newsite12 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) The main point you missed , money IN HAND for 3 months , the funds you had were not in your hand , it was in the hand of an outside entity that could and did lock your access to them , you planned your move to Thailand 9 months in advance , you know much about Thailand and how it operates , but you still failed to purchase a return flight (Money in YOUR hand) . You seem to be unaware that you cannot teach without a work permit , you are also unaware you cannot even busk in Thailand without a permit , for all of your reading(Perfect English) you seem to have failed to learn even the smallest detail about what you can or cannot do in Thailand . Time will tell . Please read all my follow up posts.... you will notice I mentioned twice that i know about not being able to work in Thailand without a work permit. I mentioned about it in the original post and the post about the busking, i already mentioned that i knew it was not legal. I also know working on my web business is not legal, but at least it is more inconspicuous than strumming a guitar outside the Korat mall.

thequick7 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 i know u stated that u would never use ebay or paypal again, but could you set up another account in your gf's name get another bank account (a thai bank?) and start again? what is it that you were selling? does it resemble something that is already made by another company too much?

sbk Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Well,this thread certainly attracted the flames. So, first off. Mind your manners and keep it civil thanks. Secondly, OP, if you don't want discussion on the details of your life then simply post only the pertinent facts and leave out personal details you don't want discussed, By posting those details you invite discussion of them and as such, you will need to accept that fact. Thirdly, drop the discussion of member's english and grammar, its very poor forum netiquette and one that is frowned upon here as many of our members are not native English speakers. And finally, a note to leon1503- please do not post in all caps, its distracting, difficult to read and is considered shouting. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahsbloke Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) ... the issue is ebay/paypal can just randomly STEAL ALL YOUR SHIT?! <deleted> is up with that? thats some scary business right there, and they cannot be held accountable? sounds like the biggest scam ever and they are allowed to continue doing this? Paypal do this all the time, most experienced traders either take the money out of the Paypal account ASAP, or operate a second Paypal account to 'buy' something from themselves, hence cutting the ties to their Ebay account.

The items were actually makes i have never heard of, we are not taking Rolex and Gucci that you find everywhere, or even footy shirts. they weree audio equiptment that were of generic origin. All this was proven to Paypal, whom accepted the evidence. Ebay never even disputed the items in the first place... But a few days later, Paypal just blocked the account again and asked for proof of delivery with tracking, which I again supplied, and when proved that all items were delivered, and that customers were more than happy, i got this suspension notice with reason "your recent Ebay activity" and that counterfeits were forbidden. the only association with such items was this non paying bidder's negative feedback. That's all i can assume caused this. There is absolutely no way to get these guys to change their mind short of starting court action against them. Like I said, this has happened to be before, when i owned my own brand of musical instruments... I was a huge Ebay trader, and had more than £12,000 locked into paypal for 9 weeks. I had to start court proceedings to get them to unblock the account. I was the bloody brand owner. with fully registered trademark. What do they want? That is Paypal and Ebay. the internet is awash with victim stories. mine is a mere drop in the ocean. Never again... once bitten, twice shy, if i was to come on here in 6 months saying they did it again.... You would probably (and deservedly) rip me to shreds i think.

I also had my business Barclaycard blocked after using it once, and i used it to pay for the dam_n flight in my name in the first place. yes, you are totally correct. UK society only sees fathers as potential badness, and all the light of favour falls on the mother. Here are some very true statistics. Most child abuse is at the hands of a step parent (usually male)... 90% of child murders are at the hands of a stepfather. Surely if the law used the simple logic derived from these statistics, then the father would be the obvious person to place the child with, so as to maximise protection of the child. but it does not work like that. The mother can say what she wants about the father, and this all gets believed, the father can say what he wants about the mother, and all this gets ignored.... no wonder those horrifying statistics exist. This is why my family back home keep a very close relationship with my kids, they have had way more access than me, and i done everything right and nothing wrong..... <deleted>. Can i thank everyone (no matter what reply they posted.) This has at least allowed me to get things off my chest and clear my mind and give me back my focus.

Rumblecat Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 You seem to be unaware that you cannot teach without a work permit , you are also unaware you cannot even busk in Thailand without a permit , for all of your reading(Perfect English) you seem to have failed to learn even the smallest detail about what you can or cannot do in Thailand .

Especially as the part about busking where he specifically mentioned that fact he understood busking would be a no-no without a work permit.

