I am/was always wary of girls who spoke very good english, smoked Marlboro, drank beer like a wharfie, played pool like Ronnie O'sullivan and only been in Bangkok for a week.
Katie’s story was extremely moving. Previously, I would’ve been in the camp of no forgiveness and we all know what the punishments are especially in countries like Thailand. Nevertheless, a situation happened to me back in January 1989. It was my first time travelling to the Land of smiles. I spent a fortnight mostly in Bangkok and Pattaya. I met up with a large group of mostly older friends who were also from the UK. Anyhow, because I came out a day later I was returning a day later on my own. Whilst in the very lengthy queue awaiting to checking in, I got talking to a very amiable friendly couple from the midlands (Blackburn i recall) we got chatting, exchanging stories and so on. I was still on a high and naively my guard was down. As we got closer to the checking in scanning machines they asked if I would be kind enough to check in one of their bags as they had a lot of luggage. I agreed and they handed me one of their cases. They went through with theirs as I did with mine and their case. Fortunately, I wasn’t apprehended and it was all presumably ok. Thank goodness as my story my life my world would or could’ve been so very different. As I type now I’m apprehensive at the thought of what could have been. I was about to join the London Fire service on my return. I had only just been discharged from the British Army after serving 3 great years. I had my whole life a head of me. Finally, I wish to add that I’m a Black British man. I say this as when we all read stories in the news we make judgment. This is a human reaction. Unfortunately, many would’ve made a judgment that was stereotypical of a 23 year old Black guy travelling to Thailand trying to smuggle drugs or whatever. I dodged a bullet there..........Nnamdi
I wouldn’t feel too bad about it, we all make mistakes when we are young but as you say, had you have been stopped and found with drugs it would have been game over and believe me, Thailand is not the country you want to be caught with drugs on you.
I can identify with a lot of these guys. I got scammed by an western girl over a period of two years, lost about $60,000 US . This girl was a real pro and I fell for her, hook, line and sinker. She could cry at the drop of a hat. I supported her and her kid for 2 years plus. I totally understand so many of these stories. It doesn’t mean as much, until you’ve been through it yourself. I wish they had drug punishment like that in the US. This place is loaded with drugs, it’s a shame , getting worse all the time. Thanks for the stories
You have become my favorite Channel! I saw your channel grow overtime. Someday, I might share my story to you and your viewers, from a 100 days (I had overstayed) spent in Thailand in 2006. It’s a long story.
True stories, if you go to Thailand just go to have fun, fun, fun, live out your fantasies and enjoy your time there when the girl is with you, she will give you all you ask for and more, it's a lovely vacation and if you play your cards right you will never forget it no matter how many times you return it will be the same even better, just look at all the girls they are everywhere, love can happen and it does, I know but remember as soon as you leave love has left the house and these girls are surviving everyday, they usually are let down by empty promises just like you if they wait you might not return, so they don't trust either.
Excellent stuff . Katie story is a sad one .hundreds more just like her from different corners of tge workd banged up and forgotten about. Great to highlight this.
What we have to do is, create a website where we will publically expose all these scammers, and warn other guys before they will make the same mistake that some of us made in the past.

Hey mate excellent content, good man.. May I please have some names of the songs you included in some of your intro/out clips? Highly appreciated mate,
5:41 Pom promised never to do that again...🤣 I wonder where thease women will be when they are 50 years old, and past their prime, and the younger girls will have already replaced them...Most likely living in her parents old shack in rural Isaan, finding herself in the same position that her parents were..
I know of one, she works as a hair dresser in the village, keeps on posting 'feel sorry for me posts' trying to catch another fish. She is one of the wealthiest in the village. Just makes you more cynical of Thai women.
50 years!? It is shocking to see how casual so many tourists remain towards Thailand's drug policies. I was and had to stop hanging out with one guy when I found out that he would run around seeking cocaine when we'd go out in Bangkok. Are drugs really that great that you'd risk your life in a Thai prison to enhance your holiday with them??
Many countries have exchange agreements with Thailand. After 4 to 8 years in Thai prison, the inmate is sent back to their home country to serve out their sentence. In most countries, the inmate is released after about 6 months. The U.K. is an exception, as you have to wait for a King's pardon or serve half your remaining sentence.
