Never believe Thai history. They make it up as they go along.
Never believe Thai history. They make it up as they go along.
This is the exact reason why I would never ever build a house on the teraks land in Thailand.
White boy has just lost all the Power in the relationship once he spends his hard earned on the House.
The terak can fuck him off down the road whenever she decides its time for him to go, the white boy is in a precarious position at this point.
Always trying to keep the terak happy for fear of being arsed out.
A massive fuk that for joke.
But Ive got a usufruct.
^Some guys put their faith (and life savings) in the the good nature of Thai women. (more fool them ey?)...
Doesn't mean I think they should be penalized for their naivety. I guess it's not just
Thai women that will milk the vulnerable (as you blokes with ex Farang wives can attest)
Thais view weakness as stupidity. That's why they think we are stupid when we get
ripped off by them. It's all fair game in their eyes, if they can use their charms and sexuality to extract your money, they reckon it's fair play.
To my mind, I endeavor to build my own savings/business using my own mind (feeble as it may be) I'd rather be poor than steal from anyone.

Being fleeced by a woman is not just a Thai thing. Many on this site were taken advantage of in previous marriages or relationships. Sad to say, I am one of those poor soles. To have a female take away everything a man has is a natural danger of the world. Each country has it subtle differences and techniques, but the outcome is the same.
Knowing these techniques in any country you may call home will dramatically reduce the odds of one falling victim to abuse, both financial and emotional.
Koojo,
Your problem is that you read a post and you then think you know everything about that poster or the posters motives.
Relax mate, don't think to hard , your small brain hurts you too much.
Look Koojo, Just to make things a tad easier for you and save you the angst I'll clear up the Issue for you.
Yes, its true I've never married and never will more than likely, its not my go, simply never wanted to and find it quite silly really. Plenty of others out there who marry but not for me.
Fair enough that innit. My life my choices.
I've been in a few long term relationships, a few shorter ones, shared houses with women and had some blinding times but all things come to an end and we parted amicably.
Normal sort of shit except I did not lose most of my assets like many other dumb conts.
Because I picked my women well they all had good jobs, their own Superannuation and life.
When the time come to part we just split all our shit strait down the middle and rode off into the sunset.
Had to sell houses mind you but that was no problem as the houses were half theirs and we both made money. Some real good money in some cases.
So the fear of being fuked over by a woman has never entered into my mind, I have never placed my self in the situation for this to happen and never will.
I reckon you are one of those sad conts who are in the situation where you will lose shit loads when your bint bolts.
At the end of the day your marriage is only a peace of paper. Ask all the fukers who are divorced.
Silly cont koojo, now get back to Tefling. Sounds like to me you will need that extra money to pay off the Mrs.
There is only three way's to approach the situation of setting up house with a Thai woman, any person with half a brain will realize it.
One either buys a Condo in his name and lets her move in if he wants.
In this case what ever happens its his Condo and she is out on her arse if it goes tits up.
The other way is, you put your hard earned into a house on her land which in the case of a relationship breakdown its all hers. Usufruct, my arse.
The other way is. just friggin rent a house and not worry about shit.
You my friend have it dialed in because you have invested what you can afford to lose and you accept the rules of the game.
I wish you all the best with your house, its friggin brilliant.
Cheers.
That's a pile of shit that quote, the guy who penned that crap is a tool.
Bad consequences are the result of poor or emotional decision making, if one takes the correct path and makes good choices there are no bad consequences.
A little example might be when the emotional fool marries a bar girl and buys her a house up in shitsville against the guy who chooses a woman who is his equal and lets her move into his condo.
But only part time.
I thought you had accepted Marmite and my apology graciously and you wasn't gonna mention it againOriginally Posted by peterpan
Why do people assume every quote uttered is deep and meaningful and not just utter tripe?
I agree with Terry here, what crap. You can't choose the consequences but you should, if you're not a complete fuckwit, generally be able to anticipate them.
I always say the (Mainland) Chinese are hopeless at seeing into the future, that is, anticipate the results of an action or decision beyond the immediate.
Bloody annoying and frustrating that is. Same as they can't walk or ride a bike without meandering all over the footpath or road.
I realize I'm generalizing here, but as is usually the case when I generalize, I don't care.
