I just told you earlier in the thread that it is based on real places, people and events.

 

I know several people mentioned in the book, as well as the author himself.

And what does that prove? It only proves your experiences, based on your social background. 
 

It is still a fictional story mixed together from many more or true stories. 
 

By now I only remember I felt sorry for her, when she was exploited by the german, rest of the book, I do not remember much of except the standard mony scams he was put through, and his feeling of shame and guilt.

It appears to be a cultural phenomenon. When in Rome etc.

 

Perfectly normal for local men to have minor wives, giks etc. It's expected.

Again it depends on who you frequently socialize with, but Thailand is proved by Durex statistics to be one of the countries top of the list for adultery. If Im not mistaken Thai woman 58% is unfaithful, topped by Nigeria 63% or so. For Thai men 53 or 54 %

I've solved all these concerns by being worthless......... 

 

My wife agrees. Vocally and regularly. 

 

????????????

 

Meanwhile, I've got a nice cushy easy chair, a 55" TV, and all the English language Netflix a person could want! 

 

So far, it appears the only thing that would be worth less than having little ol' worthless me around....... 

 

........... would be NOT having worthless me around! 

 

????????????

 

I'll have my ghost notify you if that changes!............. 

 

*wink*

 

Cheers!

I socialise in many different circles, from my lowest paid workers that earn 12,000thb a month to govt. officials and even a couple of Thai billionaires on occasion. Seems to be common among all social strata.

Loads of that goes on here. Thai men target women who are funded by farang, it wouldn't suprise me if half the guys who post on here have a relationship with a Thai women who has a younger Thai dude in the background

In the days i used to frequent Go Go bars, around closing time

i can remember all the Thai boyfriends of the girls sitting on their motorbikes outside waiting for their cashed up girls to finish work.

They would also drop them off and wait at any pre-arranged overtime activity

Why reopen it?

Resolved with a not guilty finding, unless they new evidence, it could be seen as an abuse of process.

 

They should follow the brown envelopes perhaps? Remind me of a case in Hua In where the victim was even terminally ill but the wife and her lover could not wait that long. The police was promised a peace of the cake to influence the investigation.

The only reason I read this story (and the 1st and last pages of comments) is that I am involved with a lovely Thai woman who has 3 sisters who have married Danish blokes.   

 

All 3 sisters have had successful marriages with these Danes, and have spent time living in Denmark and Thailand, and have raised children together.

 

The people on the Forum who like to generalize (quoting Durex statistics?) about relationships in Thailand really have no clue. 

 

Those posters are the punters who never learned Thai and only have "friends" and relationships that are bought.

 

If you only live or socialize in the expat bar scene and towns, of course you will view Thailand as full of mercenaries.  

 

Yet, if you are able to get outside that sick bubble, then you will see the wonderful side of the country.

As a fat, bald, dull 66 year old drunk Brit pensioner ..... what do you think my chances are of scoring a early 30s hot Thai girl (8-10) outside that 'sick bubble'?

 

If you put life insurance in her name don't forget to put a target on your forehead so she doesn't just wound you.

Having read this, I can assure you all that nothing should surprise you in LOS, especially if you are a fluent Thai speaker. In 1994, I met a nice 26 y.o. lady from Chiang Rai. I was 41. After speaking northern Thai with her, she agreed to go home with me.  It went well - she lived with me full-time,  but kept her rented room. I bonked her for six months - it was awesome ! No fights, no buffalo stories, nothing. We got "engaged" & my father came to visit us. I bought her a 1200 baht gold ring (neung salung) and a watch. Nothing else. Not a cent, however I paid all our living expenses. She told me she once had a German boyfriend younger than me, but "it was over". So what ? She agreed that what we had was great, or so I thought. One day, she suddenly asked me for 1200 baht for "the electricity at her room". I was suspicious - the bill for my rented house was never over 500 baht. She huffed & I told her all I had was 700 baht. She took it, left to go pay her bill and I never saw her again. I went to her room next day - cleaned out. So, if you are reading this on here and you are German & your name is Robert and you married a then 26 y.o. Miss "Oi" (sugarcane) from Chiang Rai in 1994 (I know her real Thai name) - be aware that I was sleeping with her too, right up till the day before she met you at Don Muang Airport ! By the way, I hope you aren't insured, in Thailand anyway. .....

Seems you are the kind of type who likes a lynch party without hearing the background of this case. Fortunately you are not the judge. And dont start to learn for it, because you lack the capability to balance the facts and circumstances. From what I know, this  Danish guy was not a fresh type, using and cheating his wife for several years with severe consequences. I know the ladies and the story. Hopefully they now will get a judge, who is really willing to hear the full story and make a balanced and honest decision.

Have a listen to yourself!!! What ever grievance she/they had,you are siding with a woman who conspired to commit a murder..have a look in a mirror!! Sounds more like she was using him!

Ekkasit was promised a new car for killing Mr Larsen but after he failed he was given just 10,000 baht for his trouble.

Car virtually wrote off and given 10,000 for his trouble.

No-wonder he squealed.

I bet half of the posters here are unfaithful to their gf’s and their wifes when they have the chance. 

What is amazing is that married Farangs who go to bars to play with bargirls have no clue why their Thai wives let them out of the house. 
 

Or guys from Isaan who come to Pattaya for a few days don’t know what the wifey is doing back in the village.

Her 'Brother' no doubt. 

I was in a taxi with a Thai lady yesterday. The lady is trying to start a relationship, wants to go to Chiang Mai with me.

 

Anyway, the phone rang, and a Thai man asked her where she was. 
 

I asked if it was her husband, and she said it was her brother.

 

Really.

I wonder if they’ll prosecute her

In my 32 years of experience, it's the 'normal' ones you have to watch more carefully. 

 

Can be far more dangerous than even the most seasoned of bargirls. 

 

At least with bargirls you know where you stand. 

 

Had a good mate that was murdered by his 'normal' Thai gf and her brother/boyfriend/hired hitman about 10 years ago. There's a thread about him somewhere on here. They found his body in the jungle just in his underwear. 

 

Not my only friend that was murdered by Thai gf either, there have been a couple more in my time here.

Don't ask me ever again to be your friend.

You got that right, sir.  ‘Cause the girls in Pattaya all have connections to Isaan.  Word travels at lightening speed here.

The g/f or wife probably glad for the peace from their older men, and chance to play with a younger virile male, without having to wake up beside the morning breath.

In case I will get serious with a thai.

Copy of life insurance will be put on each wall in the house.
In English and Thai.

Insurance policy of XXX only to be paid if all requirements are met:

1. He lives until at least 85

2. She will honour him everyday.

3. He will update insurance company on a 6 monthly basis if she is still worth to be the beneficiary.

4. In case of something suspicious happening or a sudden dad which is not 100% for medical reasons, she doesn't get anything.

5. will be updated and adjusted 6 monthly.

Anything can pass for art/decor nowadays.   

What is a fact is that on more than one occasion i have walked past a farang who is arm in arm and loved up with somebody i know intimately well.

It is a known truth, that Thai ladies almost do not have sex anymore after they are 40 years old, and when 50, they stop.
