Man robs bank in Pathum Thani, buys gold to win back angry wife

[Donk]

Thai women do not want a husband! They want an ATM machine that they can draw money out. I live in Thailand but the bad experience would never choose a Thai wife again! Now is the playboy life that comes on my terms! But no bar girls! Twice the fun and half as expensive!

Hmmm...perhaps I was just lucky but my thai wife sure enjoys marriage and having a husband.

I wish guys with your mentality would stick with bargirls rather than the general poulation--you are two sides of the same coin.

Many women with regular jobs want a lover instead of a husband!

If you're not cute you have to try hard to be cute (LOL)

Even though my girlfriend of 4 years can from time to time be jealous, compared to farang I know IRL here I feel lucky. I am not a walking ATM to her, I am young without a mass amount of money and we live quite a simple but happy life style. We get along and she can't speak English, sure we have arguments like any couple, but she is not like most Thai women I have come across in the sense she does not see a baht sign above my head. Some days I wake up and she has gone out and bought and made breakfast herself, she will come home from work (yes work and no not a bar) with food and stuff for me, good times.

Another "my Thai wife is not like everybody else"! I have red it thousand times on TV, and it's always from some young handsome guy who all the girls fall inn love with. Make no mistake, Thai women want foreigners with money so he can support her and her family, and of course her brother get more attention and money than the rest of the family. I wonder why?

I am a little confused by the article, could be because I have not been reading many national Thailand news articles?

It says he used a fake gun to rob the bank. Two guns on the table, I would say the one on the right looks like it could be the one he used, no clip pulled. But the other handgun appears real with slide back and clip pulled and what looks like a round in the clip, his back-up real weapon, (a photo of it is on the board)? Or a real weapon from an officer to demonstrate how real his fake looked?

If it is his real back-up weapon, it would have saved him time in prison to have sold it to buy his lady a gold neck-less. Not 300 thousand worth, but something fairly nice to show he cares while he looks for work.

Of course people committing crimes tend not to think too deeply about things like, robbing a bank in a town where you are known, what could possibly go wrong?

One more point, I am assuming he is cuffed in the front. It is remote, but some guys looking at big time prison can get desperate. Go for the gun and clip, as they dive under the table, could turn a press release into an, "OH S--T," fire-fight!!!

Keep on dreaming dude, having a Thai wife have nothing to do with being lucky and enjoying!

In reading these posts, it seems that Thai women are starting to get a bad reputation and it's not just me who's been unlucky. Jealousy seems to be deeply ingrained in Thai hamlet and there is a competition between the ladies about who has the richest farang and how much money they can pump out of him. But a man may have a very good life here as a free and single.

Donk, every farang I know here with a Thia wife/girlfriend goes out a couple times a month and has a one-nighter or atleast an afternoon fling. Well, except for one buddy and he has a medical condition that Viagra cannot help. From what I have read, promiscuity is quite common even amongst the Thai and holds true for men & women.

My wife used to be very jealous on occasion until she learned she can trust me. Once she realized that I am true to her, I have not seen her act jealous.

When you say "free", I am guessing you mean without encumbrances? I can't imagine your chosen "butterfly" sex life comes cheap on the wallet ;-)

I honestly have only ever once and I was very drunk and that was 3 years ago. My sex life is fine enough for me and I am not a cheat, I vowed one thing in life, not to be like my father and cheat. When I slipped up that one time it felt horrible after, but yea I am happy enough in all honesty. Like I said I am no ATM, no old dude with a pension or a mass amount of moolah, we rent a house and I will not buy property here, she knows that, I will not marry or have kids, she knows that. Like you said, you feel lucky so do I. However, why do you cheat and do you think your missus cheats on you? How would that make you feel?

Tom, it was poor writing on my part. I had said all the farangs I know cheat so the jealousy has some basis in fact. But my wife can trust me that I don't cheat. I am fairly confident she doesn't cheat either. Thats not where either of us our in our own lives or priorities.

It sounds like you are doing the right thing by being honest with her about the prospects of kids and marriage.

Thats all a guy can do.

Cheers

I think in our early relationship she did cheat once like I did, but for the the vast majority of it I trust her and the only reason she is jealous IMO is that she is 8 years older than me, oh and also she had a longer relationship with a Thai guy before me where she was cheated on twice. She used to check my facebook and crap like that but that has all stopped as like you said, once there is trust a relationship can blossom. If there is no trust then it is near enough doomed.

Anyway enough therapy sessions for one day me thinks kor hai khun chok dee

Bander, I am neither young nor handsome and based on the negative stories of many farang, I can atleast say my wife is not like their wives or girlfriends. But I don't think she is unique--I have found most Thai women in our circle of friends and extended family to be very dedicated wives and mothers.

