waders123 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 When first visiting in this part of the world, "RENT IT! RENT IT! and RENT IT! regardless of what it is, don't throw your hard earn money out the door until you're up to speed how it all works. For some, that may take a wee bit longer time than it does for others. People need to slow their roll when they first come here as like many posters here have said, "Men are thirsty for love and confuse kindness and/or affection for love". If I was a betting man, I'd say the majority of thaivisa members on here have been taken one way or another, whether it be big or small, in the pursuit of a little piece of happiness; I know I have. Not complaining; just saying. Life's lessons! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus123 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) A friend of mine has a framed document artfully displayed on his wall for all to see.. A superb Thai court document that states that his brother-in-law had to pay back 250,000 Baht for fraud and theft of property which was settled by mediation. Needless to say he never saw one baht of the settlement. Edited June 28, 2020 by Odysseus123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlang Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 This court decision is definitely a shock to many who have been in same situation and walked away with nothing except his dirty clothes in a suitcase.

First check everyone should do when meet a partner in Thailand, where she is from, know her/his family and friends, and you will find out what kind of person you have met.

EVENKEEL Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 If you have no plans to have kids together them yeah crazy to put house in her name. Worse yet is when money to buy house was all they had, beside pension type money for living. Just because you can sell and split the money, first you have to find a buyer. What a mess, being financially able to walk away and forget about it is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieinThaiJim Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 An interesting outcome! A similar situation was in Phetchabun where they were married. She asked him to leave the house he had built and called the police! They arrived but he showed them the 30 year lease she had signed. She was asked to leave the house! At court he was awarded the house she kept the car in her name and got a cash settlement of around 1.5 million baht. Justice does prevail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did the guy continue living in the house with the <deleted> off ex around with 1.5 mil in her hands? That would be worrisome in my demented mind. Me personally I'd rather get on down the road far, far away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dependeds if your neighbours is her parents, brothers, sisters, uncles and anties with relatives, and continue living there would be interesting in a way. To make it even more interesting you could team up with one of the cousins just making new bounds. Could be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikimoto Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 This brings to mind a case where an American chap who had paid for his Thai Wife to purchase land and build a house in Thailand. He was still working in the States and would visit to check out progress of construction. He received a request for funds to complete landscaping and fences. This meant the house must be almost ready for move in, so he hopped on a plane to suprise his Wife and organise a housewarming and Monk blessing etc. He got there to find his Wife was already married to a Thai man and was preparing to move into the new house with their family. The American checked his rights as owner of the house but not the land. He had a local contractor bulldoze the house into a pile and flew back to the States. The woman couldn't afford to have the mess cleared and it sat like that for years. Lesson learned???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that hard. I got a motorbike in my name and a car too. But it would have meant an immigration / embassy trip.

Of course its a total good deal and guys should stop moaning. You meet a girl far younger.. she trades in her youth (best chances to get a guy) for stability and then when it does not work out she has already paid with her youth and guys want her to leave with nothing. Seems unfair to me. Then just rent a girl.. i mean having it for total free is just cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
