Being a single man in Thailand is nothing but wonderful. BUT, we all eventually get old. I have been married to my Thai wife for 23 years. I am now 79 years old and I simply need her for everyday living. I don't get around as well as I once did. Added; My wife considered herself an old maid at 35 years old. She was never married and had no children. She is more than 20 years younger than I am. I'm way too selfish to marry a woman who has children. My wife is also a hard worker. She is a farm girl and has a rice milling business. Her business does well and she stays very busy but still has time to take care of me.
I tell you my story, my ex gf thai moved with me, she basically was doing nothing all day 24 hours on her phone, sleeping 2-4 am and waking up at 12, so lazy watch series all day, with phone all time. And started asking me money as doing nothing. Eventually i kicked her out
The main reason we do these things is that back in the west either divorced or single you are relegated to the trash pile that no one wants and if they do take you on its usually to see what they can drain off you . We then go to LOS and are treated like a King and told 5 times a day how handsome you are and how much they love you plus usually the sex is on tap ... at least for the first 12 mths 5555. Its then the cracks start to appear with requests for bike for brother , house for mama/pupa , rubber plantation for family , and the list goes on ... just one big merry go-- round I was talking to a English female bar owner , yes she owned Triangle Bar and she said the prices the girls ask for are over the top and IF you do pay it shouldn't be more than 5,000baht a month !! at that time fellas were paying 20,000baht a month and higher !! In my mind your better off living on your own and doing short time ( better getting a short time room ) or a rub and tug at the soapies , never let them back to your room any more than 2 times or they then start to get accustomed to being there . There is nothing wrong with living on your own , the thing with LOS you can get anything you want anytime you want , also no need to waste money taking them out for breakfast , dinner ..... nothing wrong with eating on your own = cheaper JUST MY THOUGHTS
That’s what I meant. You said it better than I could. Men are the romantics. Men are in love, women are in business - Coach Greg Adams. Seems to be especially true in Thailand. I would say hookers do far more for much less than wives or girlfriends. I guess the catch is you aren’t her only man. But….unless you met her in high school, you’re not the first or the last. She is not yours, it’s just your turn.
@@stevend8785yes man without gf experience I don’t like the sx Also I really don’t comfortable with such high s td risk of hooters Sugar baby or long ter,m rental for a month is my limit .😅
I'm 58 retired and living the dream here in Phuket. Fortunately, I've been coming to Thailand for 10 years before living permanently so 100% up with the play on how things work, especially concerning the girls/bars/antics etc. Newsflash! They don't love you. They never will. They will empty your wallet, take your savings, and your heart, your sanity, and then shit you out. They are cold, calculating, and ruthless. NEVER get involved with a Thai bar girl.
Like your honest, relaxing style Greeny - watched a few of your blogs/videos whatever they’re called. We all make mistakes and have hearts that can be hurt. I like the fact you address that side of humanity and don’t go down the all Thais are after your money rant. Everything in life is a transaction and a Risk Assessment or we wouldn’t do anything!! Keep making the videos, Richard
A coworker retired moved to Thailand. He made his first big mistake. He let a Thailand lady move in. She kept asking for more money and money for her mother. He decided to end the relationship, but she wouldn’t leave. In Thailand, you cannot kick out a woman you’re having a relationship with. She has a right by law to stay. So this is what he did His last month of his lease, he moved to another apartment across town. He told management what was going, and his girlfriend could stay the last month of his lease. Let her know if she damages anything she has to pay. They said not a problem this happens all the time. Once she got back to the apartment, she blew up his phone. He told her you should’ve moved out when I asked you to. I’m not going to talk to you any more and he blocked her.
Cohabitation, commingling finances, marriage. I don’t know. I’m 54 now. I came here to live a minimalist lifestyle and just keep my life simple and as uncomplicated as I can. But to each their own. Whatever makes you happy.
Simple rule of thumb - if a lady does right by you during the relationship, you should do right by her if you decide to end the relationship. Lastly, always take the high road. Most relationships don't end well, but take the high road when it does end.
Hi Greeny I agree with you 💯 percent, on two issues. Be a gentleman even when you break up with her, take care of her and make sure she gets back on her feet. And definitely buy the problems off
Take care of her for how long after the break up? Case 1) What if she already had her job Case 2) lets say she never had a job , she was with her thai husband then after divorce she started living with u , she is 40 now. How she will get back on her feet I agree with u what u r saying but how to solve her problems & how big of a burden that gonna be on us thats the question! If think very generously then it will be , she lived with u 35 to 40 So now u pay alimony for rest of her life, also she got 2 kid with thai man who don’t provide child support, so that expense should also be included I know its child support but as a gentleman we should help Unfortunately we don’t have unlimited money 😢 & they have A lot of problems- liabilities (thats why they dates us ) What the solution? Middle ground?
@@Roy-kv6zr I see your point, but I was speaking in general. let share another specific situation, what if you broke up due to some malicious act on her behalf ! I don't think any man in this situation is obligated to helping her. But if the break up was peaceful with no hard feelings, then you must step up to the plate and be a gentleman.
@@Roy-kv6zrIn that situation, I think 5-10k for every month you’ve been together is about right but YMMV. As men, we are using some of their prime years and as a man, I have no problem paying for that.
Heya Greeny, nice video and I'm happy to see you still have the kitty! I guess I could say I had a unique opportunity to meet a great girl, I was introduced to her through a mutual friend, and we started dating a few months before I started staying with her in her condo she owns and runs a tour kiosk. I would caution people to wait awhile and make sure they are making the right decision before committing to a relationship here. I got lucky and can't be happier, I hope everyone could have the same outcome.
@GreenyTravels your videos and Honesty has been super helpful and generous. I'm thinking about ditching canada got to check things out in Thailand and Vietnam
Great information, It’s amazing how smart some of these Thai women can be!! Some Farangs seem to let their wrong head make too many decisions without thinking about potential consequences. I’ve only been retired here in Jomtien/Pattaya area for 4 months so far and the women here challenge my sensibilities every day!
I’m an American in Thailand married to a Thai 20 years with children never had any problems just like anywhere take your time and choose a good partner.
