I do recall the Mrs selling a house in regional City and she was very particular about the original land title deed (or whatever it's called here) - I thought she was being a bit paranoid but she would not hand it over until she had full confirmation the money was in her bank account - in fact I think they all went to the bank together...

Its called a chanote!    and what your Mrs did is a normal transaction, until  full confirmation the money was in the bank account you do not hand over the chanote, also both would go to the Land office to get the name change,

I often wonder if these characters are just actors or guys coming over to SEA after getting an inheritance. They seem casual in throwing such large sums of money around. You need to be part of a multi-national or play golf with established business people in Thailand to put any money up or do any substantial deals. The only country in SEA I would consider buying anything bigger than a second hand motorbike or car is Singapore.. maybe Malaysia but even then probably not.

 

He could have bought a little apartment in Brussels with that 8 million baht and have around €1k  going until his account every month. And most importantly it's safe and trustworthy way of investing money. 

 

8 million, you might get a small studio in BXL, depends where, police no go zone neighborhood ?

So she is guilt but has connections so she's laughing at justice. Just another day in paradise. Put this trash in prison for 10 years 

 

The connections probably have little to do with it.  She's relaxed about it because she took land/money from a foreigner and there is little he can do about it.

You can kind of see why the guy would be so trusting.  In most Western countries, someone could very easily go to the police if someone stole from them and the police would take action, which acts as a deterrent for such crimes.
