Friday night (Pub) Maths... at 30 years service assuming a UK FInal Salary scheme basis, he would get 1/2 of his final salary... 150k pm.. still no problem meeting Immigration requirements or spending 3k pn in a bar. @tomahawk reacted SAD to this & my previous post. Please expand, is it because of what I posted or the fact that it doesn't fit your narrative? YES.. There are people who work hard all of their lives & can expect (deserve) a decent pension when they retire... or is that SAD as well? <deleted>...

Seriously, there is no way I'd try to interfere in any of my mates "relationships" (makes things worse), just have to be there if (When) things go tits up. My best mate ended up marrying a girl that I grew up with & knew wasn't right for him (She had zero ambition & he wanted to go places) I spoke to him about it but he was adamant he was happy, I was even best man at their wedding... 10 years later he's getting divorced & a flight to Singapore to stay with me for a few weeks... 3 weeks in Singapore (broke up with trips to Angeles City & Bangkok) he now works/lives in Bangkok and is happier than a pig in mud ????

jerojero Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Likely true, but 7 years is a long time to carry the charade. My guess is she already had a thai husband & family. She continued the charade until he proposed, at that time she cut & run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in BKK for some time. I got to meet him at the old days Thermae. Bought a bungalow in Pattaya on "company" loophole. Eventually married his younger companion girl who was caring for him well. Put the bungalow in her name. Recognition for her service and also to make the ownership finally legal. The girl died unexpectedly from cancer at 54 a few years ago. Her family inherited the bungalow. He was allowed to stay in a few months, time for him to find other accommodation then they told him to go his own way. At 86 he now lives in an expensive (for him at 20k/m) rental small bungalow nearby his former one. This happened because him not take a good lawyer before buy and put the house in her name. This mistake is only him fault, but on this situation the final solution is also the bulldozer work for pace on the families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenon Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Uh, 10 million baht is how much? Not that much. Sorry he lost it. Apparently he never had any relationships before.

Could you live the rest of your life on it? Have a wife, buy a house, land, car and buy insurance. I would expect a successful businessman with a large business in Switzerland to have more. Surely his business, as described, was worth more. It was a combination of expecting a successful Swiss businessman to have more and it not being enough money to live large for the remainder of his life. Your point is well taken that relatively few would have that cash but I was viewing the entire situation. I had a friend living in Pattaya who lost $300,000 in the stock market and had to go home to work construction at 50 years old. Since he had no money the gov't wouldn't let him take his wife.

Dogmatix Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 He looks like a Thai motor cycle taxi driver with the tattoos. The reports don’t mention his visa status. If the local Immigration plods are watching, they can easily recognize the temple and go and pick some low hanging fruit. That would be a great photo op for a bunch of colonels and majors in SWAT gear dragging off another dangerous foreign criminal hands cuffed behind his back. That might be the best thing for him, as long as he still has relatives in Switzerland willing to wire him the fare home. Then he could go on a shoplifting spree or something and be guaranteed comfortable free board and lodging in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 60+, I doubt I have another 15 years in me, no need to invest (none of my pals lasted past 70). Also, most of us get a state pension around age 65. I understand, but he was apparently spending a lot of money on his Thai lady, and since he is now broke as the article says, he either doesn't get a Swiss pension or social security, at least not yet anyway.

wisperone Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 He probably got caught up in the "Live in thailand for $500 a month" youtube videos and figured he was good for the next 50 years.

mike787 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 This proves a sucker is born every minute. This kind of story will be posted again soon as another farang arrives to Elysium (Thailand) all thunderstruck by love as he is fleeced to his basic organic elements: Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