Yes cushions you want top quality cushions you need like 18 pounds per cubic feet. Take a look at gamma furniture they use use top quality cushions ,custom sticking patterns ,bull leather very thick leather if your familiar with stress less their most expensive couch is like 12 pounds per cubic foot. But looks comfortable your chair
Don’t be like me. I got married to a Thai woman. She was a manager of a business, very professional. I was always told don’t get mixed up with a bargirl, so I thought I would be ok. I also refused to pay sin sot, so she paid her own to save face. Anyway, took her back to the US and the first few years were great, then it inevitably turned bad and I ended up losing half my money, which was hundreds of thousands of US dollars. This Thai woman became rich beyond her wildest dreams, all because she played the long game, I guess? So instead of retiring in my early 50’s, I kept working because I wanted to regain my wealth. Now, I’m in my late 50’s, I regained my net worth and then some, actually made a lot more money than I would have if I had retired. I’m about to retire for good to Thailand, and this time, I won’t be stupid enough to marry. I’m also not going to buy property or a car, I’m going to rent a condo and walk everywhere, or baht bus. The reason we all love Thailand is the beautiful women, so don’t limit yourself to one.
Something people have to understand about the law here is it's pay to process. If she wants the police to get on your case of cohabitation she's gonna have to shell out 20k plus to the police and go through a ton of headache. I've never seen it done not once
Very informative man. Didn't know u were ex law enforcement. I'm ex state correctons.( sucky...). Good info, I'm retired. Been looking at Pattaya on UA-cam for a year or so. Perfect subject matter, you laid things out well. Great video. Excellent perspective. Thanks man
thailand has the highest rate of relationship breakdown, married or defacto, in SEA, depending what your source is getting its numbers from , suffice to say its high, and its even higher if you factor only foreign men / thai relationships
If you’re a white guy under 30, with a six pack, you can get 2 new Thai girls every day. Sure, that guy can’t get EVERY Thai woman. But considering there are about 30 million Thai women he doesn’t even need 1 out of 100 to be busy forever. For every race though, Thailand is easy mode. I’m an American 6 at most, but in Thailand it’s no problem.
I don’t marry people period. Marriage is good for people who want to have kids but non of Pattaya men want anything to do with raising children so why bother to marry their women.
Been happy married for 25 years. Main reason we got married I wanted to bring her back to the USA. I have read many stories in the news paper when expats have commented suicide when they traded there partner in for a new younger one.
@@ThailandThomasi would prefer D Eath compared to life time Ali Money 😅. Proverb says: A man without mo Ney is a dead man , anyways ( giving 1/2 property accumulated during cohabitation is a somewhat fare deal but ALI money thats extortion specially if no kids+ male partner never stoped her from working )
My girlfriend in Thailand says I can use her address to set up my bank account and also my drivers license. As long as the bank account is my name, she can't get anything if we break up. True?
Don't crap on your own doorstep, find women in different areas, always stay in a hotel when meeting them, never take a woman back to your condo and don't date women in a 10 mile radius of where you live.
You can rent 2 condos. One is for meeting ladies and another is for living in solitude 😊 Booking hotels is a bit expensive if you want to have a plenty of s3x in Thailand. And if you do not want it then why are you there in the first place? 😂🤣😂
Mr Greeny... The obvious question at hand here is the advantages and disadvantages of Co habitation laws. The ONLY negative example you gave was a couple that were together for 16 years!! This is not a typical situation. IF you Co habitate with a Thai GF for 1-2 years. DID NOT buy a house/condo together and you split up. You are pretty much Golden. Very unlikely she tries to go through the courts to get some support frtom you as there would be little given even if successful. The 1-3 years co Habitating with no major purchases is a sweet spot. Most men coming here from Western countries think its the same as Common-Law laws in Canada/USA/Britain. Its not. Its way more lax. Especially if like I said you stay away from major purchases while together.
Greeny puts his lions shirt away and brings out his tigers shirt already.😊 yep that is one thing I’ve noticed in Asia seat cushions aren’t as think and a lot of mattresses aren’t as thick. Sometimes if I go to a bar in Asia I can only sit for so long before I have to stand.
Cautionary tale regarding prenups in the USA. I divorced my Brazilian wife, married 8 years, last December. We had a prenup. At mediation the outcome should have been predictable, right? At mediation she had an attorney. She was coached into saying she didn’t understand what she was signing (native portuguese speaker, but fluent in english), and so they would go to court to have it thrown out. The mediator told me privately “you have a business decision to make. They can, and will, take you to court over this. She’ll probably lose, but maybe not. If you win, from experience, you’ll pay about $50,000 in legal expenses, both hers snd yours. If you lose, you’ll pay the first $50K AND an amount beyond the prenup. Plus, going to court will drag out the divorce. (and i’m trying to retire in Thailand ASAP). So, i upped the prenup offer by $50K and she accepted that (she knew should likely lose in court, and not see the $50K lost to the lawyer and court). A curveball for sure, but still, it was worth it.
“A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner” ― Robert De Niro, from the movie HEAT
Great info . Never know with foreign laws .. Peoples just assume . You were on point with the March Hotel , excellent choice and will stay again . Too bad we didn’t meet up for a coffee or beer . Be well .
You really brought up some good points. Thank you. I just broke up with a gf of two years who I dearly loved. I escaped paying her debt and now my money is mine. (We didn't live together.)
Nice video Greeny. I kind of think a bit differently to most here, I think its a good idea to buy a Condo, especially as you can lock up and leave, if you want to travel, knowing you can return at anytime and home is home, all of your belonging's are there, your 'peace train' don't have to move around all the time, if you find your area you like, why not buy there? Im not saying race in and buy, your very first trip there but find your feet, your area you love and if you plan to stay, then, I would buy. As far as girlfriends are concerned, we all know when we find the right one at our middle age, I think I would as I have done plenty of dating now, had my family, Im not an easy touch, these day's, doesn't mean I'm hard either, just smarter, if it doesn't feel right, it normally isn't, trust your gut feeling, it's normally right
@@GreenyTravels BTW Greeny... I'm a women living here in Thailand with my AMZING husband! I DO listen to what you're saying. Been together for 20 years, the secret is LOVE. I would give all I had to make him happy. I listen to other men complain about their problems with their woman. I then make sure I'm not one of those women😊 Keep the videos coming. You'll find love, I'm sure of it. PB
It would be useful for you to interview a Thai lawyer on camera who can provide general legal advice/information to your subscribers. You don't have legal training and your commentary has left many of us with more questions than answers.
