I read this right it said the bodies not discovered for a month TIT

It isn't just Thailand where bodies lay undiscovered in apartments,in the UK there have been 2 separate inquests in recent months where older people have been found dead 6 years after their death though not in such grim circumstances (death presumed from natural causes).

Now the two bodies have been found (RIP) where is the motorbike?

There are a lot of people on this forum willing to presume the guilt of what is obviously a not very nice person but TiT not the Western world,as Confuscious says everyone of us would admit to anything if we were being tortured

How much of this problem is caused by too many people in the world? The destruction of the forests to grow more crops to feed ever more people is detrimental to wildlife of all kinds,if humans are going to remove animals sources of food there will be more accidents of this type.

RIP to the poor lady

Look at Nicola Horlick,a very successful UK business woman who had 6 children(though now divorced and 1 child died with Leukemia)

Well they'll want money to get 'em fixed anyway, so his inspection report should count as evidence, and who passed it fit for the road on last inspection anyway. 

What last inspection!

I won't be using Agoda again, after booking a room for a couple of nights in NSW on a pay at the hotel(which I did),when opening my cc statement when I finally got home I found that Agoda had also taken the money off my cc card,they refuse to refund me because I can't produce a receipt-once bitten twice shy.

I wonder how many cases of supposed covid are actually the result of all the pollution causing inflamed lungs which will then leave the person open to any infections that are around.

What the hell is that all about? 

It's called trust and naivety on the parents part and grooming on the perps part

As you say, you went against the advice previously given and are now paying the price for that.  I don't see too many options for you but I recommend you talk to a lawyer. At the very least that might save you from any further problems - at best, they might come up with a solution that may help you.

 

The land may be in your wife's name and bought before you were married but if things go to court, things are not always as clear cut as they seem.  I presume you have evidence that the money used to buy the land and pay for the house came from you?  Bank transfers etc? If you can show that then it is possible that you could divorce her and force her to sell the land/house to pay you your share.

 

I recently had a car returned to me that I paid for and my ex wife put in her name. That was only possible because I could prove that I had transferred the funds to buy it. I also had a letter from the seller stating that he'd sold it to me (through online negotiations) and as far as he knew, my wife only picked it up.  As a sweetener, I also agreed to drop some criminal charges against my wife.  The gist is that, she took advice and that advice was to take my offer as I could prove my case - my lawyer ountilned the evidence I had against her and I presume her lawyer, friend, whoever, advised her to settle.

 

You need to try to get things on a more non-confrontational footing with your wife.  It is possible that she could be persuaded not to be so confident that she's going to win and accept a deal that gives you something back and allows you to bow out.  You will not win everything, you're going to have to accept that but based on what you say, if you can prove that you paid for everything with money you had before you were married - you stand a good chance of getting something.

 

Where in Isaan are you?  I have a very good lawyer but she's not taking on too many cases at the moment as she's preparing to become a judge.  If you're not too far away from her (Korat) she may take on your case. At the very least, if you are prepared to drive to Korat, I think she would advise you of your options and she will tell you the cost up front.

 

I hear a lot of stories that claim the 'farang always loses' - I can only think that in such cases, 'the farang' didn't actually go legal as my experience has been different.

 

However, there are way too many variables and I suspect, other details, for anyone here to give reliable advice - if I was you I'd at least spend a few thousand baht on the advice of a decent lawyer.

 

On thing I can tell you, if things do have to go to court - the courts in Thailand expect people to negotiate and try to reach a settlement before court.  If either party has acted unreasonably or has refused to negotiate without good reason, that will go against them.  Thai courts hate confrontation but love compromise.

 

Isaan lawyers are also in Korat and are under new (foreign) ownership

 

I would say this is excellent advice,may I also suggest that if you want to see your next birthday you get advice and change your will ASAP,you may wish to live the rest of your life in 'your' house but I think you probably realise in your mind that this isn't going to happen (unless you happen to have an unfortunate  'accident' in which case the rest of your life won't be very long),good luck and we hope you're still around in a years time for us to wish you a happy 76th birthday.

A Dr friend of mine told me that for some reason castration doesn't seem to work on humans the way it does on animals,possibly because we are supposed to be more intelligent,it seems as though there's only one sure way to 'cure' those sort of 'ideas'.

There is a fundamental aspect that you are missing here. Guns are banned here. Getting a license for one is difficult. Not like the insane free for all, in the US, where highs school kids can easily find them. Any anyone want to guess what percentage of firearms used in crimes here come from the toxic military? 

 

So, it becomes an issue of law enforcement, which is not Thailand's strong suit.

Guns are like cars,in the wrong hands they become lethal weapons.

We flew into Thailand in mid January on a 30/45 day tourist visa with our return booked for early April with no questions asked at immigration,we flew to Oz mid February on a single ticket(AirAsia-never again) with a visa for Oz,we then  booked one way tickets to fly back into Thailand from Sydney in March with Thai Airways,there were no questions asked at the airports.

We were very glad we left CMX just after lunch today,the 1st photo was taken coming in to land at CMX on 14th March the 2nd photo was taken today after taking off,the 3rd photo is looking down on the pollution and the 4th one is coming in to land at DMK today,the 5th was taken leaving DMK on the 14th March(as a comparison)..Like nglodnig, I to have been having problems with catarrh for the last week or so,I've also been feeling slightly ill which I suspect is the effects of the smog,we're off back to the problems in the UK next week - but at least we won't have to contend with the awful pollution you have here.

We were supposed to be in Chiang Mai a week ago,got to about 75km away and seeing how bad the smog was we turned round and drove south east to get away from it,we are not looking forward to tomorrow as we have to go to Chiang Mai as we are flying out of CNX on Saturday,I feel so sorry for those people who can't leave.
