jalansanitwong Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Ive always said the safest place in Thailand is Bangkok(been here since 1999) never had a problem. Foreigners who start fiddling around with Thai' co's, businesses and women in the provinces are just asking for it. Many of them drop off the grid without sign or word. This story is the exception because foreigners are kicking up a fuss. Cops couldnt care less. Another farang will disappear 'up country' before the day is out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LomSak27 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Well I think of washington State - although Whidbey Island man, is more exact. have no idea what the State Department can do on Thailand's turf. The State Department isn't exactly Seal Team 6. They can make it public, forcing the men in brown to at least go threw the motions. Publicity and potential face loss are about the only thing that will get some movement, what good that might be now is debatable. Otherwise its the usual, ignore it and maybe it will go away.

ozziebloke Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 "ongoing quest must be to assure that he isn't worth more dead than alive" That is a gem of wisdom... There are a lot of expats with their Thai wives aka opportunist employees. So few seem concerned about having their oatmeal poisoned etc when the guy is old and the wife would like the assets to herself. Or a greedy family member looking to help improve the families situation. Having a Will leaving them additional wealth after the house and car.. That's like putting an invisible bounty on your death. Heads up Agreed... Tell your loving Thai wife/girlfriend that every month you received a fixed sum of money every month from an account back in your home country. Then tell her if you died, the money will cease instantly. By this system you will live a long and happy life here...Hard to know with limited facts , but it looks like a unhappy girlfriend being cut off from the gravy train. From the Seattle newspaper Kirotv.com story. "His ex-girlfriend had been threatening him for a long time Sims said." Jeesus... Some people are just amazing. Why would you live with someone in a country where you have to take these measures to have a relationship? Treat your partner with love and respect and enjoy your life, work's for me. you're new here i see......... Just as new as yourself I see. For myself I have to agree with Wat dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybum Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Nick could be opening a can of worms with the gf being the majority shareholder in a company and his house. All of which is not quite right in the nominee stakes. She seems to have the upper hand unfortunately and could easily get the cops on side with a few baht or a promise.

The report button is at the bottom of every post!! Is this irony ??? It was deesamui's inflammatory post about Americans that got deleted.... Can he report himself ?? :-) Many men here live happy and wonderful lives with their Thai wives/girlfriends. Many men have turned over their assets to their Thai wives/girlfriends and have come to financial and personal grief over that action. So to me it just pays to be careful and be prepared for the worst that can happen. I just watched the torrent file documentary My Thai Bride , which showed just how wrong things can go. So have some common sense here to avoid trouble. And don't do anything here that you would not do back home. I can't think of a single person I know back in the states who bought a house for his girlfriend... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidstipek Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I would like to know more details and how he is involved in this, kitchen cabinet and woodworking factory? How does an American manage to acquire permission and permits to own such a factory in Thailand? Could he have used his Thai girlfriend of any of her associates as upfront names for the running and owning of businesses in Pattaya? What role does Harvey Sims, Springer’s business partner in Thailand have in this and what sort of business are they involved in? All I am trying to do is look for motives and what sort of people these business partners are involved with? Americans have the Treaty of Amity & Economic Relations to use in Thailand. This Treaty allows Americans to own and operate their own Company here in Thailand. Either as a Major Shareholder or Wholly owning this Company. Therefore engade in same Business on same basis as Thai National. Any more questions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidstipek Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Whose house is it? Does he have a lawyer in Pattaya? What part does she play in the business venture? Does he still have his bank cards on his person? Can you take him to the hospital for a test on the drug you mentioned? What are the police doing about the abduction of him? So many questions need answering but this thai lady seems very clever or as per usual just plain brazen in the face of the law Nick's house. Nick has a lawyer in Pattaya. Unknown but assumed to be a Thai nominee. Unknown. Initial doctor visit said 2 weeks for blood results and Nick wanted to seek better and faster care but has not been able to as of yet. Police are currently conducting "investigation". How does Nick own a house in Thailand ? Americans can own 100% of certain companies, but can not own a house like any other foreigner. Maybe by house he though condo... Using Treaty of Amity, An American Corporation can wholly own (in Corporation Name...) Property etc. House, Land... here in Thailand. Thus if owner of Corporation is American in in this case would be not ownly the owner of said Company... but anything wholley owned by sad Company.

Wrong !! http://www.siam-legal.com/Business-in-Thailand/US-Thai%20Amity.php While the Thailand Treaty of Amity provides the abovementioned advantages, the US citizen is also sublinejected to several restrictions stipulated in the treaty. The Thailand Treaty of Amity limits American investors to engage in the following reserved activities: Communications Transportation; Fiduciary functions Banking involving depository functions; Land Ownership, Exploitation of land or Other natural resources; and Domestic trade in indigenous agricultural products.