In the United States cohabitating will lead to a Marvin Claim. You will have to pay going to court. How do I know, a friend of mine is fighting this right now. Costing him over 100k in attorney fees just to fight.
it is not that you can have any girl or that you want every girl. There is an extremely large pool of women so even if you get rejected 95 percent of the time there are still thousands that will accept you and your wallet. thanks for the video
A couple of reason's for a break-up or divorce in Thailand,1)She wants more then you or able or want to give her,A House ,new car or new Bike,she wants too much monthly baht for her family,brother or to buy land in her village.She trys to control you especailly about your friend s or drinking.You were a Loser all along and she finally figuered it out???
It is not different from our relationships with all other service providers: internet and mobile providers, insurance companies, streaming services, you name it. When they ask too much we cancel their service and move to another provider with better "value for money" ratio. We should always remember that it is absolutely the same thing with women in Thailand: they provide their service for some money. If their service is not worth the money they ask just cut off and move to another provider. And do not let snare you in any type of a binding contract. It is as stupid as signing a contract that forces you pay your mobile operator a lifelong alimony just because it is hard for them to continue their business after you have cancelled their service 🤦 Living together means she has a right to demand alimony? Then no living together!
@@GreenyTravels When you buy, you pay condo fees every month and taxes every year. Regardless of occupancy style, you have monthly expenses. Selling real-estate in a foreign country is often a hassle. It might work if you are making a 10-20 year commitment to living in the country.
Greeny. I first came to Thailand on a trip that was 10 days long. Holy shit, I was a scumbag. I had the most lady’s in a 10 day time period ever. Wilt chamberlain status. I did it because I was testing the limits. As a tourist there were none but was that what I wanted at 40? No. Next trip, I partied solo for a day or so then met a girl and spent the rest of my trip with her. I did this for about 28 more times for 16 years. Yes I met women that we continues talking while in California long distance style. Very careful not to send money. One or two of these women were with me on more than one trip. Zero drama. Had USA girl friends in between those trips, never traveled while in a local relationship Had I lived in Thailand I probably would not have gotten married. Never got married here either till my wife. Our jobs as humans is to find exceptions as partners. This is my mindset: don’t date someone in Thailand that gives you the USA woman BS. TRANSACTIONAL? That works only for vacation girlfriends. I taught my wife from the beginning. Don’t waste my money because it’s your money too. I have a house here in the USA and she has a house in Thailand. If we got divorced neither of us could get the others house. For sure id owe alimony. I’m 61 and have been with over 500 women. Never met one like my wife. We breakup now, I’m never finding another her. Every dude thinks their girl is the one at one time. I get that. Find a girl that’s genuine, treat her like a partner. If she doesn’t give you that back don’t marry her. If she does then marry her. It’s that simple. Found one like that. My wife. :)
Why u owe alimony? Doesn’t she work & make her own living? Or u want to give her same standard of living even if she get rid of u?( & u got no kids with her)
@@Roy-kv6zr I don't owe anything because I'm not getting divorced. In america though, if your wife doesn't work, or if she makes less than you, most of the time, you will have to pay alimony for a time period based on how long you are married. I think after 10 years you have to pay till they get remarried.
@@fastj1962 u said in your comment ‘ i owe alimony’ thats why i said. But don’t u owe Palimony or non - spousal support in Thailand what talked about for being in LTR? I know the laws in states,i was born in india, in their man have to give alimony for rest of his life irrespective of length of the relationship 🎉🎉 Some women in india divorced her husband after 3 weeks & got life time alimony, u may noT believe but true incident.
@@fastj1962 but u said yo ur sel f id owe Al Imony thats why I asked u. As u r in LTR will u not OW e Pa Limony or as greeny said Non Sp Ousal Su PPort??
I loved the part about the guy who believed that foreigners cannot open a bank account. What a brilliant idea it was, to put a pile of money into the stranger's name 🤔💡🥳! But I have a couple of my own bright ideas: 1. Do not tell them that you own a condo where you live. Tell them that you rent it from your friend who still lives back in your home country. Do not let them know that you have a property they can target. 2. Have accounts in 2 Thai banks. One should have a little more than the minimum required by Thai authorities for extending your visa. Do not access another account with the bulk of your savings in their presence. No need to let them know that you have a juicy retirement fund. Let them know that you still work a little and earn your living. This way they will know that as long as they stay with you they have your support but as soon as they decide to leave they will have nothing to take away from you 😉
Your seat cushion is around the wrong way. Zipper to the back and the weave of the fabric or lines are to run the same way as the back cushions. Nice choice of fabric, I like it
No job no relationship, if she wants to get married an most do the village buddhist version only, and dont give them any money, its enough you pick up the day to day expenses and gifts ie clothes etc...and back to number one...no job no relationship.
Good information, better would have been an explanation on how you worked out your pre-nup, so that others understand how it is done. Great advice though, everyone who doesn't know what you talked about should or they could learn the hard way.
Nope your "commitment" is handing them a big stick to beat you with. Just you standing by them is enough never get put under any legal extortion situation of marriage.
I would love to be in a devoted, loving relationship for the purpose of having children but all the evidence seems to be directing me to take my millions and just live hedonistically for the rest of life in different locations around the world. Too bad, I would have really liked to have had children.
Woman will see you living hedonistically and know you have $$$$$. You may find true love eventually, but you may also have a kid with a woman who sees you as a man with assets.
You can have children, it is not an problem. However, you cannot enjoy your freedom and your life is not as comfortable and chill anymore as it was before 😉 So, we all had to make a choice: either live comfortably alone or marry, have children, feel the main goal of the life accomplished but sacrifice half the pleasures of the world for it.
Love your videos Greeny, thank you. Some of the comments you get are what I would say typical, from guys who have no clue about either life or Thailand. Just walk away and pay nothing is such a newbie comment as is saying you can get any woman you want in Thailand! One last thing from me, you may not right all the time but you are not far off most of the time 😊
U seems like a Thailand veteran, Can u give me an idea , how much it usually cost to break up in Thailand? Couple in cohabitation, Man did- No promise of marriage, no promise of giving her money FOREVER & no kids obviously. & sh e took 40k bhat / month to be hi s gf & s he has a job too.
@@Joker-2357 it greatly depends on many many things. How long you lived together, how the relationship ended, how integrated your lives were, financially especially. What type of person she is, does she have her own money, does she know how much you are truly worth etc etc. Greeny is quite correct when he says just because you were not legally married does not mean you have no legal obligations when breaking up with a live in girlfriend. While not exactly the same as the Western world’s common law partner Thai law may find in her favour if she takes you to court. Best to reach some form of agreement and have it documented. Or as many do, take your chances and move apartments while not leaving a forwarding address 🤔
@@craighope-johnstone5639 Actually asking for my friend, She don’t know about net worth, its not much , mainly pension, Is it really common claiming of Non spousal support/ Palimony in Thailand even if sh e had a job on h er own & Sh E took 40k bhat / month financial support . In that way already she got 1.5 mil bhat ??
