Not all Thai wives are the same, despite barstool talk by losers.

Bluetooth speakers aren't exactly loud <deleted> 

 

Thai seem to be much more angry and violent in recent years. Tread softly around these nut jobs.

Had a Canadian here that did played loud American rock music at his house because he was fed up with the neighbours constant loud music. He bought big speakers to do it. They complained to the Police who promptly came round to his house to tell him to turn it off. When he pointed out about his neighbour he got told Thai music is OK. Go figure 

A key reason I'd never buy a property in Thailand and just rent, aside from the fact rentals are very reasonable/plentiful and the lack of legal land ownership for foreigners.

 

Not worth the risk of being trapped by neighbours from hell with no recourse!

I don't think he was stabbed.  Sickles hack, so it would have been lacerations.

Yes.....they jack up the bass to ridiculous levels.

 

We went to a temple market one night and they started up.......I just stood and looked at everyone thinking....for f s.......what are you thinking...that this is normal...that this is okay....that this is entertaining......the Emperor's new clothes....

5555....yep. After 30+ years here my reaction at those times is still exactly the same as your own!! 

[thailand49]

After a year they are now having a hearing. 

Meantime the attacker is what and where?

Did he entered a temple?

I am struggling..........the worst of it is that the wife has been an absolute diamond......leaving her would be an act of staggering selfishness.

You say that but she bought the land and built the house without telling you, according to the earlier post. Pretty selfish from her side imo and not what I'd expect from a relationship. 

 

Perhaps you can suggest an arrangement where you split time between Bangkok and the village. Otherwise you will flip at some point.

Oh dear, it looks like you may have been unlucky in love, and probably not only in Thailand. 

I'm genuinely  curious as to how you have established  that    "No Thai woman has ever really wanted to be with a farang." could  you provide a link to back this up?

  I have also  heard this from several other  jaded / jilted  foreigners who I knew personally,  interestingly I noticed that all of them  shared some common traits    

 

   I am more inclined to think that no Thai woman could really enjoy life with any  foreigner who exhibits more than say 2 of the following common traits.  

 

1) They spoke no Thai whatsoever

2) They had no Thai friends at all

3) They regularly drank to excess

4)  The only Thai food they could eat was fried rice

5)  They treated their poor wives worse than dogs

 

How  many of the above traits apply to you?   I'm guessing just  4  as you would need to have  found one willing to marry you before the 5th one could apply

Done for 10 years about 1000 baht fine, halved because he pleaded guilty.

Toby just seems a dash bitter….   Guess he made poor choices & blames everyone else… plenty of those on this forum….   Plenty of normal decent folk too….  Fortunately…

I agree with the first part, but if you were to buy a house in a nice village, most of the Thai's will be middle class, so very unlikely to have such issues with loud music.

Don't understand how they got into a situation that ended in his death.

If you have seen "Jai Ron" in action - and both Thais & foreigners can possess it - it's sadly not hard. Hate & anger are extremely destructive and should be avoided as much as possible.

 

The lesson here is not to enrage others on purpose. For those saying "it's usually the Thais", well, it's a numbers game and they win it every time, don't they? Stop asking for a level playing field when that'll never happen. Yours is in your own country.

 

Journey in Peace to the deceased and a quick recovery to the injured.

Its a common occurrence by some people, one does not need to be "a family therapist" (whatever one of those is), to know such things. Its general knowledge

I am telling it like it is.

 

My wife had the house in 2004 and I still live in it.

 

She also has the truck that we used to share because I don't drive any more.

 

She does care and looks after me through my illness.

 

She spends OUR money as I don't go out much anymore.

 

But of course that doesn't matter or make sense to you anyway.

[2009]

Should have just dealt with it like my friend did: go there with a pair of snips and cut the cable.

 

Although, he did that to a massive boombox stage setup that had been blasting for several days to be heard from a kilometer away.
