His wife looted their joint bank account? 

 

Everything, his watch, money, burnt his passport and all his papers, clothes, shoes. In a mad fit of violence. He was a really nice man, loved the beach , met up with  mates for a beer. 

.A quiet type, I don’t know her reasons, but she certainly wasn’t badly treated .When he eventually got his passport and documents sorted he went home to his daughters. I know he comes back every high season for holidays with friends as I’ve met him . He stays in a hotel in Pattaya and comes to Jomtien beach every day in a taxi.

I'm the one from this storie and what news here writing over me ist complete false.

 

My Ex I stay with her near one year was 40 and I'm in the 50ties I think this is ok and I'm not one from this honey Tourists from the central Europe field they have no woman before in his life and they thinking they can buy love from a young woman with a bad social Background. I hate all this Sex Tourists and I stay not alone all of my life. 

I think the News want not Thai woman in the open society stay in not the right light because this woman steel all what I have with 40000€ Invest in a laundry in the Theprasit Road. This was all what I have and my money was on her Bank too. I loose my Bankcard before a long time in a Pattaya party time on a ATM Automat.

 

Yes, I was very stupid this you can say but what I read here over me is not ok. You don't know me. Now I stay near 6 weeks with nothing and without a room in the jomtien-Beach and only some Thailabd People help me with drinking and food. But next time comes my Pension and I have maybe one more week here I can surfive. They stop my Pension before more than one year because a letter on my Germanistik home adress is coming back.

Now I mercyful with my Ex Venizelos sie have not more knowledge AS a country village woman from Isan to steel money from Tourists and I think sie have now the right work as a cleanibg woman in fulltime.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS and maybe I see some from you near the police Station in jomten than I tell you more. Have a nice happy time and take care for beautyfool Pattaya womans 😉

Thanks for telling us, this could happen to any of us out here, good luck!

Most of us know someone who has endured this.

How do you know he has a credit card, phone, or even a bank account? How do you know the wife didn't keep the aforementioned or drain his account before kicking him out? Common sense suggests that if he had them he would have used them. Duh. Instructions: Make sure you have your facts straight before making judgmental comments. 

Agree, wife/gf stealing/destroying your credit cards, bank books and passport is very common, 

Maybe not to steal from you, but just to cause you problems.

 

Thai Debit cards, the ladies like to swap theirs with yours, you don't know its gone and if you try to use the ATM card they leave in your wallet, it just doesn't work and you think it's a bank problem. Then they have plenty of time to drain.

these farangs would not buy things in their own country which they are not allowed to own so why do they do it here I always wonder. 

 

Very simple.

Because women will usually give you an ultimatum. You have no choice.

They will ask for a house as either a sign of commitment OR they are planning to scam you down the road. 

And if you don't want to buy a house, you're left with girls in the bar scene.

Watch what you say, I know girls (young mothers) who have been abandoned by their boyfriends, now they have to fend for themselves, the lousy government does not help these POOR girls. These girls come from very poor families, just barely making ends meet to feed themselves daily. They would never see the money you have had or now have lost. 

 

Thailand's young mothers needs the sex tourists. 

Thailand is very different from where you come from, how would these young mothers (girls) feed themselves, their children etc. 

 

In the west the government would provide social security and welfare payments (thousands of dollars after the birth) for these young mothers, government would garnish the fathers wages, the woman may be on maternity leave, she has income but sadly in Thailand these very POOR young woman (girl) have no money to support herself and baby. 

Most times the father has abandoned her, these girls have no one to turn to for support, sadly they make wrong decisions in life. 

Shame on Thailand for not providing for these young mothers.

OK, I think we all know this but it's time for you to move on, turn the page, head back home.

You are a VERY LUCKY PERSON, your country will provide for you. Thailand does not offer this option, the comfort of welfare for their people, the Thai's must survive without financial support.

I don't agree that it's common, it happens, it happens in lots of countries.

Thailand has been my home over 20 years, I don't know anyone personally that it's happened to. 

 

People need to be accountable, keep your possessions, your valuables in a safe place.

If you co-habit with a woman in the west it's her house, no matter what name is on the deed.

The judge just signs it over to her, you might get to keep 50% in the end, but you won't be living there while the decision is made.

At least here, I know who owns the house right from the get go!.

Drama, some are into it! My pal's girlfriend flushed his passport and I know many who had knives waved at them. Don't let it get that far, nor be in a hurry to build a nest.

