Popular Post webfact Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 Tale of woe! South Korean conned into marriage by tricky Thai woman Caption: The marriage con Sanook related a tale of woe that will be all too familiar to foreign men who have fallen for the charms of Thai women - only to be disappointed. In addition the South Korean man in the story was fleeced out of 350,000 baht in just a few short months. It looks like the Thai woman has a Thai man in the background. She is a Chiang Mai born woman "based" in Pattaya. Sanook were contacted by "Kim A" who had been moaning about his experience all over social media. The 40 year old had met his 30 year old Thai lover and got married in Chiang Mai and he paid a dowry. He sent her funds every month - she had enough to put a down payment on a car. All seemed rosy as they continued their relationship via text messages from afar. But when he came back in January the woman said her parents had objected to the relationship continuing. Then came the first of a series of whammies - he saw text messages to a Thai man on her phone. He confronted her and they argued. Each time she strung him along with sweet talk and promises of love - so long as he kept up the payments. She needed cash for the vehicle insurance...then new tires.....then her son. Yes, she had what many in Thailand refer to as "Instafam" - a child from a previous relationship with a Thai. Then her poor, ailing old father needed money. The requests kept coming and "Kim A" kept paying. Only the sick buffalo didn't need money. Finally it was decided they would meet again in April but two days before the scheduled reunion she made another excuse saying she had argued once again with her relatives about the relationship. Exasperated he decided to call her rather than text. If he expressed his love that should win her heart. A man answered the phone...... By now the penny - if not the millions of won - had dropped and he was 350,000 baht poorer if not wiser. He told Sanook that at least she should go to South Korea to annul the marriage and free him. More about this if Kim A ever surfaces again....

Popular Post kotsak Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 He should consider himself lucky if he's lost only 350,000 baht and figured it out early. Others are being left only with their shirt on their backs. 22 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's now in the same kind of predicament but he's learnt to be worth more to his missus in a relationship than out of one.

We live, we learn....hopefully. I cant say its money down the drain though. There should be a 2 hours school session for every foreigner landing at Suvarnabhumi about the honeytraps here in Thailand. 11 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramdas Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 How typical Thai just another way of ripping off foreigners ???? Sadly they haven’t got the same notion and knowledge of love as most of us do..Simply because they’ve been brought up that way as It’s all about money in Thailand how disgraceful.. Never fall for any of them even it seems legit, trust not ! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post epicstuff Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 A good rule of thumb is . If you not living with her, why get married in the first place? The other rule of thumb is, why would anyone get married in the fisrt place? If you love each other you will stay together........ why does anyone need a legal document for that? It doesnt offer any inssurance or other benifit as far as I'm aware... This stupid antiquated social concept of marriage for romantically dumb people has a lot to answer for.... 8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yokat Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 1 hour ago, epicstuff said: why would anyone get married in the fisrt place? 1 - It's convenient when moving out of Thailand since the thai passport is not really a masterkey to immigration. Girlfriend is not a status when applying for a visa. 2 - After a few years of being married it may grant citizenship (true for my country, not the other way around) and all the privileges that come with it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
