Yes, these women here are merciless and their families demand and demand without an end. RIP rubbish its only a matter of time that your GF/wife will begin ripping you off, or maybe she already is and you don’t even notice it. The minute a foreigner arrives on Thailand he is to be taken advantage, no matter what, its only a question of time, mark my words and check your wallets and bank accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 6 hours ago, wolf81 said: I am not married but have a Thai girlfriend and daughter. We're building a house for a lot less money, about 1.5 million baht. Personally I'd be ok to walk away from this property and leave it to my GF and daughter if we ever had any problems. But I am also happy to not spend more. And my GF is kinda sometimes hinting me to marry her, but I will avoid it. I feel if we'd be married, she or our daughter might be entitled to my oversees properties and that could cause problems for me eventually. Better safe than sorry. Reading the last line of your post I would say it's probably best you never marry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Deerhunter Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 37 minutes ago, Happy enough said: rubbish Yes rubbish. There are exploitative families and wives here like everywhere on earth, particularly including "back home" where the divorce laws in most countries favour the wives. There are grasping families here but they are by no means a given. As long as your wife and her parents are "good-heart" towards you, you can ignore the odd ignorant annoying neighbour or distant relative. However at risk of upsetting some folk, your chance of being ripped off vary immensely on how you met your wife, and what her job was at the time you met. You wouldn't marry a hooker back home, and yes there are hookers with good heart, but perhaps fewer than if you mix with office workers & professionals etc. (Yes; and we all know that good girls are hard to meet if you are a tourist who went direct from Swampy to Pattaya.)

Hupaponics Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I'm a novice in English language, but from what I can understand from the headline is that he hang himself then put the house on fire and put a note (on a paper that doesn't burn obviously) and than what? He went back to the rope? Happy Easter folks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchooptip Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 4 hours ago, Kerryd said: So many stupid comments from so many clueless people. TV should really close commenting on stories like this and just post updates (if any). Seriously people, GET a clue. It is NOT hard at all to buy handcuffs in Thailand when they are on sale in every <deleted> market in the country. And it is NO problem AT ALL to handcuff yourself behind you back. <deleted>. Years ago I used to do it quite often and practise opening them with a paperclip while watching a movie. Not to mention it would probably take all of 2 minutes of searching on the internet to find a few dozen ways to do the deed. In fact in a lot of cases the police (in Western countries) will search a person's computer/phone and note how many sites were visited prior to the act. And THINK about it. The "family" wouldn't "suicide" him and then burn the house/car etc and leave a large message (in decent English) painted on the wall. I seriously can't believe some of the comments in this thread. Oh wait, I said "think". Perhaps I'm asking too much. Another "theory" would be the family discovered the burned house car and motorbike and out of rage decided to suicide him. In his message on the wall, he did not mention precisely a suicide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pik Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 RIP. Sad ending to a dream. I'm glad I got out of isan when I did. After finishing house, My ex and her family drove me crazy. I was never good enough. They only "loved me" when they needed something. When I said NO more. Oh, Bad Bad falang, and Every morning, noon and evening I heard "falang go home". My smiling reply was "I am at my home". So family changed the tune "falang go your country" They were always laughing at me. I always replied with a smile "We will see Who will laugh at the end" Karma is visiting all of them - - - one by one. They are as happy now as i was in isan I am laughing now and I have new stressless life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, no one who is posting knows the deceased yet we are being told how he suffered at the hands of a Thai woman, who again, no one knows. Meanwhile we also have a statement that he was a US national and at age 43 had already left a son and daughter behind in the USA. Gee, do you want to take a stab at where this is heading?

gk10002000 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 It all fits the scenario of similar stories, but the hand cuffs are a bit unusual. I have to raise the suspicion flag that if his money wasn't gone before it is gone now after they hanged him. The Thais know little to no investigation will ever be done. The Thai officials will not dig into his financial records, the house records, the alleged daughter wife relationships mentioned in the note. If they do establish the man's identity, it is unlikely anybody from his home country can or will mount any significant investigation or that the Thais will cooperate greatly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
