If he was murdered, it wasn't for a great deal of money which shows just how greedy some people can be !!! The police will never investigate this properly, they have concluded it was suicide and that will be the end of it.. RIP fella.. Your dead right regarding police....it makes it very easy for them to rule deaths like this as SUICIDE....mainly because they do not know how to investigate properly and thoroughly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDfella Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Oh gee, a really sad case. I know (and others here do too) how it feels to be deceived this way and we can offer all the advice 'in the world', as they say, but it's happened way back in history and it will again in the future. In Thailand, with foreigners having a reputation of being 'bank books', it has become an art. If you help them with funds then you are a target, if you don't help it's 'Farang miser' (Khee Niaow). Those few who have managed a good Thai marriage seem to be in the minority. My condolences to the man's family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the wife stood to lose half of what she had managed to get from him, approx 40k Gbp !! This is most probably where the problem lies: He wanted to recoup some of his investments. Rather than admit he had made a mistake, he wanted revenge. He wanted to show who was the boss and noone was going to cheat on him and get away with it. Regardless of the fact he married a woman half his age who had nothing in common with him culturally and an overwhelming need for cash. This stupid falang idea that he is entitled to half of the assets is rediculous. If you purchase your Thai wife a car and motorcycle in her name, its a gift. The titles of the vehicles are in her name, the money is gone. End of story. Same can be said for the money he gave to her family. No evidence that anyone forced this old fart to give his money away, he did it all by himslef and refused to take responsibility for his mistakes. Honestly, how many of you 65+ old Brits would buy a 20 year old something girl from your local strip club a car / motorcyle and expect undying love and loyalty? Answer: None.

Peterw42 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I used to enjoy these threads, watching the Thaivisa CSI in action, taking up were the police leave off. nowadays its getting more like woman's sewing circle/gossip group. Its a sensationalist tabloid story, devoid of facts, full of wild speculation, mystery quotes from "sources close to the victim", they can, and do, write anything to make up a story that sell newspapers. Then the wild embellishment, speculation, "a guy in a bar told me", its always murder never suicide, there is probably a life insurance policy, they all have thai husbands, etc. Bring in Interpol, CSI, the forensic accountants. If a guy comes here and spends all his money, his choice, what are the police supposed to investigate. The suicide rate for men in the UK is around 12 a day, 16 men per 100,000 every year. The suicide rate for brits in Thailand comes nowhere near that number. Are the 12 suicides a day in the UK always considered murder, are they investigated fully, CSI, forensic accountants etc. Many of them probably involve money, debt, divorce, gambling, depression etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both husband and wife are entitled to 50% of assets, whether those assets are vehicles, properties, land, white goods, paintings or whatever, makes no odds.. Are you implying that, every guy who gets divorced, has just made a mistake and should kiss his investments goodbye ? Or does it just apply to guys who marry Thai girls that are younger than them ??

Thai divorce law is very specific, all marital assets (acquired during marriage) are divide 50/50, its pretty straight forward, you keep what you had prior and split what was acquired during the marriage. Its barstool gossip that the thai woman keeps it all, it was a gift etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I for one can say I have seen it all personally through my eyes on an old marriage and through many o people when I used to be in the go out bar scene and actually knew foreign people. My marriage was no where near to close to showering her with big money, and she never had a boyfriend on the side during 98% of the relationship. But she did try to dig for money and was shut down which eventually led to her looking elsewhere for a better prospect. She lives in the USA now and hooked on to a lawyer. The girl did hurt my heart though. It Amazes me the guys who line up stupidly here from other countries without a clue who act like rich men who end up destitute poor broken boys. I can say idiots! Now that was 22 + years ago and my marriage now has lasted 19 yrs with kids. Don’t jump back into the same cauldron you just got scorched in. Plenty of non bar Thai chicks out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they go wrong, IMO, is the moment they agree to pay for big wedding, lots of drinks and food and sin sod, lavishing her and her family with money and gifts. It just confirms to the family/ bride that they have a sucker hooked. If she actually "loves" him, will marry for none of that. Doesn't always work though, as I didn't shell out to the family, told her they wouldn't get anything, and still ended up getting divorced. However, at the end, I did fear for my life, so it's not always just to get money. Sometimes, IMO, it's just anger/ hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most choose the barfirl life because they are uneducated, lazy and compared to many jobs in Thailand, they earn good money. Over many years, I’ve seen hundreds of gorgeous young Thai girls making my hotel bed and scrubbing toilets for 10 hours a day, 300 baht a day. Others, for example, iron clothes all day for less. Restaurant waitresses earn a pittance... They could earn more drinking/smoking/chatting in a bar all day, and doing the odd barfine, but they have morals and self-respect, and CHOOSE not to... I agree, and it's most likely the parents lifestyle that commands respect. However, young peasant girls who don't want to work in the rice fields all their life, see bar life as a glamorous alternative, and are willing to jump ship. On the other hand, I've found, on a ratio of about 50-1, that bar girls have been deserted by their husband/ boyfriend, and left with kids to support. While not forced into the trade, cleaning or ironing doesn't pay the bills, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovesundaysatspace Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I said it somewhere else already: Why do people still engage with hookers? You wouldn’t do it back home. Why do it here? Get a quality girl. Someone who owns her own car and condo; who has her own six figure salary; someone who can, without embarrassment or shame, be introduced to you friends and family, or taken to a company dinner; someone who has proper education; someone who lived abroad; someone who doesn’t mind paying her share of the bill; etc etc. Sure, someone like that can still screw. But how big is the risk compared to engaging with a prostitute, and how big is the chance that the relationship will work out well compared to a relationship with a hooker? Whatever happened to this poor fella, whether it was suicide or murder, I’m sure it would not have happened if he had engaged with a quality girl.

Fine if you're still working, getting a good salary and/or in your 40-50's. I would suggest you'd have a great chance of finding a single female in the age group, or even in her 30's. There are a number of considerations if you're retired, though. I won't list them all here, but it's pretty obvious that a nearing 70 year old with a meagre pension wouldn't easily find an independent quality girl with the above attributes, and who needed a father figure to be her husband. And that's why some of these guys choose hookers, or stay single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if; it doesn’t change what I said: Don’t engage with a hooker or other sorts of low lifes. Unless someone has dementia, he should still be able to get that even at the age of 70.

I’ve lived in the sticks, I know. But minimal wage jobs don’t allow thai girls to buy the latest phones, bikes, drink/party/smoke or feed a drug habit...I’d have the things I want if I robbed a bank and got away with it, but I choose not to, and make do with what my average salary affords me...Many Thais want it, and they want it now.
