Well done sleuth, you have cracked it.

 

 

You have missed your vocation - you should be in criminal intelligence rather than jerking off on an internet forum.

Slow down Watson . The way it came on the News earlier in the week it looked pretty Unbelievable.

now still Unbelievable.

nice to know there are people like this willing to actually stand up and help.  

True but to help yourself is the better way.

Come on Eva Air, make the dog transportation happen...

 

figure out the logistics and make it happen...

[Jonnapat]

Not the first and surely not the last.

Be very careful with your relationships.

Steady on ol' chap, what I do in my now old age is up to me, don't you think, plus you are making assumptions about my daily routine and what I get up to....????......????

"I still love Thailand and I want to come back - I have a dog here that I love very much.

 

"But I am not going to get involved with any Thai women again".

 

He doesn't seem to be the only one here. I wish him well.

Even when you write 102 posts, it doesn't harm anybody. Innit?

Always a pleasure to read your words.

Obviously he loves the lifestyle, the slow pace, the weather, his dog, what else is there to know. Don't judge someone unless you walk a mile in their shoes first.  Everyone is different and has a belief system as well as there own values.  Do not paint everyone with the same brush you paint yourself with.  Rushing to judgment is easy to do, but it is a fools errand.....enjoy your life wherever you may be, but never try to put your values onto someone else...There's your break

I very much like to walk a mile in another’s shoes. Then they are a mile away and I have their shoes...

UK rightly has very strict animal quarantine laws to prevent rabies.

The state of his intelligence is indeed ‘criminal'!

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.

Don't tell the Brits they've been had by one of their own.

This tells it all. At 79, he cmes to Thailand to find a bride with his meagre pension. Who on earth does that? And I still dont not understand why he loves Thailand. Temples and beaches? Give me a break!

The warm weather?

You are 1 sad individual, hope you never need help from others.

Before you come out with a smart, wont happen to me, stop and think it could happen to anybody.

Very true. Usually are attacking other posters. Do they watch Thai shows or news? Most likely only Sky News or something like that. However, they know everything 555.

Sorry many friends but mostly Thai and very smart. They constantly offer to help. No problem for me here, ever.

The guy hardly looks starved. And why the caring British family with all the loving words did not know about this or help him if he needed help in all those years? And the lot of them can't come up with the money for a plane ticket between them? 

 

 

Assuming he was on a retirement visa, did he not have 800k in the bank to get home with? Instead of a Crowdfund? 

[Enoon]

Is "Declan James Theodore" the "Declan Theodore" with three pages of property to sell/rent on "buyrentpropertythailand.com"?

 

Anyway, what a shame that in this video the Declan in question touches his nose at exactly the wrong moment. That, after a generally shifty, sideways glancing presentation, spent hiding behind dark glasses, "did it" for me:

"War veteran"? Which war? If they are referring to WW2 he would've been around 10 years old when it was over ???? Still the story just show's that wisdom isn't aquired with age.

Perhaps Vietnam, Falklands, etc..?

You are 86 years old, you fool. 

 

Why on earth would you try to have a relationship at this age in a foreign culture? 

 

Ever consider that they might just be after your money? 

after being raised in a 1st world nation with its supposedly superior educational system you would have thought his critical thinking skills were better honed than this, perhaps he was booze addled...

[Ventenio]

I still don't understand how his family CANNOT get 2000 pounds immediately.  Maybe they did, and the fund was for his recovery.  who knows.......maybe it was answered already.  why wasn't his family keeping track of him?

 

Oh, don't worry, he's 86 and we don't need to check up on him...... OMG.  anyhow. 

 

Yea, we aren't allowed to talk about these stories in public; HOWEVER, if a Thai was mistreated in the UK in this way..... OMG, can you imagine?

 

This story is actually 10-years old.  When he turned 92, he dated a Thai again.  lol

Because someone coming from a country where love exists, compassion exist, caring exists, responsibility exists, honesty exists, dreams exist, might very well think that this country here, with all the Buddhist love, respect and eventual nirvana, this place has to be better.... No doubt about it....

He just had a dream that this place would be better, give him a break....

Temples and beaches... streets you can almost eat off... beautiful architecture... a welcoming Immigration vibe... and very little presence of a uniformed police state... not forgetting the cuddly ageing population.

Thailand land of smiles and money grabbers. If you dont keep your wits about you they got you . But I dam sure i would not migrate to Trhailand at 79

[fraggleRock]

Land of Smiles (especially if they have your pension money or ATM card)!