Question: How to know if the girl is likely to be a "good girl"? Answer: Where did you meet her? If it was in a bar or in a bar town, the answer is likely "no".
I know first hand of a US Military member tried and convicted of drug smuggling from the Thailand to the USA in 1974 and was convicted and sentenced to life to imprisonment. Luckily he was pardoned by His Majesty the King in 1983. Relationships between countries have some value.
After a few years of marriage I was in Pattaya in walking street with my thai wife close to the police who had set up a table and were just sitting there . They were not the tourist police kind. A thai man aproached me and tried to give me something . I was I admit a bit worse for wear. We werent holding hands my wife and I so it was not immediatly obvious I had a girl with me . When she saw this thai guy offering me something from his hand she went ballistic at him . He backed off very quickly. My wife then was angry at me telling me how close I came to being set up. She saved me that night. Pattaya is a wonderful place dont get me wrong And I will keep going there. Be Vigilant be aware is my advice. I hope this is not somthing that happens every night . Just dont let your guard down is all.
David, when you fly with an airplane with puncture tires, you should get off immediately. If not, when you see the pilot partially blind get the hell out of the plane. Before he fly the airplane into a mountain.
No need to be sorry for her. She committed the crime and this is the punishment. If you want to enjoy doing drugs, stay in Australian US or Europe where it is mostly more or less legal.
The penalty for the illegal drugs does seem harsh. I can see life imprisonment for serial killers etc but not for drug possession. Only my opinion. Great stories!
If you get caught doing drugs in Thailand you will do serious time. In 2009 a British guy was jailed for 50 years for drug dealing. Stay away from drugs.
@@davetherave1729 While I personally think drugs should be decriminalized, I think that dealing drugs (not just taking or transporting, but dealing drugs) in another country enables some other types of very serious crimes to occur and involves some very bad people.
Katie was only 19. She has certainly paid her debt and is certainly a changed person who now cam fluently speak and write Thai which is incredibly.Even if she did know we don't always make good decisions and take risks and the consequences are deverstating.
It was a very moving story about Katie. Is there any petition for leniency that we can sign or for other people also suffering from these draconian sentences.
I have more sympathy to to the guy's who lose money, The woman who thought she could turn her life around with one Run the point is how many would have been Ruined or lost if she got away with it,
So it's taken me a while to figure this out but I think that have it. Okay so (SOME) guys go on vacation for lets say 2 to 4 weeks, maybe longer. They meet a girl or bar girl fall in love and want to maintain the relationship. Said lady see an opportunity to keep the money flowing by maintaining a relationship with the guy. Since most don't want her to work in the bars anymore they agree to provide some support. This game gets rinsed and repeated with each visitor to the Kingdom because eventually the guys catch on to the game.
Unless you want a "time share" girlfriend. Some guys send money so the girl is available when he is in town for a few weeks, but there is no monogamy required on either side.
I love those stories, but djeez how naive can you be? The sick family story is one of the world's oldest to get money and it does still work that much. I'll send my story soon :)
@@ThailandBound yes I know that, I didn't mean how naive can YOU be to you personal, just in general. Because me too, I've been with some Thai girl and personally, I will send you my story when I have the time to write it (because my English is not that good). Often, I listen to your stories and I say 'my GF told me this to, or did this to, and I say luckily I didn't fall for that'
Great story. 50 years in jail or 28 years for drug smuggling ?? every drug user should. Be a shame of themself they are as guilty as her.in the US they make a.big deal when they put a big drug dealer. Behind bar .then a new one take over .because the public. Craving for drug .demand is the problem putting someone in jail for life do not solve the problem. I feel. Sorry for the ladies nobody so young deserve such a long sentence
there are several books about westerners who received long sentences...some professional criminals others semi innocent travellers ( semi because they did the job but not professional maybe for a boyfriend etc ) ..there is also a ton of information on the internet about it...of what i believe to know is that after a certain minimum time they can be brought back to their home countrys where they can finish the sentence ( under more human conditions ) usualy they receive a shortened sentence there... BUT the thai courts just dished out a sentence of i believe 40 years for a thai lady who shared a video on her cellphone showing the recent protests...and it was after they halfed the sentence....!!!!! this is the real tragedy...maybe Peter could lighten up that side of the thai judical system...or the overcrowdetness in thai prisons..maybe tell us about the thai immigration prison...or what happened to street runners under thaksin ( more than 2000 shot with not much of a procedure ) ....show all facettes of the land of smiles and dont forget the grave human rights abuses of the authority's...
