A Thai woman exposed her soldier ex-husband to the public, accusing him of cheating on her and leaving her burdened with his substantial debts to pay off.

 

The woman named Pu revealed her family’s ordeal with Channel 3 on November 2, where she detailed their history. She revealed that they wed in 2007 while he was serving as a conscripted soldier, and they subsequently had a child.

 

Following his conscription period, he received a military job offer, contingent on a 300,000 baht payment to secure the position.”

 

Pu said she supported him by pawning their car for 200,000 baht and borrowing another 100,000 baht from a credit card. He became a soldier and moved into a welfare accommodation within the premises. She wanted to move in with him but he refused, saying the place was not ready.

Shortly thereafter, Pu received a disconcerting phone call from a woman who claimed to be her husband’s spouse. She was taken aback and unsure of her next steps. Her husband had grown distant and ceased providing her with the usual monthly financial support.

No, not at all. It´s the essence of a Thai man. However, it is very good they bring paying for positions out in the light.

Not news. Pitiful. This happens everyday in Thailand.

Any position in goverment will cost you.

 

Having a good education or qualifications has nothing to do with hiring, unfortunately. 

Wow…. Nothing new here

Probably more common in Thai women.

It is the standard Thai program. 90% of Thais get into a lot of debt with their partner and then break up. It's not a story for Thailand, it's normal everyday life here

You got a love it, the cops pay to get promoted and I guess sodas the military, TIT

They also pay to get into government positions even at local government levels in the towns, government run hospitals, teaching positions, etc

He has the two badges. That puts him in the top echelon.

That's it. That's why everyone here is so qualified for the position

Never trust a man in uniform.

At least, most Thai women will have the heart to support their children, even if sometimes with the help of their own mother...

So, I had no idea you had to pay that much for a Military position....this country amazes me.

Move along folks, nothing to see here. Parents of a girl in our village paid 200K to get her an administrative job. Thick as a brick but now has paid public holidays and will qualify for a pension in later life. Likely she is re-inking the stamp pads. Another 200K and she gets to stamp copies of needless documents. Money always wins out.🙃🙃

Typical Irresponsible Thai male…She helped her get his job so at least pay off the debt he owes her…

Not at all, he is a Thai male, and he is in the illustrious Thai military.

Yeah, is this just another man commenting that needs to put the blame on the female sex just to feel like a man?

Doesn’t she understand how expensive a Mia noi can be?

It can be very difficult to find sincerity in a country that relies on corruption, lies and cheating to achieve anything.