Greeny we all make mistakes in life. That letter you read out or line. Bar Girls in Pattaya are there for business. No different than me sleeping with an escort. Don't fall for them. Because everything is money. They only use you or me as their payday.
EVERYONE makes mistakes, then you grow and learn. There's no right and wrong in relationships, there's just compatibility and the lack there of with some grey in between. All in all just be yourself and the ones that stick you pay more attention to and if everything aligns and there are no pet peeves go for it! If she blows on every bite of food and it bugs you then move on, you're retired and looking for a sunset beach with a cocktail and have places to see. Do just that and true friends will stick😍🤗🥰
Also, once you have moved to this wonderful country, realize that there is a reason! 😈don't get involved with the ladies other than monetary. Emotional relationships in my opinion here are between your masseuse and your bartender😎
Seems like if you own a condo, you need to go on a “vacation” together while you sell your condo in secret and break up with her out of country. Then travel a month or 2 if you want to purchase another condo.
I’m 58 years old I’ve only had two women that didn’t cost me a dime. I never even bought a drink for them . Although they were one night stands! I was a lot younger then! Blahaha Now every woman wants to know what I do for a living? That way they can judge in their mind how much they can get out of you right from the start. I’ve never been married, and only let one lady have a little closet, space and a drawer. That shit worked when I was younger!!! That kind of behavior makes for a lonely old man! Lol I’m getting my punishment now for having cold feet when I was younger. Or at least that’s the way it seems. I’m going to find myself a Filipina in late 40s to early 50s no need for any young ones anymore. Just want a good companion. After a year or two, she wants to get married that’s fine. Actually, that would be very doable at this point in my life. Hopefully I’m through paying my dues for being an asshole when I was younger!!! 45-58 has really sucked!!! Retirement is about 424 days away!!!
Hey Mike, I hear you brother but still take it slow even at 58. You still have a lot to lose both financially and in living a peaceful life. Calamity and chaos can still happen and it sucks at any age. Look for someone who was raised right, has a good family and has good values. You have a solid plan.
Your cushions look good. I couldn't say if you got a good deal for them, with you being in Thailand. You may have paid the foreigner price. I do think anyone that has a long-term relationship with a Thai, should compensate them if they decide to end it, or even if they were to drop dead they should have provisions in a Will and beneficiary on bank accounts.
I agree with the Will part But the question is Long - term relationship how long? How much should she compensated ? Will she still need to be compensated if she used to took monthly financial support? Your kind of thinking is very gentlemanly but thats created Sp ousal support & now man fear forming any long term relationship, One of my friend without any kids lost his 90% of disposable income for 15 years on sp Ousal support, he de leted him self for financial hardship after 4 years Ex wife had her own house & now does a low paying job & enjoying her life with new bf.
@@Roy-kv6zr sorry to hear of your friend's situation, sounds like he was taken advantage of by his ex and the legal system. It's a complicated situation and everything should be factored in for fairness. 90% of disposable income for 15 years doesn't sound at all fair. My concern is more for a dependent person suddenly being cast out into homelessness and without resources.
She still stole half of his money and he paid attorney fees....Do it if you can afford to lose it.
Isn’t that nuts.
Being a single man in Thailand is nothing but wonderful. BUT, we all eventually get old. I have been married to my Thai wife for 23 years. I am now 79 years old and I simply need her for everyday living. I don't get around as well as I once did.
Added; My wife considered herself an old maid at 35 years old. She was never married and had no children. She is more than 20 years younger than I am. I'm way too selfish to marry a woman who has children. My wife is also a hard worker. She is a farm girl and has a rice milling business. Her business does well and she stays very busy but still has time to take care of me.
You got it made! Hopefully I will find a keeper
I tell you my story, my ex gf thai moved with me, she basically was doing nothing all day 24 hours on her phone, sleeping 2-4 am and waking up at 12, so lazy watch series all day, with phone all time. And started asking me money as doing nothing. Eventually i kicked her out
I had a similar experience. Sleep, eat, TikTok, sleep,eat TikTok......had to throw her out 😂😂
@@AcmeRocket no Palimony/ non spousal support?
Or any other financial obligation?
@@A_Sen_0 for me , no. Just a GF. Bye bye
@A_Sen_0 There is none possible anyway, don't believe the tales.
A pretty common theme here. They ask but don’t bring anything to the table
The main reason we do these things is that back in the west either divorced or single you are relegated to the trash pile that no one wants and if they do take you on its usually to see what they can drain off you .
We then go to LOS and are treated like a King and told 5 times a day how handsome you are and how much they love you plus usually the sex is on tap ... at least for the first 12 mths 5555.
Its then the cracks start to appear with requests for bike for brother , house for mama/pupa , rubber plantation for family , and the list goes on ... just one big merry go-- round
I was talking to a English female bar owner , yes she owned Triangle Bar and she said the prices the girls ask for are over the top and IF you do pay it shouldn't be more than 5,000baht a month !! at that time fellas were paying 20,000baht a month and higher !!
In my mind your better off living on your own and doing short time ( better getting a short time room ) or a rub and tug at the soapies , never let them back to your room any more than 2 times or they then start to get accustomed to being there .
There is nothing wrong with living on your own , the thing with LOS you can get anything you want anytime you want , also no need to waste money taking them out for breakfast , dinner ..... nothing wrong with eating on your own = cheaper
JUST MY THOUGHTS
Definitely a popular point of view. Everything you said is accurate. After a guy gets burned you may find this lifestyle is far less stressful
That’s what I meant. You said it better than I could. Men are the romantics. Men are in love, women are in business - Coach Greg Adams. Seems to be especially true in Thailand.

I'm 58 retired and living the dream here in Phuket. Fortunately, I've been coming to Thailand for 10 years before living permanently so 100% up with the play on how things work, especially concerning the girls/bars/antics etc. Newsflash! They don't love you. They never will. They will empty your wallet, take your savings, and your heart, your sanity, and then shit you out. They are cold, calculating, and ruthless. NEVER get involved with a Thai bar girl.
People using people, perfect example of how not to live.......no wonder the old guys drink so much.
