johnmcc6 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Did I miss something? Who stole his money and how did they do it? The mind boggles at the possibilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soistalker Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Years ago, there was an Englishman face down in his lunch and blind drunk at the airport. I pulled him up, and when he came to, he told me he had no money and was living at the airport. He didnt ask for money. I often wonder what happened to him.

dutchbull Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 1 hour ago, robblok said: He has a state person.. everyone has one in the Netherlands. around a 1000 eur per month. How can he be robbed of his ticket.. sounds fake to me. Not every Dutchmen get state pension (AOW) it depends how long you actually lived in Holland (working or not working) between 15 and 65 years you get for every year 2% so if you live in Holland these period you get 50 times 2% is 100% about 50000 baht a month for single unmarried person every year you not have lives in Holland they deduct with 2% for instants if this man lived abroad with Dutch passport for 40 years he only get 20% etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 1 hour ago, blackhorse said: Nothing worse than a farang begger in 3rd world. I bet if you offered him a non refundable ticket he would beg for the cash so he could buy it lol What's the old saying 'Fools and their money are soon parted'. I got posted to Thailand, first day another farang (a local employee) asked for money, other staff members advised me to never give the 'begger' one baht. He spent all of this salary on girls 'pay for fun' and expensive gifts all the time for girls he knew only from bars. He eventually got into serious trouble with finances and his family from home sent just enough money for a return ticket. The night before his flight home he went to cowboy for a final escapade. He spent every baht he had in the world. He walked back to his room, next day he begged around his apartment building for just enough taxi money to get to the old inter, airport. He arrived in Australia with not one baht or one cent to his name. He approached the police at the arrival airport, they drove him home. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to believe, how about booking a cheap room for 2x months and saving your income for an air ticket instead of making an idiot of yourself Why so hard to believe? I won't get a state pension of any kind. I won't get any pension of any kind for that matter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thaikahuna Posted October 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2018 This doesn't pass the smell test. If he is not here on retirement extension or other long term visa, he'd be required to have a return ticket or one for onward travel. If he is a pensioner he should have received funds on the first. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lived less longer there it's costs you 2% per year. I know dutch persons that came here when they were 25 and never left, then it's not so much you get. nz has a similar system--we have to have lived in nz 45yrs---pension is reduced proportionately if youve been away from nz...our pension is only about 36,000thb for 28days-non taxed-its not asset tested. i dont think anybody should cut all ties from their home country.. they should make sure that they have some sort of savings to cover illness etc..before moving to thailand... if not...they dont deserve any sympathy if they'run out of money' 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an extreme case but in it essentials maybe not so unusual, a naive young foreigner hypnotized by the gripping yet illusory charms of Bangkok nightlife and ending up in financial ruin. In fact doesn't something like that happen to the young hero of Jack Reynold's "Woman of Bangkok"? Somehow it's easier to forgive in a young man, plenty of time to get things right if he's a fundamentally decent sort.Less easy to forgive in the middle aged and old.
