Does Anyone Recognise This Law Office?

[tuky]

Like the title says, is this a real Law office?

Law and Business Office.

Phangmuang Ko Rd, Patong, Kathu, Phuket.?

I have received an email from them, it was sent at 1am and is very very poor quality.

Which makes me think it is a wind-up, a scare tactic.

If not, then they must be some kind of back yard operation?

oops, edited to say Thanks...

What did the email say?

Depends what the email mentions, otherwise we can't tell you if it was a wind-up or not.

It says I have to pay someone who apparently lives in Chon Buri 100k per month 'alimony' for the next 15 years.

I have never been to Phuket, but I do know the person in question.

I am not worried about it, but I just want to know if this mob realy exists or if it is just a piss take.

If they really exist (google offers no answers) then I will decide whether to ignore the letter or engage my own lawyer to counter.

I don't believe there is any need to worry, I mean look at the Thai legal system, Thaksin is on the run yet running the country, killer cops condemned to death are set free.

I think this person has just sent me a letter thinking I will sh1t myself, not knowing that I don't really care.

However, I would like to know if this mob really does exist.

Ok...This is interesting. I just called the number for the hell of it, late at night and all and I asked for the lawyer. Reaction? Owh is this khun Tuky kha?

I mean how the heck did they know that the only phone call would be me?

I was asked to call back in 30 minutes.

If you are not worried I will worry for you!!

What a strange situation.

I did live in Thailand for 6 years (on a 6 and 2 rotation) and I was a mod on TV for many years.

I thought I knew all about everything Thai.

Tonight suprised me.

I just spoke to my soon to be ex-wifes lawyer (I assume) and I am sure she came on to me. Could I be mistaken?

I know...it has to be a setup.

Didn't your ex get about 3 houses from you?

Now she wants more!

hehe yes mate, now it seems she is trying to sue me for 100k a month alimony, whatever that is. I think alimony is an american thing right?

Sometimes I think I should chase my rightful 50% of the houses, it would come out to several hundred thousand dollars, perhaps half a mill.

But it just doesn't feel right, there are kids involved and the houses are their nest egg.

So, even though I spoke to this woman, does anyone know if this is a real law firm?

I'll have a look later on today. I know the road but have you got a street number. It's a long long road.

If it is a drama please dont go out of your way. The whole thing will play out the way it will play out.

But thanks so much LivinginKata.

Took a while but I found it. New building, this office can't be open more than 3 or 4 months. Typical 4.5 m wide unit. Photo attached.

I was under the impression that Thailand did not had an alimony system except where this is voluntarily agreed between the partners.

Do you have children which are recognized by you ( your name on the birth certificate ) ?

Maybe the 100 K is supposed to be child support which would be way to much as normally only around 5-8 K is agreed on. ( what i know from some friends who pay this )

But i believe that the child support has to be done via court and is not standard like in some European country's.
