How is he going to even get to the airport

Or to his home from his own airport  ?

 The same person(s) he would call for help over there are there right now. Too embarrassed to admit

it to a friend or relative but gladly ask a stranger or new acquaintance ?

Does anyone know if an embassy would front him this type of money?

I wonder if it was counterfeit?

In the late 1990s Cambodia was used as a dumping ground for "Korean" counterfeiters. It's not a stretch to see it coming in from South Korea (originating in North Korea ) again.

Let's say it's not the " super k " type bills . There might still be a network of guys remaining to

It got so dicey back then that US 100s were triple checked everywhere I went .

Marriage and divorce
Topics relating to marriage and divorce in Thailand.

Seems like you are posting in the correct forum but someone confused it with a new forum called "kick me please".

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here are the basics (see the full list below) . You do have some light at the end of the time tunnel if you can wait it out. Easiest is to just stay completely out of touch with her. After 1 year and she can file (without your permission) or after 3 years you can file (without her permission). Change your phone number(s), internet addresses,  Home address ( get a P.O. box) or any legal way she can prove contact and just sit it out.

Example : Since you have no plans to remarry and she might run into another "Hansum Man" who wants to, she can file after one year.

it ain't a thai girl

I honed in on the "date scam" issue because of a similar situation with a girl I met from the Badoo website. Claimed she was working at Big C always stories about management, taking off sick days, store promotions etc.... Turns out she finally admitted she was a Thermae freelancer but wanted the BFE (boy friend experience). The big C job was over before we met......Usually went out dancing, eating and drinking a few times a week . Pretty girl with a clever ruse who was nice to hang out with. The lies were not diabolical . It was just a way of saving face. One day I showed up and she "borrowed" 200 baht to pay a local restaurant bill.....

Here's a guy pretty much doing the same thing (assuming it's not a troll post)  He's 58,

Bar girl , 20 yr old ,  throwing big cash for gash , caveat this time is that he wants a kid in the bargirl bargain....

Wondering if admin will let this TVF link stand here. Not off topic in my view.

[But how do I discuss the subject with a young girl 20-year old. I understand she may have a bf or want to have a bf of her age. But I don't want somebody else having sex with her till she is pregnant and the child is born.}

how much money should I give her to stay with me? If she had a child with me, I am ready to give 10 million to her.

A good guess would be yes. Lately, It has turned into a universal problem solving tool . In a few recent cases people have been tracked back to their own doorsteps depending on the seriousness of the crime.

I'm not trying to get you sweating here just be aware that cctv could be anywhere. There's been a lot of shaming and naming in the news via facebook and the regular news media. 

Predicting your future here is your concern so I can't add anything else of value .....

If you're open to an alternative , why not try "take out" from that place and have your friend spot you or someone else a half priced meal to order and pick up. 

One door closes, another one opens up.....There's probably a better place a few blocks away anyway.

We had a place that served an authentic Szechuan menu ....take out only . 85 year old Chinese guy and his wife 11:00-11:00  until he retired . A little hole in the wall but you could see right into the kitchen. High turnover always means fresh food.

No guessing needed about those special ingredients in the U.S.. They do it . Some get caught, fired and arrested.   This just happened a month ago

Well the end to this story is all most here now.   About 2 years ago i was gonna post that we got married already and that we live in Australia happily every after.     Well................was like that for a long time but things have gone North in the last 6 months, she started getting abit more kang with me and not so sweet, its a long story obviously so I digress.    She found some one loi who is crazy about her and will buy her a new benz.  

 

 I walk away much smarter and happy in away that its over now and not in another 5 years.   I got out financially alright as im not rich (i was younger and ok looking) and he's gonna buy everything for her so all good.    She still is one of the most beautiful Thai girls ive ever seen but really she is a naughty girl.   This new guy is green as, he has never known a Thai or been to Thailand, she is gonna clean him out ????

 

 Too long to tell all now but may later. 

Sad for the Kids as they have become awesome and I love them so much and are really proud of how they have devolved, the daughter asked her mum to live with me but i cant.      Life is crazy really.

She got PR through me too.

 

Edit btw it wasnt a scam in the end. Just her ex was trying to get his sinsod back. He didnt want to sign the divorce papers till he got it, he ended up signing them though.

