You must have funds to support your stay in TH ... so in violation.

 

Guess he's one of those expats that may use an agent, or not.  Wife, and can't even muster up a hotel stay with that 40k a month ... hmm ... oops


Where does it say he has no money in the bank, or that he has only 40K a month?

 

I know you get far less than that every month, by your own admittance in a previous post, so maybe you should be removed from this country.

    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.

Please don't try and patronize someone who's education is obviously far above your own. That you don't understand a lot of what I say isn't my fault. Foreigners have to have money in the bank to stay, which means he isn't giving it all to his wife. 

 

I thought you lived here for so many years and should already know this. I understand English is not your first language, but it is mine, so sometimes you get lost in the translation. 

 

Where , by this story, is it obvious he doesn't have any money? Nowhere. His money is most likely still in a bank, and since she kicked him out, his paperwork is likely still in the house, until he can be escorted by the police to get it.He's not considered homeless. He was just kicked out, and those that live here, foreigners, know full well how some Thai women can get, demanding, intimidating, manipulating, forceful, abusive, etc. He might not be the type who says, "no one's going to kick me out of my own house", because he fears reprisals by her family of friends, seeing he's a slight man. What do you consider the stupid behavior on his part, from this short story?

So, you never heard of agents fixing permission to stay? I also never posted he was considered a homeless. What I wrote was that he was now living like a homeless person. So, in this case it´s still you that don´t understand. On the other hand, I thought you stayed long enough to do that.

And, of course it´s the woman´s fault, because Freddy post how they can be.......Bad, life experience Freddy? The man who lives in the world where no man can do wrong. Dr. Fred Dr. Fred wake up now.......

Can you please tell me, what kind of man, will accept getting kicked out, without taking his phone, bag and economy with him? I never said he should stay and fight. However, as I posted from start. You can´t be that stupid when living in a foreign country.

For a person who state the above, you really make ridiculous a new word in connection with understanding. 😂 Your education might be miles over mine. The question in your case, is not your education. I am worried about how much you actually learned.

She tried to get the house, which would have been the worst mistake she could ever make, but the court doesn't give the house to a woman when the foreigner paid 100% for it and can prove it.

 

When a Thai woman, married to a foreigner,  buys a property the foreigner has to sign documents at the land office that it isn't his money.

Did you read the OP ...

... "leaving him with nowhere to go and no means of support."

 

You must have me confused with someone else.  Stating I live on less, doesn't mean I have less.  I'm on a retirement visa, via monthly income.  And my USA Soc Sec DD covers that alone.   I simply planned well, and I am able to live easily on my pittance of a pension.  Well, last year and so far this year.  Though that won't last long.   Rainy season, so will be O&A quite a bit now.

 

Last 4 DD @ BBL ... and that's at 33-34.

Gottfrid, almost every time we talk, you assume I don't know something, when I already do. You must read, and understand, all of what I write before coming back and assuming. I said it could be either one of their faults, or both sides cause of this, although the man, being a foreigner, must have enough money to stay here. Of course I know about agents, and it's possible she was paying for everything, but highly unlikely. 

 

A man here that has a wife who owns the house can be kicked out, especially under threats or if he's a little slow because of dementia or another illness. We weren't there. maybe she pulled a weapon and threatened him, as many here are prone to. Maybe other relatives or older children were also there, and told him to leave. he isn't a big man, so threatening him could be easy. 

 

It isn't being stupid in the heat of the moment, getting kicked out of your house and not thinking of taking your possessions. He could have thought about it minutes later, but feared for his safety. 

 

Before you assume again, you have no idea just how much I know about domestic problems, what you need to do, or what can happen. When you go through a few divorces, especially involving children, and have those children end up living with you, as I will this one, you do understand what rights you have, and that you might have to play dirty to get what's right for your children. Again, read everything before replying, and stop assuming, as you don't know how much anyone else here knows.

 

This isn't our country, so we have to play along, using the law if need be, and doing what you can to not be taken advantage of. Before you judge, you need to put yourself in other's shoes before you understand what they're going through. You might have a good marriage now, and treat your wife very well, but I did, and the real her eventually came out, and you can't hide crazy forever. But you don't let crazy get over on you forever.

Before you assume, read . This property wasn't bought. It was already in the family's name. I had the house built, and the house was put in her name, as it always is. Nothing to do with any money. I paid everything to build this house, so I can stay. It's still their land in their possession, although the government owns it

Yes, I don't get it, that him and a few others have such intolerance for other foreigners. They actually think they're a resident here, not knowing just how many are only tolerating them because of the money they spend here. If you didn't like your home country, it isn't a reason to trash others from there, of other foreigners because of the actions of a few dolts that come here and cause problems.

