    ???? Don't mistake those tears for a broken heart. They are tears for missed opportunities, for a lifetime of leeching and being cared for financially. I'd say percentages of those genuinely nursing hurt from the heart would be extremely low.

    I agree, but a bit too late for this chaps, it's basically set. It's all on their terms now, especially since the bride agrees the 1 million baht Sinsod is reasonable.

    Doubt they'll let this fish off the hook that easy. Makes no sense to not try and milk the proverbial cow.

    If that were the case, then they would have said they would return the full amount to the couple (ie. both of them), but no, instead, half to his girlfriend (maybe future wife) which I would presume would either be kept by the parents for safe keeping or in a Bank account in her name only, and the other half would be held by the parents. Which leave sweet FA for the groom. Yeah fduck that deal.

    And yet here you are? ????

    2 chances of that happening now. Bride thinks it reasonable, she aint providing anymore vag until he stumps up 1 mill

    Landlord/Agent total grubs. Nothing more than targeting a foreigner in the hope they can get away with this sheet. I wonder if they would be pulling the same sh!te on a Thai National? A effing total disgrace, no morals, no conscience & a total disrespect for the tenant. A classic case of TiT, very little you CAN do,& so much more you can't.

    When it comes to defending the "farang", unless you have the right contacts, they are "mostly" as bad as it each other. I have a friend going through some legal stuff, and he has already changed lawyers 3 times due to them collecting the fees & doing sweet FA. Good luck finding one that will actually do what he/she is paid to do.

    What the.... How is this any different from any other busy road in Thailand or the rest of the world?

    My dear mum is 80 & 1/2 years & does exactly this... lives one day at a time, until her time is up.

    100% agree. There are those that a fully ok with it & there are those that aren't.

    Train wreck in slow motion me thinks. As soon as you starting supporting, it's game over. Either you do it for the duration, or this go south rather fast. Those who are ok with it, knock yourselves out, it's your money, spend it how you wish, but it aint for me.

    And there lays the major part of the problem. OP, you seem like a decent human, but sadly, chances of this relationship surviving is very low. Make some hardline (non-negotiable) ultimatums or its time to cut losses & GTFO. Feel sorry for the kid.

    bingo I think the suggestion of wanting to get drunk at a Wine bar was the first sign to GTFO.

    Protein, especially Whey Isolate has gone through the roof in prices. In Oz, where i get mine & bring it in, currently with discounts. promo codes etc, average per kilo is about 800 baht ($35) for WPI (unflavoured - 90g protein per 100g) Seem (and has always been the case since I can remember) prices in Thailand have always been more expensive.

    Since 99% of Thais will not pay that much, they are taking the p!$$ out of the stupid farang who think would pay a ridiculous amount for a slice of egg/beacon/pastry Yes, sheer madness.

    WTF is this, foreigner on holidays with no money?? How does a foreigner on holidays just run out of money?
  20. Straight8
    It's called bill padding. Seriously, we won't have the full story, but as soon as they sense the turps is having its affect, and you are not keeping, tabs on your, well tab, all kinds of ***** begins to happen.
  21. Straight8
    I regularly bring in things like that. You'll be fine.
  22. Straight8
    Knowing well the risks involved, these young kids just don't care. They all think they are bullet-proof
  23. Straight8
    putting it bluntly, just another fool and his money to be soon parted.

    Thai jails are not like some jails in the west, so life in a Thai jail may well be worse that death.
  25. Straight8
    makes you wonder what goes through their pea-sized brains when these sort of laws are put into place.. If putting up a negative hotel stay review & getting sued wasn't absolute madness, now this. SMH
