My cousin met a Thai guy online. One thing led to another they became a couple. Soon after she flew over to Bangkok and decided to stay there with him. Sometimes when I occasionally heard from her she would mention domestic abuse. My family became worried but couldn't convince her to leave. A while ago we have lost complete contact with her. But from the infos we gathered the last time I spoke with her the Thai guy kept her inside his house and wouldn't let her leave. She wouldn't respond to emails, calls or anything at all.

 

We tried contacting the embassy in BKK but they didn't bother with us saying they couldn't help domestic issues. We called the local police but got nothing. The thai guy apparently had prepared for this and bribed the police beforehand. What should I do? I know where she's kept but they wouldn't open the door. I can't very well walk right in the house and take her out of there! 

Hey Hiro357, very sorry and appalled to read this. What is your nationality? The only way is to gather people from your country including consular staff and some local leaders, gherao the place and get her out of the house. Time to play the hero --are you physically and mentally fit for the fight? 

Maybe you have been watching to much tv.

Are you 100% sure she is being kept hostage?

There is the possibility she is happy with him, and wants you and others to leave her alone.

If she is of the age of consent there is nothing you can do.

What makes you doubt his version, pal? I wanted to mention the movie I recently watched but I didnt out of respect.

Please spare me the cynicism. I know it sounds odd but the country of Thailand is an odd place from what I heard. This is unfortunately all too real!

Ignore it, Hiro. Can you tell me her nationality? We Keralites from India are expert in these situations, maybe I can help you.

Frankly I've been trying to find help for her over the past months but failed. Domestic problems is tricky especially when you don't have any proof but the girl's verbal confirmation at this point. My cousin kept most things to herself. I tried to contact the boyfriend and his family several times. They told me I had the wrong number! And they denied any affiliation with her. I'm at my wits end. The people you mentioned wouldn't help unless they see something concrete or actually hear about it on the news.

I can gather Keralites spread across Thailand. You must call your cousin, record the calls using a recording app. Play the calls before the consular head and then see what happens. No hand-wringing, please

That's the problem. She won't answer to calls, emails or anything at all. They make it look like she's vanished. The consular was no help just like the Thai police. 

What if your cousin's boyfriend has lost his mind. He needs help as urgently as her. Why is your cousin not banging on the door, raising hell beats me.

Sir, which consulate? Can you not reveal? Are you from Japan?

If she is American which is very very very unlikely her boyfriend has had it. 

TROLL......Inconsistent statements by OP. "I know where she is kept but they wouldn't open the door" implies she's been to the house and knocked on the door!

Failure to give his/her nationality.......why the secret?

you say assuming the story is true, what would i do?

Nothing.

About 18 years ago at Bahn Krasang Buriram, a young girl left home to go live with a young man.

Her mother was not happy, went to the police, and told them a similar tale to this 1.

Abuse/ hostage nonsense, police told the mother your daughter is 18 she can live with whoever she likes, we can do nothing.

I agree! Hiro, man, you got to be forthcoming with the info otherwise you are only going to give rise to cynicism.

It's not convenient for me to say. But you could make a good guess from my name. I don't know what goes on in his house. But I know my cousin is being kept there for a long time. If it's not against her will, she would at least still answer her phone. Not to mention if they have nothing to hide, why would they deny knowing her?

It takes genius to think this fits that story. But I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Why the secret? Easy answer  A TROLL.

Hiro, how can anybody help you? Just say it. What would you say to your post being a troll - can you answer that?

I wouldn't enjoy being ridiculed by strangers online if it weren't true. Yes, I have asked the police to investigate but was told as long they wouldn't open the door, there's nothing they could do.

The OP is living in a fantasy world, bored nothing to do.

So he comes on here with this nonsense, seeking attention.  TROLL

Sorry but I believe this to be a Troll post.

 

CLOSED.
