TwoDogz Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Countless people get scammed and conned in Thailand by Thais, be it real scams or simply not delivering what is agreed to on jobs of every description. I have had this happen countless times, having built 2 houses, bought and sold land, and other things, there is countless examples of this happening to various degrees. Today, I felt the warm glowing effects of content. We sold our farm with a river on it today, lovely spot and sad to sell, but surplus to our needs at this point in time. We sold it twice, a month ago to a Thai guy that got it for a low price, i did not want to sell but we decided to. A few weeks later we sold it again to a new buyer for significantly more and very close to our asking price. Today we transferred it to the new owner. Tomorrow we have to tell the first buyer and refund him his deposit. But stiff cheese to him. I feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJohnnyBKK Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Who are you getting revenge on, Thai's as a group? Sure that makes sense. I know if I reneged on my word, even a verbal contract I sure wouldn't be bragging about it, even anonymously. Reckon you've just sunk to the level of the subset of Thai's you think you're "revenging" yourself against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) so you'd take the better deal and keep mum about it? you did after all suggest a poster on another thread find a third party to offer his girlfreind 3-5k for sex. water always finds its own level Edited October 30, 2012 by tinfoilhat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So because someone cheated cheated you at some point it's okay for you to cheat others, and then brag about it, classy. I'm guessing you've been a cheater all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meom Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 How much time did the first party get after putting up the deposit. The OP is not really clear but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt assuming the first party did not get the required funds after paying a deposit.

edwinchester Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So you initially agreed a deal, took a deposit and then reneged on the agreement. You're lucky you are in Thailand because elsewhere you'd get an expensive lawsuit. But then again maybe the Thai guy is the type who takes getting screwed over very personally in which case it might be advisable to watch your back for a while.

aussiebebe Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I guess I'm just too dumb to comprehend how refunding someone's deposit constitutes having 'sold' them something. I would be impressed if you actually sold the same farm to two different people. Or kept the first buyer's deposit. Now that would be a scam.

Popular Post TommoPhysicist Posted October 30, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2012 If I may point out to all, the OP sold nothing as he never owned it in the first place. It was his significant other who owned the land .......... so another Thai on Thai scam story in reality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi41 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 What I think morally of the OP= . As our friend Transam would say, we have the right to expect better from farang. Legally I hope the Thai guy (first buyer) will take you to court for selling a piece of land, that you were not free to sell. Meaning that the second buyer could sue you as well, when the land gets frozen by the court. See that would be revenge!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all you like, but as the OP didn't own the land in the first place, being a foreigner, he can't be held accountable for who sold what to whom.

I'm not an absolutist about honesty - no honey of course that outfit doesn't make you look fat - but I do try, I like to think more than most.
