something that she doesn't want you to know about. The chances of that being something good are extremely low. Probably time to cut your losses. She's likely only keeping you around as a back-up or for validation. It's either an enthusiastic yes, or it's a no, as they say.

It's a "fact", but not one that I can readily support with evidence. A lot of people make this sort of claim. I think murder of foreigner husbands, while not completely unheard of, is, luckily, quite rare. Generally, I think if the woman is bad, then she will find a way to take everything without killing the foreign husband. Any assets in Thailand will be in the Thai woman's name anyway.