Like your honest, relaxing style Greeny - watched a few of your blogs/videos whatever they’re called. We all make mistakes and have hearts that can be hurt.

WoW !! done well mate
A coworker retired moved to Thailand. He made his first big mistake. He let a Thailand lady move in.
She kept asking for more money and money for her mother. He decided to end the relationship, but she wouldn’t leave.
In Thailand, you cannot kick out a woman you’re having a relationship with. She has a right by law to stay.
So this is what he did His last month of his lease, he moved to another apartment across town. He told management what was going, and his girlfriend could stay the last month of his lease.
Let her know if she damages anything she has to pay. They said not a problem this happens all the time.
Once she got back to the apartment, she blew up his phone. He told her you should’ve moved out when I asked you to. I’m not going to talk to you any more and he blocked her.
Smart. There are laws for eviction but what a pain in the ass
14 years married to A Thai, She has earned it. What A Doll. No Regrets.
Awesome!!
Great video Greeny. Like your straight forward conversation.
Thank you
Important info. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Appreciate it.
Cohabitation, commingling finances, marriage. I don’t know. I’m 54 now. I came here to live a minimalist lifestyle and just keep my life simple and as uncomplicated as I can.
But to each their own. Whatever makes you happy.
And it’s a great place to do that. Really don’t need much here
Simple rule of thumb - if a lady does right by you during the relationship, you should do right by her if you decide to end the relationship. Lastly, always take the high road. Most relationships don't end well, but take the high road when it does end.
Good advice!!
Hi Greeny
I agree with you 💯 percent, on two issues.
Be a gentleman even when you break up with her, take care of her and make sure she gets back on her feet. And definitely buy the problems off
Well said
Take care of her for how long after the break up?
Case 1) What if she already had her job
Case 2) lets say she never had a job , she was with her thai husband then after divorce she started living with u , she is 40 now.
How she will get back on her feet
I agree with u what u r saying but how to solve her problems & how big of a burden that gonna be on us thats the question!
If think very generously then it will be , she lived with u 35 to 40
So now u pay alimony for rest of her life, also she got 2 kid with thai man who don’t provide child support, so that expense should also be included
I know its child support but as a gentleman we should help
Unfortunately we don’t have unlimited money 😢
& they have A lot of problems- liabilities (thats why they dates us )
What the solution? Middle ground?
@@Roy-kv6zr
I see your point, but I was speaking in general. let share another specific situation, what if you broke up due to some malicious act on her behalf ! I don't think any man in this situation is obligated to helping her. But if the break up was peaceful with no hard feelings, then you must step up to the plate and be a gentleman.
@@ameralgharaballi3516 completely agree with u
@@Roy-kv6zrIn that situation, I think 5-10k for every month you’ve been together is about right but YMMV. As men, we are using some of their prime years and as a man, I have no problem paying for that.
Heya Greeny, nice video and I'm happy to see you still have the kitty! I guess I could say I had a unique opportunity to meet a great girl, I was introduced to her through a mutual friend, and we started dating a few months before I started staying with her in her condo she owns and runs a tour kiosk. I would caution people to wait awhile and make sure they are making the right decision before committing to a relationship here. I got lucky and can't be happier, I hope everyone could have the same outcome.
Some success stories out there. If I have one I will report back on it.
The guy that said whatever you do do the opposite was hilarious
😂
@GreenyTravels your videos and Honesty has been super helpful and generous. I'm thinking about ditching canada got to check things out in Thailand and Vietnam
"Women love to spend money" 🤣🤣🤣
Ain't that the truth
It’s their DNA
Wrong written : woman love to spend OTHER people's money.
They are very frugal if they need to spend their own Money 😉
Great information, It’s amazing how smart some of these Thai women can be!! Some Farangs seem to let their wrong head make too many decisions without thinking about potential consequences. I’ve only been retired here in Jomtien/Pattaya area for 4 months so far and the women here challenge my sensibilities every day!
They have a playbook for sure
Funny part is that the farangs think they are the smart one's 😂
Any thai girl you meet.... Its not her first rodeo 😊
I’m an American in Thailand married to a Thai 20 years with children never had any problems just like anywhere take your time and choose a good partner.
Glad it worked out.
Man ! Your videos are so great and informative!
Keep them coming. So great! Michael Collins
Excellent info, thanks Greeny....more please.
Thanks Michael.
Yes cushions you want top quality cushions you need like 18 pounds per cubic feet. Take a look at gamma furniture they use use top quality cushions ,custom sticking patterns ,bull leather very thick leather if your familiar with stress less their most expensive couch is like 12 pounds per cubic foot. But looks comfortable your chair
Yes. Worked out well. Still happy with the cushions
Love your rant - great way to show the real Greeny and your free flow of thoughts. Great reminders too now that I’m back in Pattaya.
Awesome. I’m finally sorta recovering from this cough. I’ve been doing nothing for like a month. Ridiculous
@@GreenyTravels Glad you’re finally back on the mend. Those coughs are hard to get over.
Don’t be like me. I got married to a Thai woman. She was a manager of a business, very professional. I was always told don’t get mixed up with a bargirl, so I thought I would be ok. I also refused to pay sin sot, so she paid her own to save face. Anyway, took her back to the US and the first few years were great, then it inevitably turned bad and I ended up losing half my money, which was hundreds of thousands of US dollars. This Thai woman became rich beyond her wildest dreams, all because she played the long game, I guess? So instead of retiring in my early 50’s, I kept working because I wanted to regain my wealth. Now, I’m in my late 50’s, I regained my net worth and then some, actually made a lot more money than I would have if I had retired. I’m about to retire for good to Thailand, and this time, I won’t be stupid enough to marry. I’m also not going to buy property or a car, I’m going to rent a condo and walk everywhere, or baht bus. The reason we all love Thailand is the beautiful women, so don’t limit yourself to one.
This mentality goes far beyond the girls in bars
When the love intoxication kicks in the common sense flies out the window 😉Hope you will not be taken advantage of again.
Something people have to understand about the law here is it's pay to process. If she wants the police to get on your case of cohabitation she's gonna have to shell out 20k plus to the police and go through a ton of headache. I've never seen it done not once
Everything pay here yep. Agree
I would never get married but would like stable companionship
Me too
@@GreenyTravels your on camera skills are getting really good.
Great show Greeny
Interesting subjects 😊
Thank you.
Very informative man. Didn't know u were ex law enforcement. I'm ex state correctons.( sucky...).