I got one true story to tell but I am afraid about the length of the story which would cover from year 1985 till 2015. Should I post it to you Peter? Or if you could hit me your email address?
Hi Syed, as a guide I generally like stories to be no longer than 6 to 7 pages using Arial font 14, longer than this I can't really use I'm afraid. Please send to: peter@thailand-bound.com
@@ThailandBound Thanks Peter I would try to some it up but some other day if you don't mind. I am currently located at Sydney, Australia. See you in near future.
First two tales described my ex perfectly, they know exactly how to make you shell out the baht, and basically lead many lives on the sly, don't allow yourself to be one. Obvious lies, apologies, other men on social media, changes of mood for no reason, and so on lol My ex had a whole family depending on her income also, if I was there we would be travelling which presented problems with them ! If your not living with them in Thailand permanent then %100 expect she will be on the pull. FACT. Lol
Yeah it does seem to be the order of the day when entering into relationships with many a bar girl. I’m sorry to hear you too had a bad experience. Personally I know of a few people who have had better luck and managed to find a genuine loving relationship but I do get the odds of that happening are stacked against you. I guess some people are just lucky.
In Pattaya, the Lady Drink Scam has been around for decades The concept is quite simple. A punter pays 100-150 for a drink for a Girl assuming it is alcohol. Then the Bar switches the drink for water, apple Juice etc and the punter is unaware of the deception
If it was only that it wouldn't be a problem it doesn't matter to the punter what the girl is drinking as long as she stays with him for awhile if he's bought her the drink. The newer drinks scam these days is they ask you for a drink you agree but they come back with a tequila and Red Bull so you now have to pay for two drinks plus she can down the Tequila in about 5 seconds flat.
I understand what you're saying Petebut wouldn't you want your subscribers and no or anybody that something like this does exist regardless of his pain for her to sit with him or not it's still a scam it's good that you're going live it does make things a lot easier take care God bless
That first story was hilarious, im sorry but how many different men in the same timespan did she have. She had about a dozen as i assume we didnt get to hear from them all, what a player. The guy should have catched on by the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time but no he kept coming back for more :))) She must have been real pretty and good in bed. Men dont let these women treat you this way its bad for us all, demand change straigth away if they do this bullshit.
Hi Pete Well I thought you were going to pack up when I listened to one of your vlogs a few weeks past but am happy you have found a partnership with some one else. In response to something you said it's true there are good ladys out in Thailand but don't be falled even the ones in the village's no the score. And the ones that work in the banks or other good jobs you see expats lie as well as the Thai lady's so my advice just enjoy and all this falling in love is for losers. Don't lie to them and don't hang on every word they tell you THANK YOU for staying on UA-cam.
I agree with most of what you have said but honestly, I have several friends who have Thai partners with families and no problems what so ever but obviously I am not talking about bar girls.
Really a touching and movie last story Peter, this happens a lot guy gets the girl to carry the drugs and then she gets caught there is no leniency even when pregnant. Guys gets away with it.. It’s wrong to carry drugs 100% and you know what will happening you get caught ,so young tho influenced by someone else. She accepted the sentence and made the best of what she could. She is lucky to have had sentence reduced. 8 more years then she can see her child maybe she will get lucky and released sooner ,I am going to read more about her case. Prison hasn’t broken her and she sounds so strong and has so much spirit.
Wow, I don't know what to say about some of these guys who feel that these bar girls have scruples. The majority of the ladies have Thai men in the village. Wake up!
of course , i agee with you , the vast majority of those women are racist , they dont like farangs , they just picture us like a pig , to take advantage of us.
An expat friend of mine told me his sudden fiance asked him for $400 because of (excuses, excuses, excuses), and what was my opinion about it. My response: "IT'S A TRAP! RUN!"
