No. It has a page in front to enter personal/contact information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fugitive Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 16 hours ago, scorecard said: Aware of an American who lived alone for years in Sth. Pattaya, found dead, (fell down the stairs, serious head and body damage at 82 yo) by an underage trio of Thai boys who regularly visited him for 'fun' and tips (but he was very stingy with the tips). The young boys alerted a neighbour then fled. Police came, they called the US consulate. Passport found but no money and no bank books, Neighbours revealed regular arguments with debt collectors because he was months behind in his rent payments. Had no farang friends, quite abrupt and rude and unfriendly man who had a long history of asking new acquaintances to restaurants then refusing to pay his share of the bill for food and drinks. A Thai neighbour knew he was receiving US Social Security payments. US embassy in BKK found a brother in the US, brother firmly indicated he did not want to get involved in any way and told the embassy staff to never call back. US embassy then told Thai police they would not do anything further. Police waited 1 year then conducted a simple quick pawpers Thai temple funeral (paid for out of a special police fund). Ashes taken to the end of a pier in pattaya and thrown onto the water. Even after death he managed to continue to cause others work, expense and inconvenience. Quality ex-pat.

Purdey Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) A friend's European mother died here a few years ago intestate. Her assets required a court to allow her son to inherit everything. Lots of documents needed to prove there was no other family that had a claim to the assets. Best bet is for a relative to hire a local lawyer to sort it out. Edited November 25, 2023 by Purdey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
