I haven't made any long winded replies. I just asked you to read them thoroughly, and understand them, before you respond too quickly. Many foreigners, especially if they paid 100% for the house, do own it, along with their wives. If they choose to stay, they can. When they leave, the woman gets the house IF he doesn't want a share in it from a sale. As far as fearing for your safety, we don't know what happened. maybe his wife pulled a knife on him like so many here do, and him, being an older, slight man, maybe not able to defend himself, walked away without thinking. or maybe he was drunk and not in a frame of mind to remember his things, and was threatened.

Because she tried to get the house and her lawyer, and the judge, said since he paid 100% you can't get the house or have him leave, gives me the right to stay. Wake up, experience things before you make opinions. If they decided to kick me out, I would go to court, file a motion to sell the house, and wait for a buyer. I'm waiting for her to do the right thing, for her daughter's sake, and help us re-establish back in the US. Everyone here knows she'll do better in the US, along with my ex. If she doesn't, she will not get this house and we will just leave. When you pay 100% for something, from money accrued before you met someone, it's all yours.

Yes, I don't get it, that him and a few others have such intolerance for other foreigners. They actually think they're a resident here, not knowing just how many are only tolerating them because of the money they spend here. If you didn't like your home country, it isn't a reason to trash others from there, of other foreigners because of the actions of a few dolts that come here and cause problems.

Before you assume, read . This property wasn't bought. It was already in the family's name. I had the house built, and the house was put in her name, as it always is. Nothing to do with any money. I paid everything to build this house, so I can stay. It's still their land in their possession, although the government owns it

Gottfrid, almost every time we talk, you assume I don't know something, when I already do. You must read, and understand, all of what I write before coming back and assuming. I said it could be either one of their faults, or both sides cause of this, although the man, being a foreigner, must have enough money to stay here. Of course I know about agents, and it's possible she was paying for everything, but highly unlikely. A man here that has a wife who owns the house can be kicked out, especially under threats or if he's a little slow because of dementia or another illness. We weren't there. maybe she pulled a weapon and threatened him, as many here are prone to. Maybe other relatives or older children were also there, and told him to leave. he isn't a big man, so threatening him could be easy. It isn't being stupid in the heat of the moment, getting kicked out of your house and not thinking of taking your possessions. He could have thought about it minutes later, but feared for his safety. Before you assume again, you have no idea just how much I know about domestic problems, what you need to do, or what can happen. When you go through a few divorces, especially involving children, and have those children end up living with you, as I will this one, you do understand what rights you have, and that you might have to play dirty to get what's right for your children. Again, read everything before replying, and stop assuming, as you don't know how much anyone else here knows. This isn't our country, so we have to play along, using the law if need be, and doing what you can to not be taken advantage of. Before you judge, you need to put yourself in other's shoes before you understand what they're going through. You might have a good marriage now, and treat your wife very well, but I did, and the real her eventually came out, and you can't hide crazy forever. But you don't let crazy get over on you forever.

The thing they should do is have signs in Suvarnabhumi, telling first time foreign arrivals, "There are cameras everywhere, so think about this before you lose control of your emotions or are thinking about committing a crime here.".........It isn't like back home in the US, although there are many cameras, not like there is here, at least not outside major cities.

My best friend, same age, 68, has dementia now, and lives in a care facility where he can leave but they're trying to help him and he's been there quite awhile. He can remember when we went fishing at a certain place 35 years ago, among all other things, but forgets things 5 minutes ago all the time, and when he was in the first place , after he fell and hit his head, he left and was wandering in traffic saying, they're keeping me a prisoner! He's adapted okay now, but his constant daily drinking led to his problem, along with falling and hitting his head while drunk. If this is this man's case, hopefully he has relatives they can contact to help with his possessions and to get him secured.

You can build on land the government gives you, using it as you please, for a house or rice, cassava etc. You can own the structure, the house, but not the land.

You see it in the US but they won't go far without being pulled over and warned to get it fixed. It's mostly vehicles with extreme mileage where oil gets past the rings, so it needs major work, which most here can't afford. It can also be a bad fuel/ air mixture. Everyday you see all types of vehicles smoking and are never pulled over, as far as we can see, as they pass the police just like the countless without helmets. Just like back home, you'll see people with a run down house but a Cadillac or nice pickup.

