agree, but there is one risk, if he does not get divorce, which includes him getting sole custody, he is always at risk that she will blackball him., by threatening to go to court. another thing (I may have missed it) but if he does get a divorce - in Thailand, don't the assets get split 50:50 ?

Everything he had before marriage is his alone, everything acquired during marriage including any money is split 50/50. If property is involved built or bought during marriage is 50/50, the problem comes when he tries to sell the house (not land it’s standing on) as she can make things extremely difficult. 
Get your <deleted> together and walk out the door and put many miles between you and her and then reassess the situation from a place of safety. 
I understand you don’t have much money, but chalk the house down to lost money, then anything you do manage to get out of it will be a bonus. 
A lawyer is going to be needed sooner or later to legalise divorce and property split, if that ever happens. 

Apparently what kicked it off was one Indian guy ordered a small beer and 30 straws and then all hell kicked off when he asked for more straws. ????

Something smells about this story. ????

We do not want Thailand to become an LGBTQ+ paradise!

Who’s we? Just how many people do you speak for? 2or 3 or 100,000. Who voted you to speak for anyone but yourself.

 I’m interested to know. ????

Just another scam to get applicants to open their wallets for VFS. UK Government should really pull their license/contract to issue visas etc. ????

Copy what Buffett or another rich person does.

Compound interest and buy shares for the long term. Worked for me for 50 years. ????

I met my future Thai wife while she was studying for her first degree at Oxford University. I had an extremely well paid job so wasn’t short of money and she was 18 at the time and her family back in Thailand were seriously rich.
Two years later and I retired and moved to Thailand, where we married with her families blessings. She doesn’t act like a HiSo, so that helps I suppose.

There’s a 26 year age difference which was maybe what she liked, I don’t know. Married now for 24 years with a teenage son. We have spoken often on why she didn’t want a Thai husband and her reply was always the same, “they can’t be trusted, they drink to much and all they would want would be my money”.

As an only child, she will inherit a lot of money, but she doesn’t seem to care about that. All she cares about is our family and her family.
She’s not into clubbing and doesn’t drink alcohol at all. We tend to travel a lot with our son and that’s what makes her happy. 
Good luck to any guy who marries a bar girl, some marriages last a lifetime, some don’t.

How can you tell that the radiator is damaged with the AC condenser mounted in front of it.

We’ll call me old fashioned, but I’d look at the radiator whilst attempting the repair to the AC unit, it is, after all, right in front of you! Where did you think the radiator was, in the boot? ????

We had a huge hornets nest (1 meter across and the same in length) in the eaves of our house in Hua Hin. I offered to pay the builders on site 1000 Baht to remove it, they refused the money but asked to keep the nest for the grubs which they liked to eat. So up the ladder the guy went with a balaclava on and with some burning/smoking cardboard and a couple of big, black bin liners.
 

He smoked the nest and used a machete to cut the nest in pieces and popped them into the bin bags. Obviously the hornets went crazy, but he didn’t seem too worried and carried on until the nest lay in bags on the garden. 
We of course locked ourselves in the house until the job was finished and the remaining hornets had gone. ????

That’s the way son, keep it in the family. ????

You make far too many ass-umptions.... best you learn how to wipe.

In the army years ago the paper was the smooth, shiny variety and you only got 3 sheets at a time. One sheet to wipe up, one sheet to wipe down and one sheet for polishing. ????

Bum fodder (called such by my mother because you’re always trying to shove it up your ass) has its place, but a bum gun or bidet is so much better and much more hygienic, as long as you don’t get one that has a hair trigger that blasts your balls off when using it. I’m waiting for someone to design one with a HD camera attached, so that I can aim directly at the orifice and hit the bullseye every time. ????

Well I married my Thai wife before she was 20. There’s an age difference of 25+ years. We’ve been married for 24 years with one child. Oh, forget to mention, I had plenty of money and was retired age 47 when we met, but she was loaded and I mean loaded with family money passed to her when she was 18, so didn’t require anything from me. Been married for 25 years with one child and spend our time between UK, Thailand and Italy. 
Yes we get stared at, mostly by Farang s, but that’s probably because she is a stunningly beautiful woman, so we don’t give a <deleted> what people think. 

Seems many people could soon have a waterfront view. Knowing Thais, they’ll look on that as an opportunity to sell at an inflated price. ????

Wassana Mueanchit was not his girlfriend. His girlfriend Koi, came out from the adjacent house after hearing the screams. Koi is my wife's cousin. We had a phone call a short while after to be told what happened. If he was not going back to work the next day he would have been on holiday with us and not there. Fact!! Unfortunately, Thai media cover ups do not disclose facts!! If you cannot handle truth don't read sensitive 'stories'

Doesn’t alter the fact that the OP stated “his girlfriend drove 90 miles to discover the body” 

Anybody reading that has to assume that to be FACT! So stop whining <deleted>!

Where did you get that rubbish about his missus driving 90 miles. She was in an adjacent property!! 

Unfortunately, this 'story' misses out 90% of other facts and truths that make the murdered man sound responsible. It misses main points about the murderers phsycho problems, lack of care and medicines from his supporting family and especially how the attacked guys and other local 'ferrangs' took care of him before. Jealousy probably. ????????????????

Something doesn’t smell right about this story. ????

I wonder how many people go to a coffee shop, drink the coffee, and walk out after that.

It seems in many coffee shops the idea is to order a coffee, wait a little, drink a little, sit a little longer, maybe have another coffee, and then, maybe after 30 minutes or more, leave.

 

There are of course people who buy a coffee to go. But most people who sit want to sit for a while and relax.

Our customers have various cakes and other foods with their coffee and can either sit in the garden in the sunshine and look at the sea, or in the shade under the house above. 
Opened our beach front coffee shop in our garden in 1999 in Hua Hin and most weekends we have to turn away customers because we are full up. 
Must be doing something right, but location is important. 

Yet another anchor rope bought on EBay. 

“Seized all of his assets”? 
 

Was he stupid enough to keep all of his assets in a Thai bank and how did they manage to seize his websites?

They didn’t find my cat, probably because I didn’t have one. ????

Why does Thailand allows its nationals to enter the country on a foreign passport? Any decent country would not allow this and in the rare case something like an overstay situation were to come to light, proving citizenship would be enough to get out of any penalties.

My wife and son both hold dual citizenship (Thai & British) and depending on how long they will be staying in Thailand, often enter Thailand on their British passports. Sometimes she chooses which passport to use on entry to Thailand based on the length of queues at immigration. ????

It’s completely legal. Many other countries allow dual citizenship to those holding two passports, what’s your problem with that?
 

We often travel to other countries from the UK and they either travel on British passports or Thai passports, no problem.

And you seem to know Thailand as I do and mentioned.  OP needs to be aware he needs some friends watching out for him.   Just saying ...

Unless his friends are willing and able to spend every waking hour with him and nights as well for protection, then he should really consider moving out and putting the property on the market, she may then decide to pay him his half, or something near what his half is worth. 
Staying in the house will only make his situation worse and could potentially lead to him being seriously harmed. 
 

Not what he wants to hear, but he needs to hear it no less.
