By telephoning the sister in law up and telling her truth I would not call that a (tough guy stance) More like Standing up for myself and not letting people take me for a muppet Especially from a ignorant thai sister in law or family member I have had it all in over 20 years of coming to Thailand And I learned a long time ago to let nothing slip with any thai ...they will take you for a fool And they will royally give it to you up the ass if you let them 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Before moving to Thailand for good the in-laws always looked after my stuff including a pickup and motorbike. Apart from running the engine now and again to keep the battery good they never ever took them outside the house. Maybe I'm lucky and if the opportunity happened to me I'd be very pee'd off. I went to the UK for three months during the 2011 floods, I left my car and motorbike and did not leave any instructions apart from starting them up occasionally, I did not even check the mileages. I have no reason to believe either of them were moved, and would not have bothered as long as there was no damage done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ExPratt Posted January 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2015 No you are not being unreasonable Mr sister in law begged my missus to lend her 200,000 which I did in the end , 4 years later ive got about 40,000 back Told my missus this year, or it'll be coming out of her money It riles me greatly how they don't take care of things if its not theirs 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ttthailand Posted January 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2015 That's 5,000 Km per month, 166 per day. Where were they going to put this kind of mileage on the car ? They really took advantage as far as I am concerned. Similar things have happened to me in the past. I basically just totally cut them out of my life, same dead ! They never again got so much as a bowl of rice from my house. No use in shouting or raising a fit as they don't care, if they did care they would not have done what they did. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family. But you can shut them out of your life. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call her out ....do not take this on the chin I have to agree. Thats 5,000 K per month the car was driven, pretty substantial. I would blow off the other item she borrowed, it's minor. However I would make an issue over the car. Having said that don't expect to be compensated and do expect to look like the bad guy. I understand about things being communal in Thailand etc but at a certain point your being played and have to intervene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrya Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Mind that family enjoys priority over farangs even if the farang is a husband. not in every case In most of the cases. how the hell do you know that? how the hell do you know it is not true?

colinneil Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 You have anything in Thailand not bolted down its gone. Family thinks its there for family use/take. Since my accident the things that has gone missing is unbelievable. Where is my hosepipe/small truck/large mixing tub/drill/spanners. Papa take says the wife tell him bring back. What a joke nothing has come back, cannot upset papa, no but can upset me!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call her out ....do not take this on the chin and how would you enforce your tough guy stance?? Just use her car for a good few months for every single tiny little journey, caning it wherever possible and generally treating it just like they probably did to his. They will be fine about it - it's called 'karma'. Or shout and scream at her in the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about how I explained ...by telling her to her face that she has taken the piss And demanding financial recourse ....not hard in my world Getting a thai to pay is another thing but I would not have gave a thai a chance to turn me over All ears ....more like all lip ...

monkeycountry Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 25.000 km in 5 months means the car has been used for business, and you should therefore get part of the profit, or at least rent. You never will of course, but you can use that as an argument when you tell your wife, which you should, that her sister is very disrespectful and cannot borrow anything else in the future.

dao16 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 In my experience, anything that is around and not perceived as being in use currently is fair game here. This doesn't just relate to foreigners. On the flipside, I have had Thais offer up insane things for me to use or just take, even though I said no. Everything is pretty much communal. If you don't want it being used, lock it up. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is it any wonder why the sh!te happens mostly to farangs in Thailand???? It was not nice what the OP's sister in law did, taking her full entitlement, but start with the wife who had a hand in it by allowing it all to happen. She had as much to do with it.

In Search of Space Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sorry been off grid for a bit, not good for an OP, apology WS. Also alot of good stuff & advice. Ok, wife & sister often argue & don't speak until sister wants something, so wife not bothered if I lose my rag with sister. Once again, she lived in Switzerland for 20 years, so as far as I am concerned she understands ferang land. So, jet wash returned, money for service paid & key to house returned & I have banned sister from house. This will be until she wants something again ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
