A no-brainer maybe.




(awaits inevitable sour, seething, dribbling response from one particular poster)

Seething? You really do flatter yourself regarding the impact you have. Goes with being a dj I guess.

Most of the evidence exposing Briar has been taken down, either from guilt or out of respect. Here is a excerpt of him prompting the Mrs to say her lines, he mutters 'say it', then she come out with 'cos he's so expensive', referring to the little lad. It seemed to work as he was pulling in about $700 a month from his vlogging.

I think with the whole funeral thing going on, with farang there as well, that's it's a bit far-fetched to think it's a fake funeral for a runnaway scammer.
I'd say he died.
What Pie needs to be told is that any money coming in to her BF's account will go to the legal wife in Phuket.

Yes he's brown bread alright, 40 years of smoking mainly. Instead of setting up a paypal account for Pie, or giving her details for bank transfer or western union for people wishing to help they did something very stupid. Brair's mate Crookson (unfortunate name) decided if anyone wanted to send money to her to send it to his paypal account and he would pass it on, idiotic I thought but I guess many did. Crookson claimed the inflated quoted cost of treatment was due to Briar being charged a 'falang price' that was just not true. She looks to have perked up anyway, although the actual ceremony is always a strain walking round the crem 4 times with the deceased's picture.

Yes she does, but to be fair, that's Thainess for you. And I say that with no hint of sarcasm. It's just as it is. I wouldn't expect her (or any other widow, Thai or not) to still be bawling her eyes out.

Well yes, that's true.

Even after the tsunami people carried on with their business.

I bet she's not too tired to collect the envelopes.

The internet at its finest.

I am amazed how many Vloggers there are talking about Thailand and they some how get hits and make money talking utter dribble. I watched a few from links my buddy's would send from the US asking me if what the guy said was true. Most of what was stated was utter crap. To me, they come across like old men's personal diaries .

I saw this thread on TVF and thought the guy was just another scammer that washed up here. I say it should be like a Viking funeral where they will go to Valhalla and they burn him open on a stand and in this case they can put shiny new 1/2 Satangs over his eyes and light him up.

Well carry on. Another one just landed at Swampypoo to take his place.

All a bit of an invented Farang/Thai Vlogger Gossipy Lakorn sideshow.
The usual BS, scammers, critiques, and conspiratorial notes.
Not my "community" to be fascinated with.

Who gives a fuck, actually.

@cyrille

It's not who you mentioned

If you do it don't use your real name and don't appear in the video is my advice, they all seem to appear in the vlogs but you don't have to and it sounds like you have attracted enough trouble in life already!

Do iT Simon.
Especially the charity aspect, but fair enough to take out your expenses too.

Good idea. If you show your face some troll will find a way to criticise, and it ain't necessary anyway

Who's the guy from Manchester who does the selfie video blog? Forgtten his name and can't be arsed to look it up. Often mildy funny, common/chavvy as hell. Wears a wifebeater.

Would he make a good income from that?

Worth a 100 baht Patreon subscription? (In truth, I want to do this to generate some $ to do my charity work - I don't need new teeth, don't need a new motorbike, don't need a new camera, don't have any wife to support, DO have an enjoyable job that pays OK, AND I have comprehensive private medical insurance, unlike Graham)

Leave out the bit about the Thai tourist police. Everyone will think you're an arse.

Geoff Carter?

Yeah that's him

...but fair enough to take out your expenses too.

Not interested in that part... My admin costs to do my charity stuff are fairly low, bought a colour printer, A3 laminator to make my own posters etc, buy used but good laptops in Pantip Plaza for 4,000 baht each, install my educational software and donate them to the orphanages, bla bla bla.

Back on-topic, does anyone really believe Graham is still alive and done a flit? For me, I guess the Thai doctors did a bad op after hearing about him slagging off the Thais. Or maybe 30 years+ of smoking screwed up his body too much.

RIP to the guy.. very sad indeed.

Condolences to his wife and son.

Some of you lads are too cynical and callous 'jai rai, jing jing'... disappointed in some of your comments.

His wife, seemed very sincere to me - and lovely son.

Come one guys, it won't kill ya, to have a little bit of sympathy for him and his family.

He died broken hearted but very dead to be sure.

agreed.

Spot on.

He was just another low rent thieving scam artist.

His devoted "pals" will all be trying it on with the grieving widder woman by now , i mean its been at least 48 hours since he died.
