He also needed to stab an English teacher with a knife after he got beaten in a fight and the people in the photos in his room looked extremely young and petite , some were barely half his size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His community service organization did more for the Klong Toey slum community during Covid than any branch of the Thai government. They rebuilt homes, repaired schools and provided food to all the shut-ins, every day. Not just when the cameras were rolling. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dddave Posted November 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Back around the Millennium, before the internet was an every day thing, an enterprising young Dutch guy in Pattaya had the idea of getting reprint rights for all the major British and European newspapers. Every day, he would have printed that days front pages and copy pages and sell them all over Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok. He quickly made a fortune, wisely reinvesting in a number of other successful businesses. He had a Thai wife and they lived in the most lavish, expensive house in all of Pattaya and they drove matching Mercedes. He was without a doubt the most successful expat in the city and she certainly had hit the jackpot, the luckiest lady in Pattaya. Despite having everything, she wasn't satisfied. Naturally, she had a lowlife Thai boyfriend on the side. Then one day, the young Dutch man was found in a vacant lot, just a pile of ashes and bone. It took 10 years of pressure from his family in Holland and the Dutch government for the Thai and Pattaya police to finally make an arrest. The wife and her boyfriend as well as her uncle were finally arrested and convicted of his murder 12 years after the killing. Though they all got life sentences, I have no idea how long they actually served. She had EVERYTHING every girl who comes to Pattaya dreams of but it just wasn't enough. I remind myself of this all the time and have seen it so often: no matter how much they get, they still want more. Enough is never enough.

Lemsta69 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Are you thinking of starting a business in Pattaya when you retire? Maybe an Aussie style near pie and sausage roll shop. Or put on a sausage sizzle once a week, I'd come down from Bangkok for that. Might be a bit expensive but, cos you'd have to import the proper Aussie snags, Tip Top bread, Meadowlea margarine and Big Red tomato sauce. Or whatever brands you grew up with.

brewsterbudgen Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Define "successful"? In the bar world, Bryan from the Nightwish Group probably meets the category.

I saw him at the lift one morning. Scared the crap out of me. Was too scared to talk to him. I used to see him at the gym. Asked him to ‘spot’ me, but he declined as the weight was too much for him to handle. To be fair, it probably would have been safer to have one person on either side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administering medical treatment if necessary. I certainly respect him and his actions more than a sex tourist who thinks the locals should respect him because he spends some money. The locals agree with me. So ‘odd’ to you is something that is respected by the locals and the general community. Sex tourists are not respected by anyone.