@@sdickinson5234 I know of a neighbor's daughter who is/was collecting monthly checks from at least two boyfriends in Western countries while at the same time she is married to a local guy who she has two young children with. I only discovered about the overseas boyfriends when I saw her husband and children moving out of the house for a couple of weeks because one of the money giving guys was coming in town for a visit. Needless to say, I was the bad guy when I told them they were wrong on many levels for what the mom and her family were doing. They were middle class for their neighborhood and did not need the extra money which was used for showing off with big drunken parties (which all adults in the family joined) and buying fighting cocks. I never met the Western guys or else I would have told them to save their money.
@@sdickinson5234 The woman my friend found is not a bat girl. I knew her from a chain food stand/ restaurant she worked at. I didn't eat there but she was always smiling and friendly to people walking by. I was always too busy to stop, because I was rushing to my job near by. It was funny when my friend introduced us at dinner because I had seen her almost every day before we officially met.
I overheard this drug story by the person involved, when he was telling it to his friend. Anyway, he was partying in a bar on Sukhumvit Soi 33, and in the private room, he had a large dish with a variety of drugs. Somehow the Boys in Brown (BiB) were tipped off, and they raided that room. He calmly asked the boys, how much they would need to make the problem get away, after some discussion, they gave him a figure of 20,000 Euros (about 723000 THB). He made a call, and within 30 minutes someone brought a bag containing the cash. As the BiB, were about to leave with the cash, they proceeded to take the drugs, where the guy, stopped them, and said, "I've paid you for me to have the drugs here, so leave it here". They left with the cash and let him enjoy the rest of the night.
All my friends warned me about Thai women and they only want money… My Thai wife lent me money when I lost my bank card, and when we went out she was always buying me stuff of course this was before we were married So I have never understood the money trap Best thing that has ever happened to me, my wife lol
You're in the minority. At the end of the day i think it says more about us than them. If the girls faithful, she loves you because you do it for her, if she's not, she simple thinks you're boring and weak. Sadly I'm one of the later but then I only ST to avoid getting screwed over
I have a hardcore view about punishment. After a career in law enforcement i found very few people who have been rehabilitated. I believe if someone receives a death sentence the process of appeals has become absurd. It takes 20 to 30 years to exhaust the appeals process. I think once a death sentence has been given there should be one appeal to the Supreme Court, it has to be heard within six months. If the sentence is upheld then should be carried out within 30 days. Also if a person has received a life sentence without parole then i feel they have been deemed unfit to ever return to society, therefore if deemed so unfit, what is the point in keeping them alive. I think they should also be executed. I have heard the argument that it costs more to execute a person than to keep them incarcerated. If this is true then again this is a failure of the justice system. Like i said my view is harsh but this is my opinion.
Wow. I hope i never get falsely accused of something by someone with your hang em high viewpoint - especially in a country that is well known for its police corruption.
@@bbwnpat And what country are you referring too ? What is your background ? I have my law degrees, i worked in law enforcement for 12 years, and in all that time i can recount one case where the suspect was innocent. Actually he wasn't innocent, he was convicted but he did straighten his life up after he was convicted and became a responsible citizen. I know there are cases of innocent people being convicted and some of their cases being overturned, but i believe the percentage is less than 1/10th of one percent.
@@bbwnpat And i respect your right to have your opinion. I was just stating why i have my opinion and my background. Doesn't make my opinion more valid or more important than yours
I would mind if a girl had to do these things for her family. As long as she's honest, I can get over anything else. I always believe if you are just clear what is what in the beginning, it usually works out ok. I guess if she tells me she's doing this and doesnt rub my nose in it, who cares.. It's Thailand..have fun

Are drugs really that great that you'd risk your life in a Thai prison to enhance your holiday with them??
Very wise, I would have done the same.
Not only that the police set up stings all the time knowing foreigners will pay big money to stay out of the monkey house.

A thai man aproached me and tried to give me something . I was I admit a bit worse for wear. We werent holding hands my wife and I so it was not immediatly obvious I had a girl with me . When she saw this thai guy offering me something from his hand she went ballistic at him . He backed off very quickly. My wife then was angry at me telling me how close I came to being set up. She saved me that night. Pattaya is a wonderful place dont get me wrong And I will keep going there. Be Vigilant be aware is my advice. I hope this is not somthing that happens every night . Just dont let your guard down is all.
