kevvy Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I first came to LOS 8 years ago and made friends with my tour guide.After I went back to my country I kept in touch with him. I caught with him one year later and he invited me to a party which i went too.I met a lady who UI seemed to cet on with as she spoke English, well to cut a long story we ended up being together , i left for home promising that i would keep in touch which i did. I seen her 6 months later and stayed with her for 3 weeks and had a great time .We decided that we were good for each other as she treated me like a king ..WOW..After 1 month she told me she lost her job so I sent her $1000 each month as she had a home to look after . After 12 months she came here on a fiance visa and we had to marry within 9 months which we dome , everything was great for the first 12 months and then I got sick and had to be in hospital for 5 months . She would come and see me everyday , but the money was running out after 3 months as I was only getting sickness pension , so she got herself a job and then she would only see me 3 times a week . Then it got to only 2 times a week and each time she came in she was wearing new clothes and wearing makeup. When I got out I was in a wheelchair and could not work . She told me she wanted to go out with girl friends and when the time came she left as she said she had ro meet hem down the road . I followed her in my wheelchair and seen her get into a car with another man . You all know what happen next , after she got her permanent residence she left and got a unit for herself . So next was the divoce and she told me she would have done anything to get to Australia. Now ....After 6 years I went back to Thailand as I really love it then , I meet another lady who was great (not a bar girl) this time I told her I had no money becasuse of what happened to me , and she told me she would look after me if Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevvy Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I wanted to stay with her. I did and she looked after me as she was a manager with the ford motor company. This lasted for 6 months , she done everything for me , paid bills and feed me and took me everywhere. rthen I told her I have money in the bank and she got a little angry but understood , that was 4nearly 4 years ago and we are so happy and for once in my life I know what real love is , its not about money .Now we are going to build a vilage of 38 houses ... I am a lucky man now. does everyone feel they had a second chance sorry for the 2 posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GuestHouse Posted November 8, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2012 for once in my life I know what real love is , its not about money .Now we are going to build a vilage of 38 houses ... I am a lucky man now. I take it that you are not spending your money to build these houses?! - You wouldn't be that dumb would you? If you are, look in the mirror as you hand the money over and ask yourself - do you recognise that childlike smile, is it the same childlike smile you had on your face when you where signing cheques for your first Thai wife? Here's some advice. If you are disabled and unable to work, any spending serious amount of capital you have in the bank is very likely to be confusing what you want to believe is s second chance, for what is actually your last chance. Best of luck..... You are going to need it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiebebe Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 It's nice to read a positive story that you got a second chance but it was a bit misleading. All relationships inevitably have a financial aspect but your post made it sound like you were broke and your new partner was wealthy enough to care for you and build a village of houses for future financial security. You wrote that 'it's not about the money', well, if it's your money paying for everything then it most certainly is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJohnnyBKK Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Handbags and shoes. No matter the nationality, age, or socioeconomic background it's virtually universal to the female species: you can never have enough of them (even if your budget only allows cheap ones - the more the better). Well in my case they've left me for greener pastures long before they have discretionary income for such extravagances. When they show up for return visits (usually from overseas) they do tend to have nice accessories though. WRT the OP, I'm afraid that along with nearly everyone I know who arranges their partnerships on the basis of "true love" he's just setting himself up for a fall. But hey it's all learning experience isn't it, if it doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnnyBKK Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Can Farangs build houses for sale , I know you can't own the land , but can you build for sale on other peoples or have a company that does this ? A foreigner (not just farang) can indeed participate in a company in the real estate development business and share in the profits. The legal requirements are designed to ensure that this participation is on a minority basis only. The scam artists acting as lawyers and government officials in this arena will assure you that their arrangements will effectively work around the law's intention, but IMO 90% of the time the foreigner will end up the victim of deliberate fraud. For those already successful in this business on an international scale, it is quite possible that proper international lawyers could be find to give solid advice in this area, but doing so successfully won't IMO be possible on a scale lower than tens of millions of capital up front. Which monies would most likely be more profitably invested in less risky jurisdictions where the rule of law gets more than lip service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The question for me is why? I'm assuming 38 houses won't be cheap. Unless you can afford to walk away fro a loss like that, why would you bother? Wouldn't you be better off just putting your money into a term deposit in Oz?

BigJohnnyBKK Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Methinks it's too late for this fellow.
