Lots of guys approach & perceive a relationship/marriage in Thailand in the same way as they do in their home countries, I think this is part of the problem.

 

I was talking to an old retired guy in a pub in Worcester where I now live, some months ago, he was moving out to live in Thailand the next day. He has/had the same girlfriend for 7 years in Thailand, she had convinced him that it's not possible for a farang to own any property in Thailand, condo included.

we all know that farang CAN own a condo in Thailand......so part of your comment is wrong........

They were together for seven years. He bought her a house, a car, a plot of land in Rayong. She even ran a laundry business that Tony, 56, financed.

 

Not to worry. Tony had brought a nest egg of 10 million baht to Thailand. It was bound to last.

So, if, after financing all of the above, he still had a 'nest egg of 10 million baht', what happened to that money? - Shoddy journalism?

Thai bar girls have been fleecing naive western retirees ever since they have started coming to Thailand.  There are so many sad stories like this.  To add insult to injury, the Thai government has gotten into the act by requiring western retirees to deposit their money into a Thai bank.  

 

It looks like many of the western retirees are staring to wake up on this one and leave Thailand.  At least the bar girls were doing something to make these retirees feel good.  The Thai government has instructed Thai Immigration not to make these people feel good, but just require them to deposit the money.

 

Any western retiree considering moving to Thailand for a happy retirement, should have their heads examined, lol.

And I would be very wary of a woman telling me otherwise.

But, on the bright side, he looks in much better shape now.

Interesting - my first thought was how effective meth is as a diarrhetic...

If I ever need a brain transplant I want his:  it's like brand new, never been used!

Now that my friend was seriously funny....I am still laughing. However I do feel sorry for Tony as naivity and an open heart is not a bad thing and we need more of it in this world but when arriving in Thailand for the first time one needs to tuck those qualities far far away and use your brain and not emotion in the LOS.
