A fool and his money are soon parted. Never trust anyone with large amounts. Thai or otherwise.

[Pinetree]

How unusual, never heard of this before, must be a 'one off'. 

[HolyCowCm]

Was on the Thai news tonight and she is pretty hot. If I wasn’t married maybe I should toss 5 million at her too. Heard ten million is the charm.

I have zero sympathy for guys who give money to Thai girls after knowing them for such a short period of time

Indeed, it's common knowledge in this social media age about farangs getting scammed, so hard to find sympathy for the ones that fall for it.  Short period or long period, no reason to be giving anyone your hard earned life's money, just stupid of these guys.

Let me guess, the farang will now start a Go Fund Me page haha

You don't even need any knowledge but your own sense

 

So many guys give Thai girls money when they would never do the same in their own country

 

They think its only 1-2 million baht

That is still a lot of money!

 

200k baht is a lot of money!!

[Grauwulf]

Why anyone would sell up and give money to a woman when they do t even live here astounds me. All kinds of stupid here. Think with your head not your other head! Unfortunately all too common zero sympathy.

My wife's aunt(the devil )

Got married to a Swiss guy 30 years older than her when she was in her 20's

 

For the next 15 years or so he bought rais and rais of land

Built a 4million baht house in village 

Bought a 3mil baht condo in Hua Hin

Cars and trucks

The whole package 

 

She never moved to Switzerland 

He'd come to Thailand on his holidays 

He's approaching 70 now and time to retire to his house in the village

 

Nope.....she divorced him as soon as she actually needed to live with him.   

[Redneck12345]

He's either not normal or he's cheating. Otherwise, I don't understand how someone can sell their house and take out a bank loan and then send all the money to his girlfriend in another country expecting her to wait for him with the money. Surely he must have serious mental problems and/or cheat.

Easy enough for Peter to prove how much money he sent.  Bank transfers are recorded.

Right now it's a case of he said/she said and as Peter has removed the social media account from which he told his "tale of woe", I'd lay money on the woman telling the truth.

[Donald]

Well, I don't think this guy will get a lot of sympathy . We don't know the full story and what exactly was going on, but "entrusting" someone, Thai or any other nationality, with this sort of money is not just being gullible but criminally stupid . Especially involving his family in this matter was seriously wrong .

Time to prove where the funding came from and take her to court. If he can prove he funded it he should be able to recover 50% of some of it. What a witch.

Very strange indeed and one does not know the complete stories though we have seen them!!!
Thai against a foreigner and one outcome.

On a slightly different matter but still involving monies one hears a lot about loans but then state it was a gift and Thais and foreigners and yes also Thais to Thais and lying through their teeth and if they do give it to a third party in the extended families.

She's certainly a horrible person for many reasons

 

But I put the blame squarely on him for what happened 

In his mid 50's and married someone in their mid 20's

Doesn't bother having her live full time with him

 

So very little sympathy from me

 

And they did split quite a bit of the property

 

And she legitimately lost at least 10mil baht gambling 

 

 

We could have bought her huge 5mil baht house for 1.5-2mil and I said absolutely not

 

I don't care if it were free

I'm not living in her house, which she would likely consider it hers anyways 

[Nace]

Sounds like they deserve each other! Another foreigner thinking with the wrong head.