Good info, I'm retired. Been looking at Pattaya on UA-cam for a year or so.
Perfect subject matter, you laid things out well. Great video. Excellent perspective.

Thank you.
Greeny, thank you for this informative and enteraining video 🙂.
Appreciate it
"you dont need to take sand to the beach" .. Love that!
😂
Thumbs up 👍 Greeny…..I’m married to a 1/2 Thai 1/2 Lao however she’s been living in the US since she’s been 5 😎
Raised so differently there I’m sure.
thailand has the highest rate of relationship breakdown, married or defacto, in SEA, depending what your source is getting its numbers from , suffice to say its high, and its even higher if you factor only foreign men / thai relationships
True. All these single women with kids. Very little accountability
If you’re a white guy under 30, with a six pack, you can get 2 new Thai girls every day. Sure, that guy can’t get EVERY Thai woman. But considering there are about 30 million Thai women he doesn’t even need 1 out of 100 to be busy forever. For every race though, Thailand is easy mode. I’m an American 6 at most, but in Thailand it’s no problem.
Good life in Thailand
I don’t marry people period. Marriage is good for people who want to have kids but non of Pattaya men want anything to do with raising children so why bother to marry their women.
P is a powerful thing. A wise mad told me that when I was young. He didn’t lie
Great stuff as always Greeny,each to their own re relationships just beware🙄
Yep
Been happy married for 25 years. Main reason we got married I wanted to bring her back to the USA. I have read many stories in the news paper when expats have commented suicide when they traded there partner in for a new younger one.
Definitely some suicides. Many a young girl has broken a man’s heart. Anthony Bourdain comes to mind
Ya I was more joking that many young thai ladies have killed there expat lover when dumped and the police ruled it a suicide. @@GreenyTravels
@@ThailandThomasi would prefer D Eath compared to life time Ali Money 😅.
Proverb says: A man without mo Ney is a dead man , anyways
( giving 1/2 property accumulated during cohabitation is a somewhat fare deal but ALI money thats extortion specially if no kids+ male partner never stoped her from working )
Great video mate!
Thank you!!
My Thai wife loves your coach - keep up the great work.
lol. Thanks
My girlfriend in Thailand says I can use her address to set up my bank account and also my drivers license. As long as the bank account is my name, she can't get anything if we break up. True?
No. When you move if ever just change your address
Don't crap on your own doorstep, find women in different areas, always stay in a hotel when meeting them, never take a woman back to your condo and don't date women in a 10 mile radius of where you live.
I love this idea. There are some crazies here
@@GreenyTravels last thing you need is crazy thai women banging on your door while playing hide the sausage with another woman.
You can rent 2 condos.
One is for meeting ladies and another is for living in solitude 😊
Booking hotels is a bit expensive if you want to have a plenty of s3x in Thailand.
And if you do not want it then why are you there in the first place? 😂🤣😂
@@dmitriikurilov1569 you still run the risk of unwanted visitors banging on the door while you're entertaining another woman.
Mr Greeny... The obvious question at hand here is the advantages and disadvantages of Co habitation laws. The ONLY negative example you gave was a couple that were together for 16 years!! This is not a typical situation. IF you Co habitate with a Thai GF for 1-2 years. DID NOT buy a house/condo together and you split up. You are pretty much Golden. Very unlikely she tries to go through the courts to get some support frtom you as there would be little given even if successful. The 1-3 years co Habitating with no major purchases is a sweet spot. Most men coming here from Western countries think its the same as Common-Law laws in Canada/USA/Britain. Its not. Its way more lax. Especially if like I said you stay away from major purchases while together.
Well stated. I couldn’t have said it better.
Greeny puts his lions shirt away and brings out his tigers shirt already.😊 yep that is one thing I’ve noticed in Asia seat cushions aren’t as think and a lot of mattresses aren’t as thick. Sometimes if I go to a bar in Asia I can only sit for so long before I have to stand.
Yep. And the outdoor furniture shop doesn’t even sell replacements. I had to get them made
Cautionary tale regarding prenups in the USA.
I divorced my Brazilian wife, married 8 years, last December. We had a prenup. At mediation the outcome should have been predictable, right? At mediation she had an attorney. She was coached into saying she didn’t understand what she was signing (native portuguese speaker, but fluent in english), and so they would go to court to have it thrown out.
The mediator told me privately “you have a business decision to make. They can, and will, take you to court over this. She’ll probably lose, but maybe not. If you win, from experience, you’ll pay about $50,000 in legal expenses, both hers snd yours. If you lose, you’ll pay the first $50K AND an amount beyond the prenup. Plus, going to court will drag out the divorce. (and i’m trying to retire in Thailand ASAP).
So, i upped the prenup offer by $50K and she accepted that (she knew should likely lose in court, and not see the $50K lost to the lawyer and court).
A curveball for sure, but still, it was worth it.
Those attorneys know how to play the game.
Thank you, this was great
Thank you

Love that quote
That quote from DeNiro is very much the same as Buddhist philosophy.
Great info .
Never know with foreign laws ..
Peoples just assume .
You were on point with the March Hotel , excellent choice and will stay again .
Too bad we didn’t meet up for a coffee or beer .
Be well .
Thanks.
You really brought up some good points. Thank you. I just broke up with a gf of two years who I dearly loved. I escaped paying her debt and now my money is mine. (We didn't live together.)
I at one point asked her if she wanted to get married and she declined; 'dodged a bullet! (I know, I was stupid in love!)
Relationships tough here
Can not have 2 marriage certificates at same time 😊
the cat is the best part lol
I will have to rewatch. Did t even notice
Nice video Greeny. I kind of think a bit differently to most here, I think its a good idea to buy a Condo, especially as you can lock up and leave, if you want to travel, knowing you can return at anytime and home is home, all of your belonging's are there, your 'peace train' don't have to move around all the time, if you find your area you like, why not buy there? Im not saying race in and buy, your very first trip there but find your feet, your area you love and if you plan to stay, then, I would buy. As far as girlfriends are concerned, we all know when we find the right one at our middle age, I think I would as I have done plenty of dating now, had my family, Im not an easy touch, these day's, doesn't mean I'm hard either, just smarter, if it doesn't feel right, it normally isn't, trust your gut feeling, it's normally right
Exactly. Finally someone that understands me.
