    Goodness this touches a nerve...

     

    Listen to me. Four years ago I had exactly the same problem as you. It very nearly split my family up. My family consists of me, my Thai wife and two children. I also have a good job, well paid, in Bangkok. 

    But my situation was exactly the same as yours. I have great sympathy. My wife (a former bar girl too) would not stop playing cards. Every day. Lies every day. I lost a lot of money, about THB1 million in total. I had had enough and was on the brink of a painful divorce. And would you believe it that at that time we had also been together 11 years. So many similarities.

     

    But here is what we did. We moved. We moved away from that village where she gambled all the time. We moved into a totally new area in Bangkok. A new house, new schools, new friends, new everything. My wife had to change her life. And that stopped her gambling. Gambling was fuelled by her so-called 'friends' in the former village. They were nothing but animals.

     

    So far, so good. She has stopped. I am wary of course, but am now able to trust her again. 

     

    My advice to you. MOVE. Move away from her 'friends' who she gambles with.

     

    This is good advice .... change the stagnant environment.

  2. The Bank or finance company will want to recover the total amount owing which is the payout figure.

    If you owe 500K still then the bank or FC will take court action to recover the amount owed.

    The LED ( legal execution dept')  will auction the car and the amount will be deducted from the final payout figure that's required. Then, if that's not sufficient, they will auction what other assets you may have to get the money owed back.

    the best part of teaching in a rich private school was all the envelopes that kept arriving mysteriously into my hands around grading period. when i went to the admin they informed me that if i didnt inflate the grades, they would, because  the parents were 'important people' so i might as well accept the tips - i quit soon after

    obviously you didn't follow the rules .....  hence you were an outcast from the start.  Can i ask if you are an elderly teacher and drinker ?

    Stop giving her money
    Go see a lawyer.

    haha .....  correct,  but the problem is that in Thai law the lawyer has his hands tied and cannot do so much. 

    He may BS that this can happen then this .... bla ... bla ...  but further down the track his work will be limited because of Thai law.

    That is it here , they are not bothered if you do not eat there again.

     

     

     

    exactly .... the chef, the waiter, the cashier and even the owner won't lose any sleep if you don't come back.

    They were probably talking about the fussy farang while heating it up in the kitchen.
