"I want my money back!" - Malaysian drives to Khon Kaen to complain Thai ex shafted him

KHON KAEN: -- A Malaysian businessman has made a 2,500 kilometer road trip to Khon Kaen to report his ex Thai wife to cops.

 

He says she shafted him for 3 million baht in a sugar cane deal.

 

R Indra Awaludin, 50, went to police in his ex wife's hometown of Si Chompu district yesterday.

 

He showed them bank transfers to his father in law totaling three million baht. Now he wants his money back after the couple split up, reports Sanook.

 

Taking the complaint Phanpetch Laokamnertpetch said that the alleged victim is a hotel owner on an island in Malaysia. He met his Thai wife in Hat Yai, Songkhla eleven years ago and they went to live in Malaysia.

 

At the start of last year she suggested a deal to grow sugar cane. But by year's end she was suggesting they split up.

 

Evidence showed that the money has been transferred to his ex's father's Bangkok Bank account.

 

Police took the complaint and promised to pass it on.

Something that never happens back home....  who knows how much money she was entitled too given that he has a business and that 50% of the money increase during the marriage should be divided 50/50 but this guy has his money in Malaysia.. so maybe this was the only way to get a bit. 

 

Could just be a money grab too.. but often 2 sides to a story. I was married 9 years with a really good Thai woman... when the divorce came she only wanted the money back what she put in it.. i kept the house the car all... They are not all the same quite a lot of good ones too. But it depends on who you select. If your 60 and take a woman half your age.. its more likely she is after your money then when your both 20-30 when you meet. Just my opinion of what I have seen. I came here when I was just 30 and hang around with people my age who went with woman their age (just a minor difference in age) and saw few problems. I even saw a girl take care her English BF.

I didn't particularly mean Thai women.6 months ago I paid the ex in the uk over 3 mil and she's still on my case.also there will be 2 sides to this story.hes got the hotel in Malaysia and probably a healthy bank account as he can afford to throw millions of baht at farming that we all know don't pay.i would like to of seen what car he was driving.

Another empty ATM on the scrap heap !

[smedly]

reminds me of a similar story about a British guy that thought he had invested in a Pig farm involving  his wifes family, he worked on the farm for over a year shoveling pig manure day after day thinking it was his farm......then he found out the truth when he got the boot

[BernieOnTour]

Even assuming, he won't be successful with his request...

( ... maybe, he is paying in the end more for the bodyguards, than he might get back)

 

IMO, we should applaude this Malaysian guy for having the guts to pursue his case !

 

[aussieinthailand]

Why is there no protection for those that bring in the money and are clearly riped off?

The problem is often just getting a 50/50 outcome is near on impossible in the LOS, and that hurts Thailand's immage so why not fix it?

There is, it's called due diligence with a touch of foresight thrown in.

Yu'p done that, but divorce is not the only time and not in my situation when the chance of getting a fair result is next to zreo.

I seen this report on television, that policeman speaking to the Malaysian guy is so sexy.

[oxo1947]

Just over 800 baht a day--he had a (probably knock out looking woman) --who worked for him and cleaned house cooked  & all the rest, for just $us23 a day...Yes give the man his money back he's been robbed.......Those Thai's....dead sneaky........

[steven100]

It truly amazes me ....

 

You think if a woman rips you off in Australia or UK or Russia or anywhere  .... you can go and complain and you'll get it back ??

 

Oh sorry ,  so many farangs got taken in Thailand theres gotta be something wrong. 

 

People need to grow up and use a bit of common sense, and take responsibility for their decisions.

[little mary sunshine]

So what happened to the 50-50 split of

funds if the marriage ends....

[Naroge]

I don't really understand what he expect the Thai police to do. It seems that all actions happened in Malaysia. The "deal" was made in Malaysia and he transferred the money from Malaysia. And if they were married in Malaysia, it would be Malaysia law that determines how to split assets/liabilities.

 

Will be very interesting to follow this one, if there ever is a follow up.

[pumpuy]

Do not marry ... thats the best protection against being ripped -off by your wife