I sold a property in the UK, only my name on the mortgage. Some time later bought another property with my new partner, when it all went pear shaped my original cash investment was taken into account when the house was sold, she got 50% of the balance, which equated to very little.

Women don't like to be betrayed and get emotional.

If you're hitched up, maybe get out of Pattaya. 

Living with a gf/wife in Pattaya doesn't make any sense to me. 

 

I know the Lifestyle from village wimans and this street- or bar womans here in Thailand they have many times no choice to take care Childs and the parents. They are mothers and doughters. I hear many stories from this womans in my first times in Thailand alone and in party times. They are very diffrent to German street womans and I know many womans with this bad social background but my ex girlfriend was diffrent. She have 2 kondos in Bangkok and Rangsit and a big car, good credit card... many ground in Isan and she must not steel my money. I connect her in her holidays in Insomia Dance Bar and she have a work before in the service field from a tel company in Bangkok.

But she live in a diffrent reality with a psych Problem and this is a program she have from a sensible little womans not healthy and all must take care her... because she think she can do what she want.

This is the point I can forgive her what she make with me. 

Now after 6 weeks in the beach I have maybe one more week to surfive than comes my Pension and I go to a good friend in Vietnam. A bad point is, here in the beach they steel my tel and I have no more tel nr and contact from friends they can help me. In the beach you can not take care your things and to many street guys looking in the night what they can catch. I'm happy I have my passport and the rest from all my private things is here diectly behind the police Station in a bag because my ex put all in the box from me what I bring from Germany for a diffrent life in Thailand.

I want not tell you why but I have many years big Problems with our gouverment and the German secret police for my informatios in my 3 social media channels to the Corona theme and many from the World Situation now. In the end I run away  from Germany and I come not for funny traveling. This is the point not one help me now because not one help me in this more than 5 years in Germany too and I cut all this false friends you can only have in happy and good times. 

Have all a nice happy times and thank you for your good wishes

Pattaya still holds a lot of positives beyond the girlie scene. Perhaps move away from the central areas, and beware of these emotional ladies! Many many are living with a GF/wife without much drama....

There but for the grace of god go a lot of us.

You are talking semantics, if she owns the land which the house you paid for is sitting on she can kick you off her land any time she wishes. 

 

You could of course move the house down the road and live in it there if she allows you back onto the land to move it. 😃

Can't kick anyone out of your own house. And it's government land, so it's in her possession but not owned.

Some women all over the world, not just in Thailand, when they take over all of their husbands’ money and put the house in their name, they get rid of the man who raised her status and gave her something that he owns.

no... this is about Thailand and Thai people.  Dishonesty & cheating is more prevalent in Thailand.

As far as I can tell from all of the stories I have heard over the last 30 years is it is about stupid farangs with their ex-bar-girls who find old stupid farang guys and steal everything they have, it has nothing to do with the majority of  Thai women where 99% of them are married to Thai men.

So some good news just to balance things out for us guys, I bought my house in 1994 for 175k GBP and sold it in in 2021 for 750k and I got 100% of that so that is a few point for the blokes. 👍

Whomever's name is on the house before marriage is the owner. I bought , mortgaged, my house in Texas less than a week before we got married and It was mine in the divorce. There were 3 children involved also, and she got primary possession, at least until she moved away without permission to another state.  If you buy the house together, it will be sometimes given to whomever gets the children, depending on total economics or it can be sold and split 50/50 in the divorce settlement, or sometimes equitably. depending on other joint possessions. Here, if you pay 100% for the house its both if you are married when it's built. If you bought, built it, before the marriage, it's yours.

I don't think I want to know about such things. 

 

My Thai partner of fifteen years built nine houses, she rents out eight of them,  she built none of them on government land, and not a penny of it came from me, I must be doing something wrong by the stories I hear from the many farangs I come across. 

 

Can anyone give me lessons on how to throw my money away and lose my independence?

I will be the first to admit I am far from perfect, but I do know I am not as dumb as the numerous old farangs i have come across over he last 30 years,  who seem to think it is the norm to 'purchase' a young Thai woman by buying a house in the woman's name, then finding out they also have to pay for her family and the sick buffalo and think it is the norm. 

 

This belief is further reenforced by the fact they only hang out with like minded farangs, they never meet the normal sort of farang as they avoid them like the plague. 

 

At least I do not have a gold star in stupidity, I have bought properties I rent out as part of my pension but they are safe in the UK well away from sticky fingers.

From what I hear, that is a market to get out of, being a landlord getting pretty tough in the UK these days, rules and requirements being stacked against you.
