Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 7 Popular Post Share Posted June 7 A Good Samaritan reached out to help a poor Thai man in the Samut Prakarn province near Bangkok after he was scammed out of 10,000 baht by his supposed fiancée. A Danish investor living in Pattaya read the sad story about a Thai security guard paying his girlfriend 300 baht a day in instalments, only to be abandoned, on The Thaiger website. The 47 year old security guard, Pichate “Ched” Khamchom, sought help from several news agencies after losing his hard-earned money to his girlfriend. Ched met his alleged fiancée on a dating app. The unscrupulous woman convinced him to pay her 300 baht a day in instalments to save as a dowry and their wedding. Despite earning only 500 baht a day, the father of one was determined to make it work, hoping to build a life together. Tragically, his girlfriend then disappeared after he paid over 10,000 baht, leaving him heartbroken and financially embarrassed. Ched’s story deeply moved Casper, a 38 year old Danish investor residing in Pattaya. Upon reading about Ched’s predicament on The Thaiger platform, Casper contacted the team, expressing his willingness to reimburse the 10,000 baht that Ched had lost. Initially, Ched was cautious about accepting the money, fearing another scam. However, after reassurance from The Thaiger that the Danish philanthropist was genuine and sincere, Ched provided his bank details. To his surprise and delight, Casper transferred 15,000 baht, 5,000 baht more than his initial offer. When asked about his generous act, Casper admitted the story pulled on his heartstrings. “A hard worker who tried to follow his heart and got crushed like that shouldn’t lose hope. I always appreciate this. I put myself in a position to help others since I also come from a hard-working family, so I try to do this as often as I can.” Casper revealed that he is involved in multiple industries based in Pattaya. He mentioned that he has been living in Thailand for seven years and considers it his home. He expressed his desire to support the Thai people as much as possible. An overwhelmed Ched expressed deep gratitude to Casper. “I initially thought The Thaiger and Casper came from some scamming gang and attempted to get my bank account information to swindle my money. But I really got the money. I am very happy and appreciate the help. At least, I’m not facing only a bad thing. There is still something good waiting for me.” Casper also offered Ched some comforting words of encouragement. “Be careful. Don’t give up, one day you will meet someone.” The Thaiger team feels blessed to be part of this heartwarming story and to have the opportunity to connect with Thai and foreign communities in Thailand. We wish Ched all the best in finding the love he deserves and extend a wholehearted special thank you to Casper.

"a good deed never goes unpunished" comes to mind, wonder how long it will take the BIB and immigration to delve deeper into his visa and if he has a work permit or not. Why mention this statement in the first place? 1 1 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also possible he's got the PR machine working and is gathering brownie points before the authorities come knocking.

And if he is a member of the Outlaws gang, those guys are seriously bad news. Stories like this one are literally a dime a dozen. Women "romance scam" men just as often as men "romance scam" women it seems. Nice that someone helped out but the problem is - tomorrow there's likely to be a hundred more hands stretched out looking for free money. As for the "investor". Not an Outlaws patch. Their patch has a "rounded skull" with red eyes and an (engine) piston pointed out each side. Not a Rebels or HA or Bandidos or Mongols patch either. Or an Immortals or Necromancer patch. Lol - I just did a Google search for "Pattaya Motorcycle Club patches" and a photo of my bike (and MC banner) shows up - from a 6 year old article about the Hells Angels. (I'm NOT a member or affiliate of that MC !) Could be a member of a 100 different clubs just in Pattaya. No (visible) "1%" patch on the front. A LOT of motorcycle riders here have tats galore and aren't in "outlaw" MCs. 2 friends of mine (both rather big boys that ride rather large bikes) have lots of (visible) tats. One's an Aussie and one's a Swede. Neither is in a "1%" club. And keep in mind - in Thailand - Thais (a very large number of them actually) think that the "1%" patch just means their club is in the "Top 1%" of all clubs in Thailand. I had 5 friends all patch into the Bandidos some years ago. I tried to explain to them what the "1%" patch really meant but they didn't want to believe it. (Just had lunch with one of them a couple days ago. He knows - now - what the 1% patch means - especially to foreign members of the MC but says he himself is not "mafia".)
