A German national was rescued in Jomtien, over the weekend, after being found in a distressed and vulnerable state, having reportedly been evicted from his home by his Thai wife without explanation and living at the beach.

 

The incident came to light during a routine patrol by the Jomtien District Inspection Team, operating under the Policy and Planning Division of the Pattaya Municipality Office. 

 

The patrols are carried out in accordance with the directive of Pattaya Mayor, Mr Poramet Ngampichet, who has reiterated his commitment to safeguarding the well-being of all tourists and residents in the city.

 

Municipal officers responded promptly to the presence of a foreign man in visible distress. Officers arrived at the scene and coordinated with Pol. Col. Anek Sratongyu, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, as well as other local law enforcement personnel.

 

They found the German national, whose name was withheld, distressed and without shelter. Preliminary questioning revealed that he had been abruptly evicted from his home by his Thai wife, leaving him with nowhere to go and no means of support.

 

Authorities acted swiftly to provide immediate assistance. Municipal officers, in collaboration with city police, ensured the tourist was taken to a safe location. The case was subsequently referred to the Tourist Police and the Immigration Bureau to provide further support and to guarantee his safety and welfare moving forward.

 

In a statement, Pattaya City expressed its gratitude to all agencies involved for their cooperation and swift action, which underscores the city’s dedication to being a safe and welcoming destination for both tourists and expatriates.

Plenty of hotels in town. 

 

Instructions...

1. remove credit card from wallet, check into hotel 

 

2. go to ATM, withdraw cash, check into hotel 

 

3. scan QR code at hotel reception 

 

I get the impression the poor guy maybe has dementia issues. Seems sad... not everyone has credit cards or ATM cards... a domineering wife could be behind this too.

The heading reads..... evicted from his home by his Thai wife without explanation

Did he buy this home in the 1st place or just moved in with a Thai lady who owned her own home?

Yes, if he bought it it's his to live in until he dies, unless she chipped in somehow, where it's both of theirs, she can't kick him out, and there has to be a court settlement after selling. If he's on the streets, she might have his belongings, cash, credit cards etc, and he might have some mental issues that make it hard for him to help himself. If he moved into her house then he'll need to get possession of his money, in a bank of course, then find a place to stay until the divorce is final and things are settled, where he can then decide where he wants to live, hopefully in a better place.

No idea, but if he's a free loader I'd kick him out to

How many times you have seen this before with Germans?

What's more likely is that he's paid for everything and she's the problem, as most of us living here has seen over the years. Greed has many women becoming greedier, not appreciating the better life they are given and only the need for more gold , cash and cars to brag to her "friends". Normal women appreciate when a man takes care of them, but those with mental issues are wired to believe they always deserve more. Of course, he could be part of the problem, maybe a drunk or abuser, but obviously being a foreigner living here, he has enough money to stay.

When people don't like a certain nationality, they automatically put the blame at that nationality. Many times we see it's the Brits, Russians, Chinese or Middle Easterns that get the flack, with a scattering of Americans, Irish, Polish , Germans and Swedes.

150 million homeless worldwide.   I'd try to freeload at some point.  Could have picked a worse country and climate.   It was someone's kid.   Sad situation. 

Million baht he found his wife at the bar

I'm sorry to hear that a woman has done this to you

Don't worry immigration will provide him with a home at the IDC, until someone can be found to buy him a ticket to Germany. Kind immigration officers will even escort him to his flight to make sure he doesn't get lost on the way.

I'm living in the house until we leave. No one will kick me out of my house, and karma comes around when a woman does things to an innocent man. I'm not near the only one who has picked a disturbed woman here and paid a price, along with being threatened with knives, as I hear it a lot. As far as greed, eventually the ones who only look at men for their money will also pay a price when he leaves or dies, as they'll only have their middle aged self who no locals want, along with any children still in the house. But yes, they'll have that gold. Some here are ticking time bombs and their men haven't a clue until it happens.

Sorry, but you can´t be that stupid living in a foreign country. But, looks to me that the wife had the money, and not him.

If he's been living here legally, he has his money to fall back on, so now he's likely in a much better place, especially is she's the problem. And if she is, and she had a good free rid, now karma will take over and she'll be left with what she had before, which is likely nothing but that house.We don't know their ages, but if shes in her middle ages, she might have kicked out her ATM.

What does that mean exactly? How can you see who has the money in this story? As a farang, it's a lot more likely that he's the breadwinner. There is a slight chance that she has money, the house, a job, etc, and he's living on his pension, but more likely it's the other way around. And if he has that pension or retirement, he's also more likely to have more than she does.

I will want her if she takes your money and shares it with me.

 

I need to pay my gambling debts and get free booze. 

 

No locals want....are you kidding me lol

Unless here on a marriage extension .....

in which case his extension is gone the moment she chucked him out, with 7 days to leave the country.

He has more time than that, especially because a divorce takes time. After the divorce, he can switch to either a dependent visa, if there are children, or a retirement if he's old enough.

Nope, the 'defacto' rule is broken the moment she indicates you are no longer welcome.

Which is why you need wife at immigration for extensions, they ask her if she still wants you around.

No, the older a woman gets here, the less likely a local will want her, especially if she has kids. Except of course to just use and toss aside.

But that extension won't be in 7 days. He has a lot of time to stay, especially if the marriage was a legal one. We know very little of this story. If he paid 100% for that house, it's also his to stay in and a court date has to happen. They don't go looking to kick you out the moment a woman tries to kick you out of the house. He can stay until the divorce, and also longer if his marriage visa is still valid.............https://www.thaiembassy.com/family/divorce-in-thailand
