Riches to Rags: Swiss man lost everything except his smile after meeting Thai woman

[Isaanbiker]

I don't see the guy smiling at all.  A better story for him, I hope he reads it:

 

There he met Noi, Lek, Porn, Nit, Pam, Kitty, Lin and Whaan, all of them the love of his life on his first night and he loved them too much. 

 

He gave them everything with pharmaceutical help. 

 

Now they have nothing and live off handouts of food and money from foreigners who come to a bar beer in Thailand to look for a wife.

I hope he is not really broke. As the 10 million I would guess was he pension money which he could take out as he left the European area. And because he had his own company maybe he not even paid the social security so when he reach 65 he not will become money from swiss too (worst case).

 

I hear many stories from swiss guys which leave Switzerland and take out their secure pension when left European area (If stay in European area you are not allowed to take this money out).

And yes the salary of about 300'000 baht is not bad but in no way that special as well. Is an upper salary but far away from a wealthy swiss. And the 10 Million nest egg is a very small amount if you want to early retire. But yes if live in Thailand this could give you a few nice years if you would take care your money correctly.

 

Sad for this guy, but I guess stories like this happen more often. Only that most guys not want that someone write about them, because they know what the majority of people would think about them!

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.

No but you don't buy the house ,you lone her the money to buy it.

I'm not sure he got what he deserved.

None of us had much experience with women in the west (apart from our moms), and when you did find one the sex was always strictly rationed. Out here the sex is unlimited, and it is a bit of a surprise, well I was surprised when I rocked up age 52, and found there were hundreds of young women available to me.

 

Do any of us really deserve to be cheated and scammed by the women we love?

Sadly this now seems to be the worldwide female standard of behaviour.

[bbbbooboo]

Hmmm.... stupid is what stupid does?

[NoComment]

Overstay on his visa next!

Funding charity of some sort?

He will probably be caught soon anyways and hello I.D.C.

He isn't the first and won't be the last!

Good luck in the future Tony, wipe your mouth and keep smiling.

[Pique Dard]

i find this kind of story difficult to believe! am i being cynical? how in god's name can you trust a woman you met in a "notorius" city so much you give her everything? moreover you don't even speak her language!

she has just scammed you yet you keep on calling her "your love". how naive can one be? i'm sorry but i can't feel pity for the dude!

Well thats the 4th i have seen this week, that the men have lost everything. What a man will do to fall in love

 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.

 

Hardly the same thing but it does deserve crowbar of the day for getting immigration issues into a story about another naive farang.

 

It's not like he can rock up in Isaan and shove a card in his missus and get his 10m back is it, which he could do any time at the bank with his extension deposit?

The girl fell in love too, when she heard about his money...

On my last trip I came across an iceland bar in Pattaya, met with a guy who clearly came there for the first time. He had met a girl
in one of the bars in Soi Made in, he had bought her out of that bar and was spending about 10k a day. He will end up the same way as
this man.

The problem is not owning a house/condo, the problem is that a farang can not own the land it is built on.

I'm an American married to a Thai, yes she wants a house  I know I can make no claim to it if our marriage goes south as we say in America meaning if relationship goes bad.  It's my third marriage so 3rd time might not be a charm. Beware!

Actually these two issues are very similar in that the western retiree is being taken advantage of.  The Thai bar girls have viewed western retirees as ATM machines ever since they have been coming to Thailand, and now the Thai government has tapped into this source of income as well.

 

You are not alone as to believing depositing 800,000 baht into a Thai bank is just as good as investing it in a western bank or better yet western brokerage bank.  When the Thai health insurance kicks in, everything will be much clearer to you.

 

The Thai bar girls have fleeced so many westerns as this guy from Switzerland was fleeced, I'm surprised the Thai government hasn't erected a statute of a Thai bar girl in the middle of Bangkok.  These girls have generated an incredible stream of income to Thailand over the years.

 

I feel sorry for this guy as it will be difficult for him to recover from this incident.  I doubt if the Thai police or Thailands legal system will be any help to him either.  I suspect immigration will force him to leave soon. ????

Luckily for him, "sporting hideous tattoos on ageing skin" isn't a crime. Yet.

You European guys should learn to respect the people in Thailand but also realise that you go to the worst part of Thailand

He's lucky he actually found a Thai woman down there most are Lady Boys who will take everything you have like any poofter in any Country

At least she gave him 7 years before she left taking everything even in his own country he could have lost everything as soon or sooner to a woman of his own kind 

The people that go to Pattaya deserve what they get 

Most of the people that go to Pattaya are only interested in a so called good time and using everyone else to get it 

So he was very lucky she didn't take everything in the first few months

 

I was lucky but I didn't go to all the tourist scumbag areas and my wife was a farm girl from the Country not any big city

So I got a very good wife but I had to teach her something that was the hardest thing got me to do

I had to get her to except that she wasn't there to be my slave like most guys want 

I wanted her as my equal and that we would both do things together so she didn't have to work so hard like the girls are thought to do from very early ages

I never want my wife to do everything for me like so many European guys expect because the Thai and Asian women work so hard but they shouldn't have to and European women would tell their husbands to get <deleted> if they had to do everything for a lazy husband

The Thai women aren't there to be used and abused by any of you European guys

[ZAKY]

Not laughable! There are so many in the same situation in Thailand except those who have already commit suicide.

But it's not a source of income is it? It's a recoverable deposit. No-one can access it except the account holder, at least while he's still alive. The money doesn't change hands. I wasn't talking about investments at all. I was pointing out that Tony's money is gone and an extension deposit isn't, therefore they aren't comparable.
