Just strange that he didn´t notice anything before billions have disappeared. 

His money didn't just disappear though did it, he gave it away.

“Freelance, prostitute, girlfriend”?  I have never heard those three words used at the same time to describe one person.

It actually describes hundreds of women here.

The Thai billionaire bought her a brand-new red BMW and gave her a monthly allowance of 50,000 to 100,000 baht. Throughout their relationship, they never visited her home, instead, they met at malls or hotels.

 

He also purchased an Audi PT Sport and a Mercedes-Benz for the woman and her father, respectively. Three months into their relationship, the woman claimed her father was sick and needed around 300,000 baht for surgery. The man provided the money for the operation and continued to buy her expensive goods and brand-name items.

I think you are right:  1) Free to come and come 2) Just need $$$ 3) When in public “yes, she is my girlfriend”.

I've not encountered many prostitutes that would go with anyone that had money. Most of them pick and choose their customers.

How many of the more than 200,000 prostitutes do you know enough to know what they do and who they do it with? Prostitutes, meaning the run of the mill garden variety which is most of them, work for money, which means anyone's money. Some of the "higher class" ones, which are escorts for a high dollar company, will get their customers picked for them. The freelance ones that work in bigger cities, meaning NYC and the like, not a lower class city like Bangkok, will work out of the higher dollar bars. They might be the ones who would pick their customers, although money talks, and I'm sure they would still sleep with anyone who has the green. This isn't a trade where class is involved, although some might think it's that way.

Many have boyfriends, who don't care if they sleep with hundreds, as long as they don't have to pay themselves.

Freelancing prostitutes describe tens of thousands of prostitutes? Maybe desperate men that need to buy women. I actually don't think the expats who live here are the buyers as much as the tourists. Most of the expats here I assume are married.

Depends the area, Hua Hin for example is very different to Pattaya.

Well, I guess that is a new slant on the old "My buffalo is sick", or "my house needs a new roof"......Small head ruling the big head.

The man, who first met the woman through a mutual friend, was aware of her work as a freelance prostitute. Initially impressed, he asked her to cease her profession and began to provide for her.

Sounds like she didn’t “cease her profession” - she merely received an increase in salary and bonuses. ????

“Hundreds” sounds like a very conservative estimate.

I know quite a few rich people get their money by illegal means, or by bending the rules , but if you have that much money, why would any sane person choose a freelance prostitute? There are plenty of greedy women out there would would do anything to be with a rich man. Beautiful women who will sleep with anyone if their wallets fat. But then again, sometimes karma does hit the right people.

There is more honesty in a relationship with a working girl?

One GF I had here (she just moved in with me one day) was all those + Alcoholic and Yabba user. But never stole one baht from me, or lied except one time she told me I lied to you about the Yabba. I learnt from her what 'Sometimes' means here, *often* she was stunningly beautiful.

Everyone has a code they live by. Some who murder would never touch or hurt a child. Some who kill have pets home they treat very well. Some who steal never do anything else wrong in their lives. The one's you worry about are the ones who lie with no conscience. Who break other's hearts with nary a worry. The ones who treat animals wrong and hurt them to feel something. They are the ones who will hurt humans and feel nothing also. A prostitute can be sleeping with many men because of past damage yet love their parents, even if they caused the damage, and any children they have with all their heart. Honesty is a virtue, and you never know who is honest unless you live with them a long time. It can come from a homeless person who has been hurt by life, and be lost in a rich man because they never worked for their money but hurt others or our planet.

Great commentary well written ????

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Where's there any scam or legal fraud in any of this?

 

AFAICT from the article, the stupid guy voluntarily did everything he did. No one forced him to spend millions/billions in cash, gifts, cars on the woman. And it's not like she stole the money from his house or forged his name on bank withdrawals.

 

She apparently may have misrepresented where she was living, and some other personal details... But hard to see how any of that equates to legal "fraud" or theft.

 

There's an old saying.... some people just have more money than sense.  But at least now he's seemingly managed to solve that particular problem in his case.

I'm sure you know more about American prostitutes than myself, but I'm not surprised that western hookers will do anything with anyone for money.

Me, i'm sticking with ASEAN women.

Over this 18 years 100000 a month +  some cars maybe come up to 35-40 million, so was he a billionaire or  a dement millionaire???

All I know is what I read, what others have told me, and what I've heard for over 60 years. A prostitute is the same worldwide. They all get into it for the same reasons, and they all charge money for sex. It's sad because they start out damaged, all usually from their parents or other family members in one way or another. I do agree on one thing. Thai women are the most beautiful in the world, and although I don't pay directly for women for sex, we all pay one way or another. I myself like a relationship where I can trust the other partner. Just hard to find that in a screwed up, damaged world. But I'm still hopeful. As long as a woman is faithful to you, and does what she can to be a partner, for a lifetime,  it doesn't matter where she comes from.

Not being judgmental, but isn't the term "fine Australian convict" an oxymoron?

The convicts were more honest than their keepers in red coats

You may lose it but you still were at a set time a Billionaire.
