It will cost more if you involve the police. Bit late mate, he got his <deleted> back. Apparently there is a point to actually standing up for yourself. Seems pretty common for folk on here to accept being a doormat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post metempsychotic Posted October 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2019 Reading over this thread, it really is a good indicator of how many "expats" in Thailand actually live in ignorance and fear. Even after the op updated the thread informing us that he did get the majority of his possessions back with the unpaid aid of the police (gasp), the advice to roll over, give up, walk away, be careful etc still flows in. No wonder there is so much bitterness on these forums, you have all given up. One crazy Thai woman does not have power over you, your visa, or your freedom. They do not have pull with the police or immigration. Be preemptive, file a report, document communications and grow a set. Why would you be willing to simply walk away from what is yours? The mind reels. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieBob18 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Get her to put it in writing (email/line) what she wants for your property. Get in writing exactly what she will return to you for what amount of money - get a list of every itewm. Agree to pay that amount of money and agree what day/time you will be there to pick it up. Then when you have it in writing get a Thai lawyer and both go to the Police and show them what she has written. This proves she is blackmailing you to return your own property that she has stated in writing is your property. You and your lawyer convince the police to attend with you on the agreed day/time and take back your property. Your lawyer (not you) negotiates what if any 'fee' is required to cover the police costs involved while you take back your property. That is a plan - maybe work - maybe not.

During my many years coming here and knowing many foreigners who have married I’ve yet to see a case first hand where this has occurred. Couples have split yes but not in this way. I agree.

There's probably a handful of foreigners that have lost the house, shop, apartments, farm or whatever 'shared' landholding they had through marriage to a local. When they come up empty handed, they tend to slink off back home rather than stick around and draw the criticism and ridicule of fellow, holier-than-thou farangs who have cleverly avoided such happenstance through proxy ownership and other legally questionable constructs... and keeping their cock in their pants.

If he's been to the police and they said they'd arrest him if he went back, there is nothing left, IMO, unless one wants to break in, get the gear and leave the country same day, OR pay the <deleted> to get it back. Too late now, but for others in that situation, don't alert the <deleted>, wait till she's out of the house, and take everything, move to another location in another part of LOS, change phone number etc and never communicate with her again. oh really? but what if you are wrong?

Exactly. Without someone sharing their story, like the OP did ... what's left on the forum? Only news from Prayut and how to move this country forward? But no, they get shot down as stupid, silly and a scam. Stupid & silly ok ... that's what can be discussed, for a heads up to others, maybe who are just about to get into the same situations. (being in 'love' here, in Thailand, can make you do pretty stupid things) And there are many who are doing it, guy after guy ... You just have follow the Thai forums for a few years ... and next week another one. It's a vicious, never ending circle of new guys getting on to that rollercoaster. ????

Try Amazon or some Western company that isn't going to source fakes from China. I got a 1TB 'WD' My passport, from Lazada 2 years ago. Has saved me a few times ... working ok. Definitely not a fake. But ok, backup to the cloud is better anyways, cost you only a few bucks per month, and you can access it from every where, all the time, without the need of any physical device, which you can also lose, or breaks, gets water over it or whatever.

Encryption is a bit too far over their heads, believe me. Better start the education about having a backup first ... baby steps ... ???? Look, the topic is still: 'My stuff is hold at randsom', computer included. Online, there is randsomeware, which holds your computer at randsome. Off-line, there are Thai girls doing it ;-)) ....

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app A lot, 100's and 1000's, including huge companies, IT Security was my profession for 25 years, before I became a lame Thailand expat. Stop talking and weasel around, start to accept the facts. And also, just start to accept simple things, like making a backup. Why is it a big talk? Most don't have one ... I see it all the time! Expats around me ask me a lot to fix their computer, they don't have a backup, never! You guys are unbelievable ... oh ... made in China ... oh ... how many do you know got hacked personally? What's all that bull, just be happy someone is posting about it, to remind you to protect your personal data. I'm not selling you something, just give simple advice. The worst thing which can happen to an expat living far away from home is that his laptop is gone, with all his internet banking, credit card info etc. stored on it. It's a horrible feeling to get it all back up and running. Edited October 1, 2019 by RedPill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