She tried to get the house, which would have been the worst mistake she could ever make, but the court doesn't give the house to a woman when the foreigner paid 100% for it and can prove it. I can stay here until I die if I want, but we'll be moving as soon as possible. It's on government land, so selling it would be very hard, so I'm trying to negotiate a price with her and her new husband, a foreigner living in Poland, to do what's right for our daughter and also what's fair. They get the house, will have one here and one in Poland, we can move back to Texas, everyone wins. If she doesn't play fair, the house will never be hers alone, and we'll just leave.

I should have thought about this when I was in my 40's. I could have let my hair grow, put on lipstick, called my self Louise and won all the Olympic Woman's weightlifting events.

It is my house, as well as hers, but I can stay as long as I want, or force the sale and she will get a percentage, even though I paid 100% for it.

True. Unless he was the problem and was abusive a drunk, or neglective or a combination of those,and that might warn her from trying again, but you never know, as some people don't care what they have, as long as it comes with the cash.

No, it's in her name on government land.

Please don't try and patronize someone who's education is obviously far above your own. That you don't understand a lot of what I say isn't my fault. Foreigners have to have money in the bank to stay, which means he isn't giving it all to his wife. I thought you lived here for so many years and should already know this. I understand English is not your first language, but it is mine, so sometimes you get lost in the translation. Where , by this story, is it obvious he doesn't have any money? Nowhere. His money is most likely still in a bank, and since she kicked him out, his paperwork is likely still in the house, until he can be escorted by the police to get it.He's not considered homeless. He was just kicked out, and those that live here, foreigners, know full well how some Thai women can get, demanding, intimidating, manipulating, forceful, abusive, etc. He might not be the type who says, "no one's going to kick me out of my own house", because he fears reprisals by her family of friends, seeing he's a slight man. What do you consider the stupid behavior on his part, from this short story?

But that extension won't be in 7 days. He has a lot of time to stay, especially if the marriage was a legal one. We know very little of this story. If he paid 100% for that house, it's also his to stay in and a court date has to happen. They don't go looking to kick you out the moment a woman tries to kick you out of the house. He can stay until the divorce, and also longer if his marriage visa is still valid.............https://www.thaiembassy.com/family/divorce-in-thailand

No, the older a woman gets here, the less likely a local will want her, especially if she has kids. Except of course to just use and toss aside.

A lot of people don't know this happens, just like it does in Myanmar but on a much smaller scale, with only a few involved.

He has more time than that, especially because a divorce takes time. After the divorce, he can switch to either a dependent visa, if there are children, or a retirement if he's old enough.

To use a woman for her money? I'm thinking that won't happen Don Juan.

What does that mean exactly? How can you see who has the money in this story? As a farang, it's a lot more likely that he's the breadwinner. There is a slight chance that she has money, the house, a job, etc, and he's living on his pension, but more likely it's the other way around. And if he has that pension or retirement, he's also more likely to have more than she does.

If he's been living here legally, he has his money to fall back on, so now he's likely in a much better place, especially is she's the problem. And if she is, and she had a good free rid, now karma will take over and she'll be left with what she had before, which is likely nothing but that house.We don't know their ages, but if shes in her middle ages, she might have kicked out her ATM.

I'm living in the house until we leave. No one will kick me out of my house, and karma comes around when a woman does things to an innocent man. I'm not near the only one who has picked a disturbed woman here and paid a price, along with being threatened with knives, as I hear it a lot. As far as greed, eventually the ones who only look at men for their money will also pay a price when he leaves or dies, as they'll only have their middle aged self who no locals want, along with any children still in the house. But yes, they'll have that gold. Some here are ticking time bombs and their men haven't a clue until it happens.

Hmong rebels have been at it against the military for awhile, so likely them. Old school hatred still in some perhaps?

When people don't like a certain nationality, they automatically put the blame at that nationality. Many times we see it's the Brits, Russians, Chinese or Middle Easterns that get the flack, with a scattering of Americans, Irish, Polish , Germans and Swedes.