Done my bit Tel ,, I,m in EnglandOriginally Posted by terry57
Unfortunately people genuinely believe it'll never happen to them. And even when it does they live in denial. I've first hand experience in this when I've told others that their teelak has been messing with a Thai guy, or goes back to Pattaya, whilst they're away. The teelak will just deny it and the farang desperately want to believe her, over me, so does.Originally Posted by Koojo
I've now given up on being an informer but it doesn't matter anyway, as the locals now avoid letting their boyfriends near me. As someone wrote on here:- There is a saying in Thai that captures it well: "farang roo mark mai dee" - foreigners who know too much are no good.
Seems a bit wiser than Mr. Covey.Originally Posted by BaitongBoy
^^^Choppers - Never invest what you can't afford to lose is a good adage as you mentioned earlier.
Life is never perfect.
Sometimes the timing is just poor - ie: financial markets , investments, health issues, family...sh*t happens...sometimes for reason.
Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes learning the lesson a second time isn't so bad...if one can truly afford it ;-))
Question for Terry: who are you going to put in your Last Will & Testament...nieces and nephews, ASPCA ?
Doesn't have to be that way. As our mate NZ says, it appears the lady holds the cards, but you can turn that around.Originally Posted by terry57
She owns 100% land and house. No worries. We built on land given to us from her parents, so her parents could live in a better house basically. This is an obligation of the Mrs I understood before getting into things and we started building as soon as our first kid was born. The land they were giving us, I said keep in mothers name and get finance for the house, I'll pay the deposit and repayments. This way if they try fuk me they could lose everything to the bank. Recently paid it off and transferred to kids name.
She owns the car 100%. No worries. We financed that too, in her name. This was early in the relationship, but it only cost the downpayment and monthly repayments. If anything happened to the relationship she'd have to sell the car or pay it off herself. Its paid off now anyway.
She owns 100% of the business. No worries. I am the only line of communication between her and the customers in Oz. Without me, there is no business.
Might sound a bit harsh I really do love my Mrs and all, but was very cautious early on. After 6 years I'm, pretty comfortable with it and unquestionably trustful these days. Either my Mrs is on the square, or she's a very very good player, playing a long long game. In that case I'd just say well played, touche, respect....
They do, as well as generosity, some times. 'jai dee mak' is code word 'stupid fish' and 'keeow' is code for 'sharp fella'.Originally Posted by NZdick1983
I was worried being a nazi and protecting myself in this relationship could cause friction, but I think it mad the Mrs respect me a bit more. In any case we have a good understanding. Symbiotic, it is. Without the other, we are both fukd.
As for thuggery .... shit got nothing to say about that.
Nice reply 9999. For me its nine years and 3 kids later and I still look over my shoulder. In someways I shouldn't, but it's now become routine. Can anyone switch off?Originally Posted by 9999
Falang victims of Thai buggery...
Seems to me rather than peoples Thai wives/girlfriends screwing them over, I'm reading about a bunch of tight fisted evil farang cvnts who would like to screw over and see their Thai partner end up with nothing in the event of a break up.
You only hear about the horror stories because they are 'news', you don't hear about the tens of thousands of foreigners married to Thais living in Thailand or abroad who are happy in normal relationships as it isn't 'news'.
Good question that one.
I used to change it every 12 months depending on how I felt at the time, add more money to some, take some away from others or just delete them if I felt like they deserved nothing.
It was free to do that but now its $ 300 to alter a will so I aint changed it in 4 years.
So my lady cousin in Perth gets a nice big wedge, my lady friend in Victoria get's a wedge, my lady friend in South Africa gets a wedge, the dogs home gets a wedge the cancer council gets a wedge and a mate of mine gets a wedge.
Nieces and nephews will clean up when my cousin kicks off, that's if I don't just tear the Will up in the mean time which I may just do. Quite capable of anything these days.
In the event I was run over by a truck and killed the above is most probably how it would play out but in the event I was dying of cancer or some other issue I would be dispersing 100 K wedges to some people I know over here plus giving a shit load to Thai charities.
I think the longer I stay here the more likely It will be that I will be sending cash advances this way. I want my money to go to people who will use it in a responsible manner.
My cousin in Perth is well worthy of a good wedge, she will party like fuk with it and blow the rest on traveling. She has my full respect.
What about you , have any coin to unload ?