But like someone already said.. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. 1000 Baht and 180 days = 5.56 baht per day. I'm fairly thrifty when it comes to money but Im not too sure about being able to make 1000 baht stretch that far, I assume you like to eat, at least once per day. How is it that you were going to stay 180 days anyhowz, I mean, ur on a tourist visa & from ur OP, you seem to have already been here for a while. Without a pot to pisse in you seem as if you are up the preverbial creek without a paddle. Im not sure I have any advice for you but one question begs to be answered. How did you notice you were in this situation when you suddenly only had 1,000 baht left........shouldnt the alarm bells been ringing a fair bit before that? Its a bad idea to be working since you don't want to end up in some immigration prison, especially cashless in one and with nobody back home willing to throw you a life line, you could literally rot there.

And your opinion would be totally wrong without any actual experience of police treatment of men accused of domestic violence in the UK (no evidence required) If his ex plays the domestic violence/child abuse/stalking cards that my ex plays, the best place for him to be is in Korat. The UK police can't harass, arrest and question him on a regular basis ... and he can prove he wasn't there. Ever tried holding a job down, when the police walk in and pick you up twice a week for questioning? As my brief always tells me ....... ALWAYS say you weren't there, makes it very hard for the police to prove anything (even if you did it and were there). My ex reported my parents (in their 70s) and me to the police for having a gun and planning to kill her, 3 months after I moved to Thailand, the police wanted to search their house! Luckily I wasn't there! Edited September 16, 2010 by sarahsbloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dumball Posted September 16, 2010 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2010 So I never had the same experience as many have on this forum!!!!!!!! , I had a run-around wife when my chidren were still young , needed to give this some thought as far as the develpment of my chidren was concerned , I had made the decision to emmigrate to Canada because at that time there were many more prospects for thier lives in the future . Having seen and heard how much mental agony children go through when thier parents have a parting of the waves , I decided it was my duty as the father who helped introduce them to the world , shanghied them to Canada , it was also my duty to stay and ensure both thier safety and wellbeing . I swallowed my male pride , explained to them what my intentions were knowing we would be a partialy disfunctional family . I watched them grow to maturity , giving encouragement and guidance where needed , went to teacher discussion days and all else where I needed to be at the time it was needed , I could have opted for separation/divorce , but i considered it selfish to only think of my own predicament , when they finaly finished thier educations and had decent jobs , I went through separation because they had two successfull feet to stand on . They have never looked back , I could not have helped them in this manner from a distance and only seeing them on specific dates , they are still successfull today because they were given a more or less normal upbringing and always had me to fall back on when they needed moral advise , which we all do at times . No , of course I do not know how much you suffered , but I am well aware of how much your children were and will be for some years to come , throwing money and gifts at them in no way replaces having a father 'In situ' whom they can touch , talk to and cry on his shoulder when the need arises , love is only a word until you give it from the heart expecting nothing in return , but then , I guess you knew that already ?????????????? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanson Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Jesus who cares if he loves his fuc_king kids or not ... the issue is ebay/paypal can just randomly STEAL ALL YOUR SHIT?! None of us advising the OP to go home ever said he didn't love his kids. But this man's situation cannot be only about money, independent from his other responsibilities in life. If he was young, single, childless, debt free, etc., it would be one thing. He's not. His lack of money most likely will affect his children in the near or distant future. If he continues to live here without any income, how will he continue to support his children at home? He needs to think about putting his family first. I really don't mind the critiques. I fully understand that all the facts are not present in the original post which i thought to be too long as it already stands. I intended to fill it in blank spots as i go, just to clarify points for the readers. My children are well supported, i give up my house and a S**tload of cash for their well being. I basically left myself almost broke so that i could provide for their future. My arrangements coming here were that i am returning to the UK in November to sort out a few things and have some time with the kids before returning here for another spell. I could (at one time) webcam with them on msn, and we could interact well. There was absolutely no indication other than my children's love for me. I can't believe for a moment that all of a sudden, they would all three decide to cut me out. As for my ex... she is an habitual slut. My kids would complain tome that she would have a different man in her bed every week, this was not good for my kids to see. That is the sort of person she is.. i had to step in when my 8 year old daughter complained to me that one guy who would drive 80 miles after work every day to get there, was constantly following my daughter around the house and sitting next to her and cuddling her all the time, and emailing her like 3 times daily. Whilst paying no heed to the other 2 kids, and not even as much attention to their mum. When i read these emails.. it screamed out pedophile to me... How would most men react to that??? So obviously i stirred up a load of trouble till she dumped this creep.. the consequences were, that i was barred from seeing my kids for months afterwards. A small price to pay in my opinion to guarantee the safety of my daughter. You see..... There are always extenuating circumstances to all my actions. I have been through a heck of a bad time. I needed this fresh start. My new project WILL eventually be started, and it WILL make a lot of money, and that is all part of my long term plan to rejuvenate my future and give my kids a really good upbringing. When they are 16 they will no longer be in their mother's care. i will have them, and 2 of them have already stated this as what they want. That is what my ex hates.. because once she loses the kids to me, then she will have no financial support. She may even have to get her first job ever. Hmmmm. Seems to me that of course you are not about to give details/explain your attitude towards your kids. But you did have three of them before taking the 'grass greener' route. I'm guessing you're still relatively younger than the 'old fart' contingent on this forum? ie, home bred 'kids' are never mentioned here, so former 'kids' all growed and able to take care of themselves. This is easy. I'm also guessing that if my supposition re your kids in your 'home country' is fact, insofar as they are being taken care of by you, and/or the State, your presence, with or without the consent of your wife will only add to your kids' 'discomfort'.And so, if you are truly willing to work on your project, and your girlfriends' family are willing to give you a space on the floor and a bowl of quid diaow in the interim, take it. You'd be no use 'over there' anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginexile Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 This seems to be fueled by the fact that you did leave your "three young children" to live on the other side of the world. You chose a girl you met online over your own children. You chose your happiness over theirs. No wonder they feel abandoned. My advice? Go home and be with your children before it's too late. The longer you are away, the less likely they are to forgive you and to accept you back into their lives. Hmmmm.... The fact s are, that my kids were fine with me and my decision. I totally explained the situation. We were in constant contact via msn and facebook, until last month i found they all deleted me from their facebooks, and so i messaged them, and they added me again, only to remove me again after a few hours, and then i got emails from them that seemed to be strangely written, and NOT sounding like what my kids would write like. The grammar was totally different to that of my kids. Then an email from my ex missus saying stop adding them to my facebook as it was confusing them. She is in fact a very nasty piece of work who was with me until the big money stopped rolling in, then she dumped me for a succession of different men, an airline pilot to name but one. That is the sort of person she is. My last encounters with my children online were happy ones and we would laugh and joke and they would love to hear about all the strange things in Thailand. I would mail them gifts etc... there were NO problems between me and my kids. Well there certainly is now...and no wonder!! How could you abandon your own children! It's unbelievably how you are trying to blame your ex! You have chosen cheap love/sex over the welfare of your own children, how could you? Making merit to your own house won't help you, the Gods hate people like you.

