There are gold diggers everywhere albeit probably more concentrated in the likes of Pattaya. 

 

Surely the Aussie knew what he was in for especially if he knew prior that she was married to a Dane. 

 

He's partially to blame based on this story. Nothing is free, there will always be a cost. 

 

In this case user pays! 

No sympathy earned. 

 

Only Small old men with no spine left sue prostitutes

1. Never trust anyone in Thailand

2. Never marry anyone in Thailand

3. Never give anyone access to your finances 

4. Always conceal how much money/assets you have

5. Store your assets (gold, watches, precious stuff) in a secure location that only you have access to (safe, safety deposit box etc.)

 

You’ll thank me later. 

3, 4 and 5 for sure are true almost anywhere......1 and 2 maybe not so true, but need to be smart and use common sense on a case by case basis.....

Anyway this seems more like a court matter than a police matter.  

[kwaussie]

I wonder how much he paid the police to act for him???

Well that goes against the narrative that I have read here over the last two weeks. 

Maybe a case of attack being the best form of defence.

Obviously someone with no idea. Let me see:

1. Trust my Thai wife more than an other erson.

2.  Been married 18 years.

3. That applies to the world.

4.  Why? Once married that is a real ass w.....e thing. Secrets are a cancer in a relationship.

5.  Hidding your valuables from someone you should trust indicates your with the wrong person so leave.

Finally: marry a bar girl or "I was just a cashier or it was my first night" then you get the soiled goods you deserve.  It is near impossible to meet a good Thai or any good woman if you shop in the red light areas of any country.

 

The smugness leaps out in this one.

If your life is  materialistic, material focused, I  would totally agree with you.

                ********

If you live your life focussed on  compassion, Tolerance,  and Love, your " Rules " become very restrictive.

An Australian man is taking legal action against his Thai ex-wife after she reportedly had an affair with a Danish man and swindled his money. The accused Thai woman, on the other hand, is also seeking justice, claiming the Thai police sided with her ex-husband and treated her unfairly.

 

Paralee Saemalakor, the 48 year old accused, approached the superintendent of the Mueang Pattaya Police Station for assistance. She alleged that two police officers had threatened her, demanding that she pay 400,000 baht to her Australian ex-husband, Stephen Graham Goodes.

 

Paralee explained that on May 30, two officers arrived at her home and informed her that she was being charged with swindling money from a foreigner, who she later learned was her ex-husband, Goodes. Police ordered her to pay 100,000 baht to the foreigner to settle the case.

 

Paralee denied the allegation but, fearing imprisonment, decided to comply with the police’s demands. Unable to pay the full amount, she borrowed 30,000 baht from a friend. However, the officers refused the money and insisted on a minimum of 50,000 baht. Consequently, Paralee borrowed additional money and pawned her gold jewellery to raise the required 50,000 baht.

The officers then escorted her to the police station, where they handed the money to her ex-husband. They took a photo of the transaction as evidence and informed her that she still owed 350,000 baht.

 

Blaming each other

 

Paralee said the harassment continued even though she had already given the money to Goodes. He shared her picture on social media and insulted her in the caption by saying, “Hi, little whore.”

 

Paralee noticed strangers wandering outside her home, making her feel unsafe, and she eventually moved from Pattaya to Nakhon Nayok.

 

After consulting with a lawyer, Paralee learned that the police could not extort money from her and give it to her ex-husband. She tried to seek justice from the Mueang Pattaya Police Station but they ignored her complaint.

 

Paralee admitted that her ex-husband had covered her expenses during their relationship, which lasted from 2021 until April this year but she never forced him to pay. However, she broke up with him because of his infidelity.

 

The Australian man defended himself in an interview with Channel 7, claiming he discovered Paralee was married to a Danish man even before they met. He believed she was only with him for financial gain.

 

Goodes also mentioned using a GPS tracker on a tablet he gave her to confirm her relationship with the Danish man. He denied any knowledge of the police operation or how they obtained the 50,000 baht.

Sounds like a typical RTP Pattaya cash grab.

Level 2.

See the big boss.

Negotiation possible for many reasons.

Maybe he should not have mentioned that thing. I am pretty sure that will bring him into legal trouble. 

Likely something far worse than legal trouble.

This is a consequence of marrying a so-called "bar girl" (AKA prostitute) in Thailand?

 

Many expats happen to be in the same shoes.

I'm left confused yet again by a story here,  'Was Married' or still Married? If she also married the Ozzy legally, then that's bigamy, Where was the Danish man while she was the Ozzy's wife? PS. I don't trust any Thai woman with 'Blond' hair

I guess you can delete "in Thailand" in your post 😁

It especially applies to TH. You have a problem with the opinion stated, most likely based on experience, observation and conduct by any gold diggers in that specific country?

I know a dude, australian, send money every month and big lumps to get a house built for his retirement, to his thai gf of 43.

 

she has also a condo that she airbnb and she offer sexual services to whomever willing to rent ...

 

last month a malay dude came for business, she offered the usual sex package, he fell in love, paid 500.000 baht of her debt, promises to divorce his wife, leave his kids, buy her another house, ...

 

australian found out after cctv went back up, that she disabled... heard a conversation with the new dude, but now still do not want to give her up, sending money to keep the love

 

there is no love

 

the thai 43 year old is bipolar and hairy like a monkey ... she loves dudes wanting her, sending money, try to win...   crazy world

[bronzedude]

News must be getting scarce. This happens every week in Thailand, some guy gets involved with a already married woman, not knowing she is already married. My question is, did he take her to the amphur or Australia to get married or did he do one of those sham Thai weddings at the temple and all the fan fare?

That... could get him in serious trouble. This is a computer crime and defamation material in Thailand. If her lawyer is any good, this man could spend significant amount of time behind bars after publicly apologising to her in every media available...

Morning Lads,

Been reading the comments and appreciate every one of them, both positive & negative. I'm the Aussie involved and just wanted to clear something up. Yeah, I'm guilty of being sucked into something I thought I was smart enough not to. Happy to own the fact that I let it happen when the flags were there so don't hang me for making a blue. I'm not the first and probably won't be the last.

Obviously I can't go into detail even though I'd like to I but can say with 100% honesty the article is the biggest pile of garbage I've ever read. It's also on 3 different TV channels so if anyone is interested I'm going to make an OnlyFans page :)

One thing I can confirm is the fact that I only found out 2 days ago about some GPS rubbish on a tablet. I struggle to cable tie my portable one on my bike.

Once it's over, either way, I'll be more than happy to report any & every finding that comes out of it for those interested.

Keep the comments coming because I do appreciate differing opinions. I hope people learn from all your opinions because I certainly didn't.

Enjoy your day.

I put this one to ChatGPT, as you do..

 

"Slowly but surely, Paralee began to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart, finding solace in the simple pleasures of everyday life. She rediscovered the beauty of her city, immersing herself in its vibrant culture and bustling energy.And as time passed, Parallel  found that the pain of her broken heart had begun to fade, replaced by a newfound sense of resilience and hope. Though the scars would always remain, she emerged from the darkness stronger and more resilient than ever before, ready to embrace whatever the future held."

For this particular story the ChatGP version is quite laughable, but it does show the amazing capabilities of AI