@@GreenyTravels BTW Greeny... I'm a women living here in Thailand with my AMZING husband! I DO listen to what you're saying. Been together for 20 years, the secret is LOVE. I would give all I had to make him happy. I listen to other men complain about their problems with their woman. I then make sure I'm not one of those women😊 Keep the videos coming. You'll find love, I'm sure of it. PB
It would be useful for you to interview a Thai lawyer on camera who can provide general legal advice/information to your subscribers. You don't have legal training and your commentary has left many of us with more questions than answers.
If you go back a bit I have a series of interview with an attorney regarding most of this. Back when I made the prenup.
Brian go to Bangkok and meet a well educated woman in the business district and stay away from the Isaan girls in Pattaya.
I’m not looking for anything too hard at the moment
The new sofa cushions were a great deal! Bangkok haircut?!?!?!? 😬😮😮😮
😂
In the United States cohabitating will lead to a Marvin Claim. You will have to pay going to court. How do I know, a friend of mine is fighting this right now. Costing him over 100k in attorney fees just to fight.
Named after Marvin cause once he had to pay Marvin be Starvin
Depends on the state!
haha, great show, love the humour
Thank you.
You are a good man. Keep your head up!
Thank you, I will
Having a Thai girl move is ok, if and when you run the mill of them over time and if you end up with the one worthy of disrupting your ways
I like your new couch.
it is not that you can have any girl or that you want every girl. There is an extremely large pool of women so even if you get rejected 95 percent of the time there are still thousands that will accept you and your wallet. thanks for the video
Love the wallet. In America we call them wallet sniffers

1:29 Nice Robert de Niro quote.
$100 is far too much. I can buy a square of dense foam that size in UK for $15. It should be $40 max for the full job in Thailand.
Pricey. I like it though
A couple of reason's for a break-up or divorce in Thailand,1)She wants more then you or able or want to give her,A House ,new car or new Bike,she wants too much monthly baht for her family,brother or to buy land in her village.She trys to control you especailly about your friend s or drinking.You were a Loser all along and she finally figuered it out???
I love that list. You are right. Many times they want too much
It is not different from our relationships with all other service providers: internet and mobile providers, insurance companies, streaming services, you name it.
When they ask too much we cancel their service and move to another provider with better "value for money" ratio.
We should always remember that it is absolutely the same thing with women in Thailand: they provide their service for some money.
If their service is not worth the money they ask just cut off and move to another provider.
And do not let snare you in any type of a binding contract.
It is as stupid as signing a contract that forces you pay your mobile operator a lifelong alimony just because it is hard for them to continue their business after you have cancelled their service 🤦
Living together means she has a right to demand alimony?
Then no living together!

So true.
You make it sound like having a Thai girlfriend is a business arrangement 🤔
Do they always put money before love 😅

I paid a premium. Farang price no doubt.
Great show again MR G 👌🤝
Thank you.

Why buy a condo when there are so many available for lease.
The same theory applies to women in Thailand 😂
I hated renting. I had money to spend so why pay rent every month.
@@GreenyTravels When you buy, you pay condo fees every month and taxes every year. Regardless of occupancy style, you have monthly expenses. Selling real-estate in a foreign country is often a hassle. It might work if you are making a 10-20 year commitment to living in the country.
Greeny. I first came to Thailand on a trip that was 10 days long. Holy shit, I was a scumbag. I had the most lady’s in a 10 day time period ever. Wilt chamberlain status. I did it because I was testing the limits.
As a tourist there were none but was that what I wanted at 40? No. Next trip, I partied solo for a day or so then met a girl and spent the rest of my trip with her. I did this for about 28 more times for 16 years.
Yes I met women that we continues talking while in California long distance style. Very careful not to send money. One or two of these women were with me on more than one trip. Zero drama.
Had USA girl friends in between those trips, never traveled while in a local relationship
Had I lived in Thailand I probably would not have gotten married. Never got married here either till my wife. Our jobs as humans is to find exceptions as partners. This is my mindset: don’t date someone in Thailand that gives you the USA woman BS.
TRANSACTIONAL? That works only for vacation girlfriends. I taught my wife from the beginning. Don’t waste my money because it’s your money too.
I have a house here in the USA and she has a house in Thailand. If we got divorced neither of us could get the others house. For sure id owe alimony.
I’m 61 and have been with over 500 women. Never met one like my wife. We breakup now, I’m never finding another her.
Every dude thinks their girl is the one at one time. I get that. Find a girl that’s genuine, treat her like a partner. If she doesn’t give you that back don’t marry her. If she does then marry her. It’s that simple. Found one like that. My wife. :)
Why u owe alimony?
Doesn’t she work & make her own living?
Or u want to give her same standard of living even if she get rid of u?( & u got no kids with her)
@@Roy-kv6zr I don't owe anything because I'm not getting divorced. In america though, if your wife doesn't work, or if she makes less than you, most of the time, you will have to pay alimony for a time period based on how long you are married. I think after 10 years you have to pay till they get remarried.
@@fastj1962 u said in your comment ‘ i owe alimony’ thats why i said.
But don’t u owe Palimony or non - spousal support in Thailand what talked about for being in LTR?
I know the laws in states,i was born in india, in their man have to give alimony for rest of his life irrespective of length of the relationship 🎉🎉
Some women in india divorced her husband after 3 weeks & got life time alimony, u may noT believe but true incident.

Wilt was a god 😂.
I loved the part about the guy who believed that foreigners cannot open a bank account.
What a brilliant idea it was, to put a pile of money into the stranger's name 🤔💡🥳!
But I have a couple of my own bright ideas:
1. Do not tell them that you own a condo where you live.
Tell them that you rent it from your friend who still lives back in your home country.
Do not let them know that you have a property they can target.
2. Have accounts in 2 Thai banks.
One should have a little more than the minimum required by Thai authorities for extending your visa.
Do not access another account with the bulk of your savings in their presence.
No need to let them know that you have a juicy retirement fund.
Let them know that you still work a little and earn your living.
This way they will know that as long as they stay with you they have your support but as soon as they decide to leave they will have nothing to take away from you 😉
These are great ideas. Ways to cover yourself. I leave the cash in the U.S.
Your seat cushion is around the wrong way.
Zipper to the back and the weave of the fabric or lines are to run the same way as the back cushions.
Nice choice of fabric, I like it
Thx Rick. Had it that way. Seems too wide. Should be a perfect square. Not the most percise craftsmanship
@@GreenyTravels they could move the zip around for you......at a cost I'm sure.
Being an upholsterer, the zip caught my eye.
