Have we lost Dad to Thailand ?

[The Cobra]

Came across this on a different platform and wondered what you guys make of this ? I told the guy I would repost it here to get some insight from others for him.

 

I'm reaching out because I'm really worried about my dad. He's been travelling to Thailand for a while now, and lately, his behavior has been really strange.

First off, he's been making frequent trips to Thailand without telling us much about why he's going or what he's doing there. It's not like him at all. And on top of that, he's been sending a lot of money there every month, but whenever my mom asks him about it, he just brushes it off like it's no big deal.

My mom is understandably upset and confused, and so am I. Dad used to be such a reliable and involved guy, but now it feels like he's keeping secrets from us.

Even our neighbours have noticed a change in him. He used to be so active in our community back home, but now he's keeping to himself alot.

I just want to make sure my dad is okay and that there's nothing seriously wrong. Has anyone else experienced something similar with a family member going abroad?

Any advice on how to approach this situation would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sadly, it's quite common.

I'm guessing mummy stopped having sex with daddy, so he's going elsewhere.

[JimTripper]

He could be hiring the services of prostitutes. Thus the need for a lot of money and keeping quiet about his travels.

It seems to me that your father doesn't need help.

He's okay and enjoying himself. 

 

Bangkok has him now.

Yes,let him go.

Why post a strangers story on a forum as you can't answer any questions about him or add any insight into what he's doing? I find it bizarre... (it's also pretty obvious what the Dad is doing, almost sounds like a made up stereotype situation)

[HappyExpat57]

Anyone remember "Penthouse Forum?" Starting to wonder if we're headed in that direction.

Not experienced the same with a family member but would say it’s highly likely he has another woman/women a ladyboy or loves the freedom he has here. The fact he has been sending money here suggests he’s either banking it to fund his travels whilst he’s here or he is “sponsoring” someone. Whether you have lost him is not something any of us can answer.

Dead

Amassing 800K baht, a few GBP at a time.

 

Then, it's GO TIME.

If the OP's Mom and Dad are similar ages, IMO it is highly likely he has found someone in Thailand who is 20, 30 or even 40 years younger, and is enjoying sex with an attractive woman all over again.

His lack of interest in the community back home is another pointer, he has a new interest.

Not much the OP can do in that kind of situation.

Not sure it's about younger, generally women 40+ in the UK start refusing sex to their husbands.

Why would they start refusing sex in the Uk?

Because his wife did & he projects that everyone else has the same issues he has struggled with.

 

Obviously many have, but it’s the repetitive ‘generalisation’ & myopic thinking that is quite ridiculous.

 

That said - in this (AI Generated ‘agony aunt’) story, the ‘trigger’ is there to attract all the older fellas & they can chime in…  ‘Dad’s got a bit of Thai fluff’….

All my pals in the UK had the same problem.

Most of my colleagues at work in the UK had the same problem.

All the guys I met in Thailand had the same problem.

 

Guessing you've never had a 40+ year old western wife. Can't say I'm that surprised, you don't seem to be the kind of guy western women would want.

Pop's is reliving his youth and quite normal.

 

I suppose you could relay to the daughter to throw an Apple AirTag in his luggage and track him down - almost certainly to Patts, but to have a good think about this approach because sometimes ignorance is bliss (remembering you can buy absolutely anything in Thailand and certainly not limited to ladies of the night or new girlfriends, if she gets my drift).

He discovered "love". 

Or to be more precise he feels loved by some girl who is nice to him. And likely nobody was nice like that to him for a long time.

If you want him back, then make sure he feels loved and appreciated by his family. Smile at him, ask him if you can bring him a beer and maybe some BBQ ribs.

   It depends on the Woman , as your then Wife began to have an affair with your gardener , could be that you wasn't able to satisfy her sexual desires and she had to go elsewhere and by refusing to have sex with you, she did remain faithful to him ?

   So, she sounds like a decent woman, not two timing her partners