 

 

 

She got the PR but  luckily he did not come up with the US 30,000.00  .....

The 3 Gabor sisters were married to a total of 20 different men.  Some guys pick the roses but completely forget about the thorns.

Check their facebook pages you'll probably see a video of the whole story.

Can't count how many times people ask me to "take a picture" or hold their phone to record them doing something dangerously stupid to put on youtube or facebook. Both companies are getting incredibly richer from the things these guys do for free at risk of their own health or in this case their freedom.  

An American friend of mine met, married and moved into a nice place with his Thai wife years ago. I  found out this year on a visit that he has decided to become more "Thai" by acquiring  a mia noi to cross it off on his list of things to do.   It became a heated argument when I tried to explain that there was a serious risk involved regardless of his "that's what Thais do why can't I do it " stance. Lately there have been quite a few stories of vengeful Thai wives surfacing in the news.

The fact that his mia noi is also casually involved with a  younger Thai man,  puts my friend in a serious situation of triple jeopardy if either one or all of them lose their marbles one day. . This is one argument that I hope to lose.

This post in in the shadow of the theme already posted by "Bluespunk"

We're like the guest at the party (of life) that everyone avoids because of the bad breath and the knowledge 

that sooner or later earthlings are going to get drunk , start yelling obscenities, put a lampshade on our heads and basically spoil the party for everyone else.......

     We say : I'm European , He's African , She's Asian , They are sub-Saharan ,Samoan or Eskimo etc...

They say "hey look, there goes another one of them thar pesky  "Earthlings."  Watch out, They'll put you on a cross , blow you up, Shoot your ship down, Eat you, prostitute you, trade your spaceship  for a bunch of beads , go to your country depose  your queen then make it a 51st State, try to sell you opium then shoot up your harbor and take your land if you refuse (twice if necessary).....

Hey you're looking for  "intelligent " life.....how dumb do you think they would have to be to ignore 300000 years of this self centered ego maniacal behavior ?  .  When we get ourselves together they will get together with us but until then, the only aliens we meet are going to be a lot dumber not smarter  .And since even those guys won't be going anywhere any sooner than we earthlings, We are just going to  have to wait for that auspicious "1st contact " somewhere in the very distant future.

The whole idea that its staged is bonkers, for a start there is nothing they could benefit from as they won't get compensation.

 

Also you see a snake like grin on the girls face who pinches it as she sees the Thai girls are enjoying themselves and not paying attention

Imagine if this eventually made it to court.
On these secondary eye witness testimonies, the Thai women would be jailed for fraud and the alleged thieves would not only walk but could also sue for defamation = "Thai Style" to give em a piece of their own medicine, right?. 
"We are freelance actresses, we thought they were hiring us for a public service video".

[Note: I'm being factious here]

The imaginary third person i.e. the phantom video "shooter" who amazingly can walk backwards exactly at the same pace and distance while crossing a busy street needs to get a job working in Hollywood.  I'd hire that person in a heartbeat. 

As said before the "Thai fraud" or "Thief guilt" could be easily identified using local "London" cctv feed that covers that area .  They might also be able to show exactly when the alleged gang found out that the money was a sure thing.  For instance if/when she paid a bill at a restaurant or made a withdrawal at an atm.

My website quote,  but not my numbers.  They could actually be omitting the areas and individuals not affected by the surveillance.  Farm/ rural, Industrial ect... , but most estimates of the numbers of  cameras usually start pretty high .

It wasn't a "London camera system" it was the Thais' own video.

 Thought this was common knowledge so sorry for the 2 paragraph omission in my original post.

It was clear to a few others that with over 400,000 London cameras, law enforcement would be able to track and locate these women now that they are aware of which footage to check based on where the crime took place .[ Similar to the 2 cases of grafitti artist in Thailand who were tracked to their guest houses using a network of cctv cameras..]   

This is the "London camera system" I was making a reference to.  

https://vintechnology.com/2011/05/04/top-5-cities-with-the-largest-surveillance-camera-networks/

A recent sampling found that 41 percent of public premises in London have CCTV equipment, and they estimate there is around 420,000 cameras in the city of London. ... Today, the U.K., as a whole, has the largest network of surveillance cameras with an estimated 1.85 million cameras, or one camera for every 14 people.
