ludditeman Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I agree it can happen anywhere....... The thing about Thailand though is how quickly men become financially embroiled with the ladies, I have not seen this phenomenon anywhere else.....on top of that Thai law can be opaque when it comes to ownership issues, especially in connection with houses/ Another Thaivisa member put it well yesterday, ( apologies I cant remember who ) when he said something along the lines of many men smirk with pleasure as they blatantly lie to the authorities about where the cash is coming from to buy the house, then run screaming for a lawyer when it all goes wrong and they lose everything. The member pointed out that Thai law is there to protect you. I wonder how many houses here have been bought without people lying from the get go? Not many I would suggest. If you cant own it legally, then dont buy it, dont lie to the authorities, and dont leave yourself open to abuse. Easier said than done, there is some elixir in the water here that has people doing things that they would never dream of doing in their own country. I really hate to agree with you, but in this instance, I must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludditeman Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Oh dear !! another true guru of knowing everything about Thailand. Not a guru on Thailand by any stretch but I know about women and, unlike much of the Thaivisa demographic, I didn't rock up here looking for pussy. I didn't 'rock up here looking for pussy', but it found me anyway, and I have enjoyed it enormously. @OP I have been scrubbed squeaky clean by a few Thai ladies, always a lot of fun.

Spaniel Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yes, there are also farangs involved that help administer the paperwork such as VA (Veterans Administration) and SS (Social Security) benefits to be given to the Thai wives possibly for a cut. These same people also seem to be a little more biased on the side of the thai wife than they should be. Foregoing any acknowledgement of existing family members outside of thailand. - and acquiring the ongoing benefits of VA and SS for the thai wife after the husband is deceased by utilizing power of attorney or by declaring them mentally unfit. When an old farang is in hospital thats when they go in for the attack, usually when in ICU, doped up and incoherant. A usual trick is to keep them medicated and under their control and to make them feel dependent. Neglect is then administered to further accelerate the demise of senior citizens who are bound to a wheelchair. This is when the farangs mentioned above usually step in and suggest a will is drawn up and explains the benefits that are up for grabs after death and are usually the ones who draw up the will in perfect english and coincidentally appoint themselves as 'primary' executor of the will. Even after 10 years of marriage it is not uncommon for the wife to change perspective and to expedite the demise of her cash cow. This timing usually coincides with the wife going through menopause ensuring further psychotic activity. My advice is to make a will before you are put in a situation requiring ICU and heavy medication, but not while you are in your peak of whoremongering. Have atleast 3 executors of the will in the event executor 1 doesn't follow through, and never appoint anyone that is affiliated with an organization that will disperse your benefits. This is Thailand, no one 20 years younger is going to marry you for your looks or charm, its all about the benjamins, wake up or turn over in your grave. Just a point of interest, for a Thai wife to be elgible to collect USA social security benifits she must have resided in the USA for I think 5 years. That excludes most Thai wives, including my own, and we have been married over 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, but I have this image of people who share your creepy attitude strutting around their imaginary fiefdoms drooling and sporting 1980s Benny Hill-like grins on their faces utterly convinced that no one's as big a hit with the heifers as they are.

Worst end result I heard so far was the guy who saw his 4x4 tyres up close.......too close. There was this guy that got murdered by his wife, chopped up and fed to tigers....all for his money. There was this guy....a turkey farmer....he had all his possessions sold from under him by his loving wife. There was this guy....an english country farmer....he was killed also for all his worth. There was a guy...english again, married a girl and divorced after 12 months, she now screwing him for all she can get. There was a guy....took his wife to australia, went to work in a brothel making sandwiches and more cash than him, he turned to whiskey, she bled him dry, he drank himself to death.