No, I don´t hate foreigners. Only people who comes to a foreign country and in one way or another ends up with problems. Oh, wait now! Also all the ones on AN that think they are superior to Thai people. As we are discussing on the platform mentioned, I guess that leaves little to imagination, right Mr. Cowboy! Are you ready?

Because you paid for everything doesn't give you a right to stay. Wake up, you got nothing if they decide to kick you out

It's an interesting phenomenon.  The two in this thread both claim to be happy and successful, yet they have this incredible hatred and anger for other foreigners bubbling beneath the surface.  It seems that they cannot resist an opportunity to put other foreigners down, and feel the need to make out that any friction between Thais and foreigners is the fault of the foreigner.  It's like their rational/critical thinking is completely disengaged.

 

There was a thread a few days ago, about two foreigners having sex in public, and one of them wrote this strange comment where they got really angry, basically claimed that all the users on this forum are the same as this couple, and demanded that they should all go home.

Because she tried to get the house and her lawyer, and the judge, said since he paid 100% you can't get the house or have him leave, gives me the right to stay. Wake up, experience things before you make opinions. If they decided to kick me out, I would go to court, file a motion to sell the house, and wait for a buyer. I'm waiting for her to do the right thing, for her daughter's sake, and help us re-establish back in the US. Everyone here knows she'll do better in the US, along with my ex. If she doesn't, she will not get this house and we will just leave. When you pay 100% for something, from money accrued before you met someone, it's all yours.

Time to start watching your back, and maybe hire someone to taste your food before you consume it, like they had in the Middle Ages.

I haven't made any long winded replies. I just asked you to read them thoroughly, and understand them, before you respond too quickly. Many foreigners, especially if they paid 100% for the house, do own it, along with their wives. If they choose to stay, they can. When they leave, the woman gets the house IF he doesn't want a share in it from a sale. As far as fearing for your safety, we don't know what happened. maybe his wife pulled a knife on him like so many here do, and him, being an older, slight man, maybe not able to defend himself, walked away without thinking. or maybe he was drunk and not in a frame of mind to remember his things, and was threatened.

Assume, assume, assume. If you must know, on 4 occasions, after a very mild argument, she took our daughter and fled. First time for 2 months, came back, stayed awhile, again for a month, came back, stayed awhile, then 3 months, came back, stayed awhile and then the last time for 1 1/2 years. I talked with her all the while on the phone, as did my English school owner friend, who knew her as long as he knew me, and who tried to convince her to come back because all she said to him was never a reason for her to leave once, let alone 4 times, but in this country, parental kidnapping means nothing, so all I could do was wait. I got tired of it, filed for divorce, to get my daughter home, and got joint custody, and she can't leave our village without permission with our daughter or she will be arrested. 

 

She is a covert narcissist, if you understand what this is, who love bombed me until I moved here and built the house, then started her insanity, from abuse, pulling knives on me, even though she was mad at someone else and I was there, trying to console her. constant silent treatment, and then the kidnappings. Now she's married again, to another foreigner, who lives in another country and sends her money, while she has 4 boyfriends she talks and goes with here, without her husband knowing, at least for now.

 

If she did this in the US, the parental kidnappings, the first time she would have gone to jail, and lost full custody.  I could have had friends track her down and arrested, but here they don't care near as much about the stability of children, and automatically give them to the woman. She wasn't trying to get rid of me. She wanted total control, like all narcissists do, to get money, for me not to talk, and just live here unhappy. My daughter and I deserve more, and she will get what's coming to her, as karma eventually does happen to those who intentionally hurt others.

I met a Thai girl recently. She was insistent to know where I come from.

I asked why it was so important.

Because they read news articles, and in their minds, there are some nationalities that are bad.

I think, for whatever reason, German was one of them. Probably due to some story she had read about a German doing sth in Thailand, she didn't trust Germans. 

Kind of silly, since people from all nationalities will be in the news for sth.

Yes, all personal experience. If one German hurt them or an acquaintance, they might be labeled. Some nationalities do cause more problems than others, but it's still not a good idea to judge all by a few.

Life often has problems that are beyond our control. 

 

Only on silly forums like this do people come on here and expect all foreigners to have perfect lives free of any problems and then make bold statements like "go back to your country".

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

Will it not be 7 days after divorce is granted. Until then, he's still married.
