Dartagnan Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 From Dartagnan: So good for Ron to go back home. But the story that was told over the media and created by the good man called Decklan (Deckhan Jamrs Theodore) is somehow different from reality. In fact, Ron's girl friend managed all the issues and Ron was not captured or kidnapped as stated. The fund opened to (what ever purpose?) for him is a question when his family (and him) had enough money to get him back. Remember, he got his credit card and passport with him when supposed released from the bad people. Just to let you know that the good people who take him to the airport this morning are going to have a good time in BKK and there after going to Pattaya on private party (may be from the fund)!!! Fack stories, fack news are common every day and to become a very good man it takes a lot more than lying to people. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBattles Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It is not so difficult for a person this age to be taken advantage of. Especially when he can not speak Thai and lives up country. I pity him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anfh Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Two things, if he rescued him from Udon, why take him to Hua Hin rather than Bangkok to get a flight home .? and why does he need a Go Fund Me account “ with thousands “ to get him home ? Last time i checked, a direct flight back with Eva to Heathrow is around £700 right now . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuscious Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 "But I am not going to get involved with any Thai women again". He needed 86 years to learn that lesson? Good heaven. Lucky for him he didn't met a ladyboy. Wish him good luck back in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C HH Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Well said Hot and Sticky. The lack of human kindness on this forum never ceases to amaze me. I hope it’s only the vocal minority and not the silent majority that think this way, for their OWN sakes. As people age we inevitably loosen our grip on reality, while we are still working and in the Midst of life it’s easy to keep that grip, at seventy something, things change, we may lose our life partners, retire from our life careers and The result is our whole perception of things change. I can see how it would be very easy to think this exotic female in front of me wants to take care of me and be nice to me. But that may also be because I don’t immediately assume the whole world is out to screw me of my life savings, while by no means am I naive, I have some level of faith in human nature. I reckon maybe I should get some lessons from our TV cynics before I hit 86 then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykopite Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 There are some very Nast comments on this post I for one offer mu heart felt thanks to the guy who had the courage to rescue this poor fellow and I hope that he gets his flight today and gets back to the U.K. why is it that people judge an individual of Senior age who decides to come to Thailand as some dirty old man The fella according to his daughter had lost his long term partner and decided to come here seeking a better life what the hell is wrong with that I hope he now gets the help he needs and can get on his feet and maybe if there is enough left over in the go fun me it might be enough to get his beloved dog back to the UK and quarantined . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
