Abuse of old British expat / urgent help

[RWA]

what are the names of the previous deceased husbands?

not a husbands at these times!!!

only two, elder boyfriends, she invited into her house to look after.

One was a Norwegian and the other one a Swede.

Both passed away of heart attack in her house, prior to her recent marriage.

Haven't found their names yet (She and people in village called them only "pappa" and "lung" (uncle)...)

Will post it here the minute I'll find out.

thank you

I assume he has to attend immigration the same as the rest of us, why not intercept him/her there? Or devise a trap as she is greedy. Send a legal letter saying a relative in the UK has died leaving him over one million but he needs to go to Bangkok to sign the papers for it, they cannot be sent etc, greedy cow might fall for something like that

OP says it's a lawyer handling the 90 day reports as he's bedridden.

If OP can provide names of the 2 expats that died at the house, it's probably worth taking it to the British embassy.

I do hope it's a troll/bunny boiler post - sadly poisoning wealthy old folk is a common fear amongst Thai families too.

If he is ex military I would contact British Legion here in Thailand, they have welfare dept. and possibly squirrel him away back 'ome

Have been provided with this priceless advise here already (by evadgib in the earlier responses)

I have contacted them already and passed full passport details of their British fellow veteran, to them already.

I am awaiting their response to get going immediately.

Thanks to this eva ingenious advise, I am now hundred percent certain, the help is on the way, mission will be not only possible but swift and successful.

Thanks to eva and this organization, along with my (British abused) friend's passed history track (quite remarkable, as we speak, ... his rank and honors), I realized, there has never been a better chance to rescue him.

It just kicked me in the head now, that we are, luckily though, under a military government, that completely overrules any (well bribed or family related ) local police force....!!!! I am in NO doubt, that these fellows from the Royal British Legion in Chonburi, will be willing to help me to locate an army compliance office somewhere in Sakorn Nakorn and it is their duty to assist in emergency, if the official compliant has been lodged. They can go ahead and investigate, gain entry to the house, bring independent medical help in, take him to the hospital for blood and fluids analyzes, put him under medical supervision until his system cleared of any drug substances, etc., help him to secure his personal documents from her house and let him to make a police report, get a divorce, whatever he may want to do after he's safe and free again.

so, this the plan anyway ...

Thank you all who's been honestly concerned and supportive!

It is mightily appreciated!!!

wish me a luck please ...

Good luck, I think you and he will be needing it.

jacky and whiterussian,

yes, his wife attorney who posses his Power-of-Attorney as well, is handling his visa in Sakorn Nakorn on his behalf. A Ninety days visa, flanked by a medical statement that he cannot leave the house.

His Thai wife knows all too well, there is NO living family member nor any of his old friends back in England, or elsewhere.

The other two elder men who passed away whilst under her care, haven't been British, nor her husbands. (she has all angles well covered)

There is, indeed, a clear paper trial of her all actions and can be brought onto the daylight, or under a later legal scrutiny (if her husband may wish to do so) however, the main priority here is now to get him to the safety (better like yesterday), have him to recover first

thank you

Heck YES!!! and a massive slice of it damned Luck ...

Thank you Jacky, ... your kind words are being encouraging, highly appreciated

Surely that is something that could go into a police report.

If you get the military aid people involved and can file a police report with that bit of information it would at least provide a record if the worst happens.

Definitely get on to his relatives in the UK.

A complaint to the UK foreign office may also be in order and might result in the Embassy being given a bit of a shove.

Thank you, however, like I mentioned above (lost in lengthy post) there is NO one relative of friend left alive back in England, or elsewhere !!! He is 89 years old, everybody around passed away long time ago already ...

Very sad , however there are many elderly UK gentlemen , in this situation,

They have burned their bridges . In the UK . family does not want them anymore .

I helped a elderly neighbour , and make contact with his two sons , who he had not seen for over 10 years ,

and they did not want to know , or support him financially , in his hour of need .

Truth is, not a lot can be done for them . they made their choices .

if all else fails, another more direct option would be to jump the fence and knock on the door when shes not home. its not a crime if he agrees to a visit. if he wants to leave evac him. if stopped he tells police hes leaving voluntarily.

another option stake out the house and follow them into town. approach and ask him to go with you. if the wife objects physically push her away. if police intervene he tells them hes leaving voluntarily.

if hes on the fence about leaving, drugged or not real lucid, you have problems. i would attempt to speak with him first before evac to ensure your own safety. you dont want a kidnapping rap. male sure the wife cant put words in his mouth when you confront them in town or in public.

possibly you can have a statement made out by a lawyer which he can sign. you can present this to police if stopped. the statement expresses his desire to leave.

you also want someone with you for the evac who can serve as a witness so its not two against one if the wife becomes abusive or overbearing and he starts agreeing with her.

Best plan, go down with a truck full of decent muscle. Not just thugs, but professionals.

Get in, try the peaceful way first.

Take the old fella far far away, to the nearest hospital, get him cleaned up mentally.

Then go back with the best legal team he can find and regain the situation.

I wish you well and hope the old fella makes it from this situation.

Not much use in Thailand, but just so folk know, in the UK there's the Office of the Public Guardian. Basically the state has an interest in seeing that you aren't fleeced so that you won't become an expense on the public purse when you're old. I was concerned about one old guy and phoned them up (the Scottish version). They were really good.

Thailand does has social workers, so talking to them would be step one.
