Two problems with this: 1) I do not what cafe she works at 2) I have only an approximate address from her.

I really need her to send a Google maps location share to be sure where she is, so I can go there and find her.

Has she got email?

Get her to email you something, then you can find her location: Unless she blocked that too

That's not a bad idea. But she'll probably say "I'm shy to ask".

Like I said, she has a very old phone, doesn't use social media a great deal, she's not very savvy with phone tech. I don't even know how to share my location on Google maps. She can easily claim ignorance.

Yes, I could ask her to send a photo or video of her surroundings, around the cafe or condo. She may again claim the phone is not working.

I give up now as you are clearly taking the pisss or your brain has turned into a monkeys brain with brain damage as you ignoring what people are saying to you and then sidestepping as I said earlier:

She has friends with phones, she has work colleagues with phones she could just ask one of them to send the location as she stands next to them,

For instance with google maps you can call up history and follow where the person was in the last 7 days.

Do these infernal Iphone app equivalents to Google maps allow the same?

A last piece of info and that is that as we are all just going around in circles.

Yes on an Iphone you open the maps app by pressing the maps button on the screen.

You then scroll down a few inches and there is a button marked "Share My Location", press it.

A list of options appear so you can select text, mail, whatsapp, Line, etc

You choose one, press 'send' and the receiver gets a message.

The reciver gets a link to a map, you press the link and the map will open, you can then see the location on the map, zoom in and out. You also see the address.

Then press the location on the maps and you select "Directions", you will be given a turn by turn guide on how to drive, or other ways of getting there.

You can open the same message again at any time and use the directions again, all very simple to do, a five year old could do it.

Even if the receiver is an Android user?

Wouldn't it be easier for her her to just share her location via Whatsapp? I asked that, but she already told me "I don't know how to do on tablet, cannot."

Just now, Cameroni said:

Yes I knew it, you have been taking the pisss all along well done, you have been good entertainment for a few weeks during my coffee breaks.

You should write a comedy sketch and publish it. 😃

What does it matter? All you need to do is visit the cafe.

The problem is she could have just made up the name of the cafe and she may be in a totally different location. So you're suggesting I travel to Chonburi to surprise her and if she made up the cafe name the whole trip is a massive waste of time.

I'm serious! I know her! That's what she'll say!

Besides, she'll also say "I told you not come, save money, I know why you ask location, you want to come here! I not want!

She's not stupid! She's sly as a fox!

I could ask her to send a photo of the menu at her cafe!

But she'll just say "No have. Is with QR Scan".

Email: you have to look at the full header of the email (probably have to click somewhere depending on your provider, because normally the full header is hidden) then you look for something like "Originating IP"

Once you have the IP you paste this information in some free IP location search website. It will show you the location. BUT its not 100% exact and its useless if someone uses a VPN.

But different cities it should show clearly if no VPN is used.

There is also a way to get the IP from a WhatsApp call. but she has to take the call.

No excuse. QR would be useful, you will be directed to the website and find the address there

Oh my God, she only gets paid 300 Baht per day!

should actually be 400thb, since this is the minimum wage for a while already in this area. So either she is lying or she gets cheated.

But no question . if you offer like 20k or 25k allowance that would be way more than she can make with any unskilled work. So if she likes/loves you plus you are the better deal, she should be with you already. Unless that would be a waste of time and she can make way more money doing the obvious.

I meant in day to day handling when she's there with you.. In terms of dealing with her during this rupture, frankly it's been a rollercoaster.

Good point. She's lying for sure. I know don't believe she's working in a cafe anymore. She's most likely with her two best friends in Pattaya and didn't want to tell me she's partying there.

Her whole story doesn't make sense, she wants to earn the maximum amount of money for her birthday trip to Phuket...so she works for 300 Baht? Come on.

And when I say I'll come see her next week she pushes back for dear life, better to save money. No, just wait, it's not long...anything but have me come visit.

And why 8th February? Because as a 25 year old she's madly concerned about the prime minister elections. You can't make it up.

3 hours ago, Cameroni said:

Ok. I need some help.

Phuket Girl has said she'll come back to CM.

But now she says she can't come back before 8 February because she already registered to vote in Chon Buri for the Prime Ministerial elections.

Can she not vote before 8 February? Or by post from CM?

When I said I can then come to Chon Buri next week, she pushed back hard saying better to save money for her birthday trip to Phuket. She was firm she didn't want me to come. I even said I want to see Chon Buri if I'll move there, no dice. She doesn't want me to come there.

I'm feeling like something fishy is up here, and I told her so. This is not normal. It's like she doesn't want me to come to Chon Buri no matter what.

My wife vote online ;-)

Wherever my wife and most thais stay and live, they seem to be registered back home if they do not own any property other places. Takes time to get a new housebook, or sign in to the new landlords housebook.

That's useful but the IP locator will probably struggle to distinguish between Pattaya and Chonburi City and Chonburi province.

All depending on her provider, think Im in Saraburi which is 300km south for me or so

Nakhon Ratchasima for my new number which is 200km or so south east for me. Just checked another persons mail header for adress, and she was in a total different city than the original place she sent it from. Can not use mail headers for proof of anything. Only thing that matters is an app on the actual phone she is carrying.