You talk as if a woman wanting to provide for her parents is something contemptible. I happen to look at that as a positive character trait that a woman wants to provide for those she loves.

But I will try to offer you a headstart by giving you some insight it took me about 40 years to appreciate: Most women want guys with money or guys who can provide and that doesn't matter what country they are in.

You don't see beautiful women with poor guys anywhere, but you do see beautiful women with short, fat, balding guys who smell and who lack social charm IF those guys have money.

Anyway, now he will be sure to spend time behind bars and his wife won't even get to wear the gold necklace..

Let the buyer beware. Newbies take great note please. Not good luck, but good management ?

Even then the truth can take years to uncover the lies and deceit that even the family keep secret.

Donk. They “want” an ATM machine. Yup. I feel I’m another “Mister ATM” and she’s an “I want”.

Clutch Clark "with your mentality should stick with bargirls rather than the general population" . Surely inviting disaster? Many there just for village family income? Wouldn’t know personally.

Donk "competition between who has the richest farang and how much they can pump out of him." I cop it being compared to Aussie husbands all with Asian wives – about how much they give them.

Hoax "Sounds like you're looking down on Thai women?" For me- No. Just an observation and assessment of a high percentage of the disasters professionally declared.

Pacman "Thai's have no understanding of ...consequence! " I too didn’t realise the consequences. If only I listened to others first.

TOM420 Ultra super jealous. Thrown hissy fits through jealousy. Agree. Even the wildest unbelievable misguided guessing wreaks havoc for days and I’m squeaky clean faithful. Look up “morbid jealousy”

Eloelo "It drives them “nuts”! as they see their atm walking away. " (= Jai Rohn mak mak.)

TOM420 "She is ok 99% of the time, but have never seen so much jealousy." Hi Brother. That 1% is incredibly difficult. Stay passive, disengaged? Needs 2 for an argument, fewer bad words for her to eat afterwards and she sticks out as the only one being destructively silly?

Thesetat2013 "I guess this shows love for a person does not outweigh love of money in Thailand." Money mostly = security, god, status, etc etc. Maybe not all of them.

JesseFrank "Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder". No-- Great regrets maybe yes.

Coppernicussing. "Stupid men are easy to control." Guilty. Yes I had a weak moment.

But then I could be wrong.

Not sure how you managed to leap to that conclusion based on my post.

There are limits to how far I would go "for love" regardless of whether the woman is Asian or not.

Then it would have been more appropriate to say I won't do anything for the love of any woman, or something similar.

Cheers mate, but when she does get like that I am not arguing, I am silent, I go totally cold and shut up. I guess that makes you strive for more attention. I hate conflict so I just switch off. Going to google morbid jealousy now...

How sad what some men will do for a woman.

And how sad that we have all done something similar for the woman that loves us.

Thanks for the English lesson, but no it wouldn't have been more appropriate . . . I replied to Mango Bob's post and he referenced "Thai women" . . . hence the reply using "Thai women" as he referenced it. If he'd said "women" in general, then I would have replied back using the same reference.

If I'd known I'd need to qualify it for all you anally retentive types that can't read properly, I'd have qualified it with every race and nationality under the sun just to be sure you didn't misinterpret it. And even then I'm sure you'd still have found something to pick on.

So, to keep you happy, my revised comment is:

Another fine example That Many People in this Country has big problems to Assess consequences of a decision, and open there brain when it's to late!

Neurologists would make the diagnosis, it is a chemical messenger in the brain problem!

Absolutely not found anywhere else in the world. That's right. This is a Thai chemical messenger only folks.

In my case it seems a couple of them got out and infected me. Damned messengers!!

And they probably would have to cover for each others as well hehe

Moreover, you should not do anything for the love of a Thai woman because some activities will legally harm you.

You can do something, but not anything.

[Friendly Stranger]

I have been in the land of smiles for some years now and is it just me or in general are they ultra super jealous people when it comes to relationships? I find this often in my own partner (I refuse to marry and she is ok with that, also a few years older than me), but boy has she thrown some hissy fits in the past through jealousy. I want to know where this comes from, is it those stupid Thai dramas on channel 3, is it the Thai love songs that I cannot stand, what is it?

Just wait till they start throwing things and pulling knives! what drives them..insecurity and the fact they have a lot of competition and not much to offer except what every woman has...philandering or the thought of it drives them nuts! as they see there atm walking away

been there done that, although she is more the 'I am going to stab myself' person. She has gotten drunk and thrown things and smashed her own head into the floor, how is that going to look on me lol. She is ok 99% of the time though but sheesh, I have never seen so much jealousy in one nation.

Tom, were we dating the same person? My former specialized in the "knife to the wrist threat". I was worried as how it would look if she did that after I left the appt and the CCTV showing me walking away. Not too good on my part. It's definately insecurity, look at all of the infidelity that goes on.

Must be a case for true love