Nam Plah Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Nick is requesting that detailed information regarding the current legal proceedings and status of himself and his ex-gf remain private until a complete dissolution of his connection to her. The initial thrust of this PR attempt was to raise the alarm and cast light on the situation in order that it not go quietly unnoticed. Our belief is that we saved Nick's life through our quick and loud reporting of events as they occurred. I can state that: Nick returned home on Wednesday afternoon and had a list of important business matters to attend to, phone calls to make, emails to send, etc... But by early evening he said he felt so de-energized that he just wanted to sleep. He doesn't drink to excess nor consume drugs and he said that he had never felt like that before in his life. His last memory was of being stood up from his bed by his GF and her "uncle" and taken to her waiting car. The next 2 days are a blank. Upon returning to Pattaya yesterday he began to regain his senses and at some point snatched his (ex) GF mobile away and checked her sms list finding a generic mobile service provider alert stating "Welcome To Cambodia". Our belief is Nick was not taken on a scenic drive to photograph the lush jungle on the Thai/Cambodian border rather he was probably slated to never be seen again. However our vocal and timely intervention, breaking into his house to retrieve evidence, documents and ensure he, himself wasn't on the premises and thus summoning the police (via his gf's sister to report that we had broken in who also contacted the gf and alerted her to the situation) probably threw a monkey-wrench in her plans to secretly and silently make him disappear. The gf's story after changing several times then stated that Nick was with her, in fine health and didn't want to speak with anyone (including police) but that she and him would return the following morning. Myself and Harvey waited from 6am to around 8:30am for her to arrive at the time she indicated she would but she eventually showed up around 10-11am at which point Harvey was contacted and the events of yesterday unfolded. I would like to say that she has been charged and is in custody for the crime (drugging, kidnapping) but alas it is not the case.

itchybum Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If he remembers standing up with gf and uncle by the bed, does he remember having anything to drink prior to this at the house? A friend of mine was drugged and left for dead in a hotel for several days. He does not remember much after the drinks in a bar where he was drugged, yet the hotel has video of him entering the hotel walking on his own with a male and a female. His hotel was cleaned out, and safe opened, they convinced him to open his safe for them. He tested positive later for that drug rohypnol I think it was.

Nam Plah Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Now that Nick is found I see no point in continuing this public discourse.Especially in light of the fact that nothing productive can be gained through debating or dissecting what I have written.

Appears that a lot of weird stuff has been going down here and no, I have no interested or would never want to become involved. If this is a true story and only the names have been changed to protect maybe the not so innocent, then I strongly suggest that if your Nick wants to remain in good Nick, then he would be wise to return back to the States, as it appears there are people involved here who are into things that are way above they`re heads. And especially in Pattaya, the city where many farangs have met with misfortunes and brutal ends. Who really knows what`s involved here? And who really want`s to know, is the question?

DekDaeng Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 This is just so common - only diff to another guys case is that he hasn't been kidnapped. Chanote was with lawyer - based on her previous behaviour. She went to police & reported chanote lost - took lost report to Lands dep & got new chanote. Sold house (contravening marriage laws - legally married) Case now before the beak, chance DOJ will recognised fraudulently obtained docs, then sold illegally. Guy will be w/o house, after losing another house (investment) and car to her. Congrats to Nam Plah & TV for prompt action re OP. Pls keep us posted.

I have no idea what you lot are involved in and personally, I don`t want to know, but whatever it is, it could conclude with someone getting murdered. If as you believe, there has been an attempt on this guy`s life and the said person is in serious danger and risk, than the obvious next move is to get out of Thailand until whatever is going on is resolved. You have been warned and how you continue your activities here is at your own risk and discretion. You have no idea, don't want to know and yet are offering an opinion and advice. Is your last sentence directed at me personally or at Nick for continuing to stay in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farangme Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I recall reading a story a few years back in the Pattaya press about a farang who took a lethal bullet to the head while riding his motorbike in Pattaya from the pinion rider on another motorbike, in broad daylight. Police surmised it may have been related to a land dispute he was having with an ex-gf. Ya think? Beware of conflicts in LOS.

Is your last sentence directed at me personally or at Nick for continuing to stay in Thailand? I am saying that I don`t want to know your business here in Thailand, but if lives are in danger, then go somewhere out of harms way, and if you are also involved with this, then my advice also pertains to you, especially considering you`re in Pattaya. And again I say; whatever you do here, you do at your own risk and discretion. You have to use your common sense. I would say the same to anyway in a similar situation, even if it was a close friend or member of my family. My son is a policeman here in Chiang Mai, I have lived here over 30 years and what I tell you is good advice, showing genuine concern for this guy`s safety because I know the score here. How else would you like me to explain this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Will be interesting to hear about the results of the toxicology. It's interesting he was seen to have motor skills in a video. He was apparently drugged for quite some hours. Then he needs to be hospitalized? Perhaps its was a cocktail of drugs with periodic doses. Doesn't just sound like GHB and some alcohol. Strange tale for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