I used to work offshore and some of the colleges I had gave their wife phones plug and play with everthing installed for their gf. Bad idea :D

If you cant trust them and this is what you have to go through to confirm your suspicions, F it!

No, but she has registered in Chonburi City, changed her tabien bahn and everything after being there for a week. It's amazing!!!

You forgot the Hole In The Bucket scenario.

I've got a broken wifi link,

Dear Liza, Dear Liza,

I've got a broke wifi link,

Dear Liza it's broke.

She can not vote online as she has no wifi, the 'cafe' she works in was built in caveman times as it has no wifi link as well and so she is having to live partly in the dark ages and in todays high tech world when the mobile which is very old you see decides it is going to work.

This does mean we also have to assume if she goes all the way to CM then the wifi there will also break five minutes after she arrives and so can not risk going there as it will bound to happen and so she will be in default for not voting. :) , so funny.

Cannelloni should be writing comedy sketches where he gets paid instead of wasting his talent on this blog, he is brilliant at doing at side shuffle as he goes along with his stories, they make me laugh.

That's another lie. You don't seriously think a 24 year old like her is seriously so politically engaged she absolutely has to vote in the PM elections?

Yes she is super fast, is it a plane, No! is it a bird, No!, it Phuket-Isaan-woman.

My partner told me she has been registered for years now for the local government elections at one of her houses near Surat Thani where she was born and at one of her houses here in Phuket for the general elections.

She said it is compulsory to vote in the general election otherwise there are consequences to pay but not in the local elections, the local elections you can decide if you want to bother to vote or not.

We all know what she will say... She's nearly as predictable as your are making these pathetic excuses for her.

Jamies is 100% right... She can send you her location. She can send you a photo of her location.

There are lots of ways she could let you know where she is and what she is doing - she clearly does not want you to know.

Why ????... because she is doing something she does not want you to know about.

If you like her a lot, and this is a true and correct story, I would text her that you can't abide this situation and that you don't want further contact till she is ready to see you, or at least be up front with you by making contact like normal potential couples. You can note that when she is ready you'll see what happens - and decide whether you still want to make contact - at that time. Then no replies or contact till she actually does so.

You would need to like her a lot as it doesn't bear thinking about what she's been up to for the last couple of weeks.

When I read some of the stuff on here (when it appears on the index side bar) I think of this from Coal Miner's Daughter:

Loretta Lynn: This stuff's cold.

Doolittle Lynn: That's because it froze between here and the damn restaurant. You want a hot breakfast, you got to go with me.

Loretta Lynn: I ain't going in there having all them people looking at me knowing what we've been doing in here.

Doolittle Lynn: Hell's Bells, Loretta. You think this is somethin' the rest of the world ain't caught onto yet? They don't give a damn.

Of course she can. I was just thinking her reluctance to call me, to do anything I asked like send photos, location etc was because she was mad with me for texting other girls.

However, yesterday, when she said clearly she missed me and wants to come back to CM I was very taken aback, because she again followed that up with but I have to vote in election in February. So clearly she's making up a reason to stay wherever she is, she claims Chon Buri still, until 8th February. Because supposedly she registered online and put Chon Buri. When I suggested just don't vote or re-register to vote in CM, 'can't'.

If she wasn't having a good time wherever she is, she'd be coming back much earlier than 8 Feb. But clearly she has a reason to stay there until 8 Feb. Unless a 24 year old takes voting this seriously.

Now, when I then suggested I come to Chon Buri next week, it was "No, better save money for my Phuket Trip on 20 Feb". When I insisted I had the 4000 baht to make the trip, and we could still go to Phuket it was "No, better save money". I insisted, saying, if we move to Chon Buri I really want to see the place, she didn't budge an inch "No, ist not long to February, just wait in Chiang Mai".

Her insisting so much that I don't come to Chon Buri, very obviously means she is indeed trying to hide something from me.

When I then told her "Let's just not lie to each other any more. Just tell me the truth what your'e doing there" she made excuses "have to work now, talk later".

She finishes at 18.30, but I only got a text at 21.20 "Tell you everything". When I replied sarcastically "Yes, you really did tell me everything, the name of the cafe, the name of the condo you're staying, you're trying to call me right now probably on video call to tell me more, but just bad internet? How's the aunt, you can't send a photo I guess cause she's shy right? It's really great how you tell me everything" She just replied at 23.30 with "What???". I left it unread. I won't reply to 2300 tonight, to again thank her for telling me everything, like yesterday night when she finished work at 18.30 and texted me one line at 21.30, "No doubt you'll tell me everything you did yesterday night too?".

This will no doubt annoy her so much she won't come on 8th February, but frankly I have doubts about everything now. Even if she were to come, my distrust in her would be at 100%. I'd ask to see her phone. Everything she says I'd mistrust. The anger, disappointment and mistrust she's caused would be a real problem.

She's obviously doing something she doesn't want me to know about. Getting paid 300 baht for a cafe job , even that is not credible now.
