gusalf Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Who are the Farangs on bikes who keep asking "Do you speak English?" then "Are you married?", who then bugger off politly when my answer to the second question is "No". It has to be a scam of some sort , any ideas what ? Oh, I've tried saying I'm not interested in a time share but they deny this and then buzz off.

Tony121 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Sounds like time share to me they want you to have a missus so at least they have a chance of brainwashing at least one of you on your holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to one of these pests a few weeks ago,not knowing he was a time-share rep,he told me that they get a 1 year visa and a work permit,even though time-share is illegal in Thailand,someone is getting a nice back-hander.

koheesti Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Interesting. I was stopped by a farang on a motorbike a few months ago. He told me about so party at a place I had recently eaten at that is half resort / half timeshare. I didn't know they ride around looking for clients. I guess they find enough tourists who love the island and are willing to fall for the dream and shell out the money.

Cuban Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Just say 'I live here!' I said exactly that, "Suegha lives here!" He replied, "Yes we think this is the underlying cause of the fantastic growth we have seen in Samui property prices - so now is the best time to buy your time slice of this tropical holiday hot - spot."