Popular Post Loz Posted September 16, 2010 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2010 Living inexile, I don't remember ever being quite so at odds with one of your posts? Are you having a bad day? You are usually full of the milk of human kindness. Chap is having a crap time of it and while he COULD have just sold his sob story, he manned up and put it in context. Kudos for that at least. To gclet involved in arguments about raising kids is very near the knuckle when you don't know all the parties involved. I'm just sticking to the matter in hand which is ebay has frozen his money so how can he do ANYTHING however good or bad he is?? Hindsight is 20/20 and while many of us would not have put all our resources at risk like that, fact remains, we would all be better of coming up with solutions to this problem than tearing the chap down. And before you ask, as far as I know,I don't know the bloke from Adam. But Its a heck of spot he's in. Would be easy to poke fun at it,and indeed my busking post did just that but as he raised this first on another forum and I have offered him some advice and am looking into helping him out myself or by proxy, I didn't feel too bad about a bit of humour. Can't kick a man when he's REALLY down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh1 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 This seems to be fueled by the fact that you did leave your "three young children" to live on the other side of the world. You chose a girl you met online over your own children. You chose your happiness over theirs. No wonder they feel abandoned. My advice? Go home and be with your children before it's too late. The longer you are away, the less likely they are to forgive you and to accept you back into their lives. Hmmmm.... The fact s are, that my kids were fine with me and my decision. I totally explained the situation. We were in constant contact via msn and facebook, until last month i found they all deleted me from their facebooks, and so i messaged them, and they added me again, only to remove me again after a few hours, and then i got emails from them that seemed to be strangely written, and NOT sounding like what my kids would write like. The grammar was totally different to that of my kids. Then an email from my ex missus saying stop adding them to my facebook as it was confusing them. She is in fact a very nasty piece of work who was with me until the big money stopped rolling in, then she dumped me for a succession of different men, an airline pilot to name but one. That is the sort of person she is. My last encounters with my children online were happy ones and we would laugh and joke and they would love to hear about all the strange things in Thailand. I would mail them gifts etc... there were NO problems between me and my kids. Well there certainly is now...and no wonder!! How could you abandon your own children! It's unbelievably how you are trying to blame your ex! You have chosen cheap love/sex over the welfare of your own children, how could you? Making merit to your own house won't help you, the Gods hate people like you. "Ye reep what ye shall sow" I hope you end up in the gutter where you belong With 1000 baht to his name ..think the op is already in the gutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
