I've Blown 7 Million Baht

[saraburioz]

I have just spent some time in Cambodia doing some business for my Thai wife's uncles. They are both very wealthy Thai billionaires. I got the money transferred to my account so I could get the full amount in cash and unfortunately got drunk and visited the casinos. I fancy myself as a good gambler but now know otherwise. The bottom line is that I blew 7 million baht. I haven't a clue as what to do. I have two options - tell the truth and face death, losing my family, or forgiveness. Due to the nature of the business, I needed cash, so one alternative is to fake a robbery.

Can any of you blokes come up with any other ways out? 7 million is a lot of money for me but not that much for them.

You should have some cash, you were looking at getting a lexus recently or you could sell the 5000 rai of land that you claim to own...

yeah, best thing to do would be go and buy the cheapest shotgun you can find, drink a bottle of fire water and then blow your stupid brains out... cos you can bet your bottom dollar, that's what your former families' paid assasin will be doing quite shortly.

bottoms up...

Fess up, only recourse you did wrong.

Many of your posts have blasted those farangs who have married into the rural classes. Many of your posts lambast those farangs who do not understand Thai culture. Many of your posts advise us how to succeed as farangs in Thailand as you have done.

Now you post claiming to have got drunk and lost a fortune (2000 months' salary - by your own words). If this is not precisely the behaviour of a brainless peasant, I don't know what is. If your wife were an Isaan hooker, I think your chances of forgiveness would be far higher than from a well-armed, well-connected Bangkok business dynasty.

Good luck or good trolling, whatever your game is.

I've taken so much salt with this post I'm beginning to feel ill.

How big is 7 million in cash? I guess it doesn't fit in your pocket so how big a bag do you need to carry this?

[The Dan Sai Kid]

You could easily manage it in a Lotus carrier bag. - you could write swag on it with a black marker...

[alexth]

Oh boy, you are soooooo screwed

I never gamble, seen too many suicides, broken families and wasted lifes...

[DFCarlson]

Better hope the uncles don't read the ThaiVisa Forum...

They are both very wealthy Thai billionaires.

That's bad luck for you as they'll be able to afford a good quality hitman, not like the poorer Thai billionaires.

Your not looking for sympathy on here are you

Like, the old Bay City Rollers song said - "Bye, Bye Baby, Bye, Bye".

Hope you kept enough of the 7 mill for a ticket out and the 700 hundred at the airport.

Divi.

700 now? Is nothing sacred?

[pumpuiman]

You claim to be wealthy. What's the big deal.

Are you afraid of your hi/so wife? Does she consider you a useless vermin?

Bet you wish you had married a farm girl now, huh?

You'll get what's coming to you.

[PaulUSA302]

Tell your wife that you gambled the money away. She may want to save face by finding a way replace the money you lost.

I seen a old Kung-<deleted> movie where something like this happened and the guy who lost the money went to his uncle and offered himself as a personal servant to pay off the debt. Maybe you could consider throwing yourself at their feet and begging for mercy.

Another option is to have them send you 10 million more Baht, go back to that Casino and win back the 7 million and then some!

If you are looking for sympathy, you will find it in a dictionary - midway between sex and syphilis.

You can start to recover the money with a McDonalds drink cup, some old clothes, a mutilated leg and a busy street corner.
