Popular Post Skeptic7 Posted March 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2022 Another one! Difficult keeping up with them nowadays. A serious problem among the Thai man-child population.

IAMHERE Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) He's not going to do much time in prison. Even if he gets life (BMs seem in favor) he'll get half that time off because he confesses and is assisting the investigation. I'll bet he is out in under 3 years. Got to wonder if the wife inherits anything from the deceased lover. Edited March 11, 2022 by IAMHERE spelling 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having sex with another mans wife is considered a serious crime in Thailand. As it is in Muslim countries.

Robin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 He will become a monk for a few weeks, that will reduce his sentence to five years max. Even less if he pays the funeral expenses.. Typical Thai behaviour, and a good reason not to mess with married Thai ladies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It's just so sad for these kids. We have no idea how they were being raised, or how they will now be raised, but there's an argument for 'trying to normalise' the event.... which could cause it to happen again 20-30 years in the future. ????

OJAS Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) On 3/11/2022 at 4:31 PM, it is what it is said: this is not a 'thai' thing or male thing. males, and some females, in countries all over the world behave in such a way. if you look at the US there are far more such killings; road rage, domestic rage, rage against your employer or work colleagues. so is the american male ego fragile? Agree with you 100%. Just take a read of the following UK case dating back a couple of years for instance, which has hauntingly similar parallels to the case under discussion in this thread:- https://news.sky.com/story/ex-headteacher-rhys-hancock-jailed-for-bllodbath-killing-of-estranged-wife-and-lover-12087089 In answer to your question, American (and, for that matter British) male egos are no doubt considered by the Thai-bashing brigade on here to be rock-solid without question. Only Thai male egos alone are, in their eyes, deemed to be fragile. Edited March 17, 2022 by OJAS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that it wouldn't be a good idea to mess with any married ladies, regardless of their nationality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