Pay now or pay later , either way you are going to pay
True
No job no relationship, if she wants to get married an most do the village buddhist version only, and dont give them any money, its enough you pick up the day to day expenses and gifts ie clothes etc...and back to number one...no job no relationship.
Good advice
Good information, better would have been an explanation on how you worked out your pre-nup, so that others understand how it is done. Great advice though, everyone who doesn't know what you talked about should or they could learn the hard way.
I will address that. Maybe in the next related one
Nope your "commitment" is handing them a big stick to beat you with.
Just you standing by them is enough never get put under any legal extortion situation of marriage.
Todays video is I get it done will be the reasons to marry them
I would love to be in a devoted, loving relationship for the purpose of having children but all the evidence seems to be directing me to take my millions and just live hedonistically for the rest of life in different locations around the world. Too bad, I would have really liked to have had children.
Have kids was great. Raising them definitely the highlight of my life
Woman will see you living hedonistically and know you have $$$$$. You may find true love eventually, but you may also have a kid with a woman who sees you as a man with assets.
You can have children, it is not an problem.
However, you cannot enjoy your freedom and your life is not as comfortable and chill anymore as it was before 😉
So, we all had to make a choice: either live comfortably alone or marry, have children, feel the main goal of the life accomplished but sacrifice half the pleasures of the world for it.
Love your videos Greeny, thank you. Some of the comments you get are what I would say typical, from guys who have no clue about either life or Thailand. Just walk away and pay nothing is such a newbie comment as is saying you can get any woman you want in Thailand! One last thing from me, you may not right all the time but you are not far off most of the time 😊
Thanks. Appreciate it Craig!
U seems like a Thailand veteran,
Can u give me an idea , how much it usually cost to break up in Thailand?
Couple in cohabitation,
Man did- No promise of marriage, no promise of giving her money FOREVER
& no kids obviously.
& sh e took 40k bhat / month to be hi s gf & s he has a job too.
@@Joker-2357 it greatly depends on many many things. How long you lived together, how the relationship ended, how integrated your lives were, financially especially. What type of person she is, does she have her own money, does she know how much you are truly worth etc etc. Greeny is quite correct when he says just because you were not legally married does not mean you have no legal obligations when breaking up with a live in girlfriend. While not exactly the same as the Western world’s common law partner Thai law may find in her favour if she takes you to court. Best to reach some form of agreement and have it documented. Or as many do, take your chances and move apartments while not leaving a forwarding address 🤔
@@craighope-johnstone5639
Actually asking for my friend,
She don’t know about net worth, its not much , mainly pension,
Is it really common claiming of Non spousal support/ Palimony in Thailand even if sh e had a job on h er own & Sh E took 40k bhat / month financial support .
In that way already she got 1.5 mil bhat
??
@@craighope-johnstone5639
So no cohabitation means completely hassle free , ya?
Or do th Ey still can claim Non Spousal support??
Good job
Greeny we all make mistakes in life. That letter you read out or line. Bar Girls in Pattaya are there for business. No different than me sleeping with an escort. Don't fall for them. Because everything is money. They only use you or me as their payday.
It’s fantasy land
EVERYONE makes mistakes, then you grow and learn. There's no right and wrong in relationships, there's just compatibility and the lack there of with some grey in between. All in all just be yourself and the ones that stick you pay more attention to and if everything aligns and there are no pet peeves go for it! If she blows on every bite of food and it bugs you then move on, you're retired and looking for a sunset beach with a cocktail and have places to see. Do just that and true friends will stick😍🤗🥰
Also, once you have moved to this wonderful country, realize that there is a reason! 😈don't get involved with the ladies other than monetary. Emotional relationships in my opinion here are between your masseuse and your bartender😎
Thank you.
Seems like if you own a condo, you need to go on a “vacation” together while you sell your condo in secret and break up with her out of country. Then travel a month or 2 if you want to purchase another condo.
Great strategy. I’m definitely gonna keep that in mind 😂
If you’re married or single you still are paying for it.
No truer words ever said
married means perpetual pay :)

I’m 58 years old I’ve only had two women that didn’t cost me a dime. I never even bought a drink for them . Although they were one night stands! I was a lot younger then! Blahaha
Now every woman wants to know what I do for a living?
That way they can judge in their mind how much they can get out of you right from the start.
I’ve never been married, and only let one lady have a little closet, space and a drawer.
That shit worked when I was younger!!!
That kind of behavior makes for a lonely old man! Lol
I’m getting my punishment now for having cold feet when I was younger. Or at least that’s the way it seems. I’m going to find myself a Filipina in late 40s to early 50s no need for any young ones anymore. Just want a good companion.
After a year or two, she wants to get married that’s fine. Actually, that would be very doable at this point in my life. Hopefully I’m through paying my dues for being an asshole when I was younger!!! 45-58 has really sucked!!! Retirement is about 424 days away!!!
Congratulations. Will get here quick
Hey Mike,
I hear you brother but still take it slow even at 58. You still have a lot to lose both financially and in living a peaceful life. Calamity and chaos can still happen and it sucks at any age.
Look for someone who was raised right, has a good family and has good values.
You have a solid plan.
I moved in her place. That way I can pack up and run. 😂. But it's going well.
That’s the way right there. Perfect plan!!
Your cushions look good. I couldn't say if you got a good deal for them, with you being in Thailand. You may have paid the foreigner price. I do think anyone that has a long-term relationship with a Thai, should compensate them if they decide to end it, or even if they were to drop dead they should have provisions in a Will and beneficiary on bank accounts.
I agree with the Will part
But the question is Long - term relationship how long?
How much should she compensated ?
Will she still need to be compensated if she used to took monthly financial support?
Your kind of thinking is very gentlemanly but thats created Sp ousal support & now man fear forming any long term relationship,
One of my friend without any kids lost his 90% of disposable income for 15 years on sp Ousal support, he de leted him self for financial hardship after 4 years
Ex wife had her own house & now does a low paying job & enjoying her life with new bf.
A lot of great questions. I need to find a sugar momma 😂
@@Roy-kv6zr sorry to hear of your friend's situation, sounds like he was taken advantage of by his ex and the legal system. It's a complicated situation and everything should be factored in for fairness. 90% of disposable income for 15 years doesn't sound at all fair. My concern is more for a dependent person suddenly being cast out into homelessness and without resources.
Are you back in Thailand? Nice info
Yes. Still putting out my Europe videos too