David, when you fly with an airplane with puncture tires, you should get off immediately. If not, when you see the pilot partially blind get the hell out of the plane. Before he fly the airplane into a mountain.
was a great live stream..really enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it
Good diverse stories Peter.
First Story Happens Anywhere & Everywhere
So the Katie story is very sad . In australia the sentence for killing another person is half what she got .
No matter what I feel for this Katie girl. At 19 she was still a child based on what I remember of my own youth
Great video
Great video, Peter.
Many thanks!
AMAZING VIDEO ❤❤❤
So sad to see this woman in jail with this lengthy sentence.
I think the sadistic Thais want it that way.
No need to be sorry for her. She committed the crime and this is the punishment. If you want to enjoy doing drugs, stay in Australian US or Europe where it is mostly more or less legal.
I wish I could get someone to send me money every month lol
Good story
The penalty for the illegal drugs does seem harsh. I can see life imprisonment for serial killers etc but not for drug possession. Only my opinion. Great stories!
I agree Paul
If you get caught doing drugs in Thailand you will do serious time. In 2009 a British guy was jailed for 50 years for drug dealing. Stay away from drugs.
@@davetherave1729 While I personally think drugs should be decriminalized, I think that dealing drugs (not just taking or transporting, but dealing drugs) in another country enables some other types of very serious crimes to occur and involves some very bad people.
Katie was only 19. She has certainly paid her debt and is certainly a changed person who now cam fluently speak and write Thai which is incredibly.Even if she did know we don't always make good decisions and take risks and the consequences are deverstating.
Beginning of story 2 sounded a bit like me .. 😬
It was a very moving story about Katie. Is there any petition for leniency that we can sign or for other people also suffering from these draconian sentences.
I don't think they have such things in Thailand, it's the kings pardon or you serve your sentence.
The last story was brilliant and incredibly sad.
The punishment for drugs is way too much.
Difficult to read it, very sad.
I have more sympathy to to the guy's who lose money, The woman who thought she could turn her life around with one Run the point is how many would have been Ruined or lost if she got away with it,
So it's taken me a while to figure this out but I think that have it. Okay so (SOME) guys go on vacation for lets say 2 to 4 weeks, maybe longer. They meet a girl or bar girl fall in love and want to maintain the relationship. Said lady see an opportunity to keep the money flowing by maintaining a relationship with the guy. Since most don't want her to work in the bars anymore they agree to provide some support. This game gets rinsed and repeated with each visitor to the Kingdom because eventually the guys catch on to the game.
Would love to find out he the lady gets her Pardon , Obviously if you ever find out let us know 👍
For sure Peter
Don't send money... rule #1
Unless you want a "time share" girlfriend. Some guys send money so the girl is available when he is in town for a few weeks, but there is no monogamy required on either side.
How much punishment does the poor girl have to pay ?
I love those stories, but djeez how naive can you be? The sick family story is one of the world's oldest to get money and it does still work that much. I'll send my story soon :)
@@ThailandBound yes I know that, I didn't mean how naive can YOU be to you personal, just in general. Because me too, I've been with some Thai girl and personally, I will send you my story when I have the time to write it (because my English is not that good).
Often, I listen to your stories and I say 'my GF told me this to, or did this to, and I say luckily I didn't fall for that'
@@nino184 Ah OK, cheers...Will remove my comment
@@ThailandBound no problem, keep up the good content!
Great story. 50 years in jail or 28 years for drug smuggling ?? every drug user should. Be a shame of themself they are as guilty as her.in the US they make a.big deal when they put a big drug dealer. Behind bar .then a new one take over .because the public. Craving for drug .demand is the problem putting someone in jail for life do not solve the problem.
I feel. Sorry for the ladies nobody so young deserve such a long sentence
there are several books about westerners who received long sentences...some professional criminals others semi innocent travellers ( semi because they did the job but not professional maybe for a boyfriend etc ) ..there is also a ton of information on the internet about it...of what i believe to know is that after a certain minimum time they can be brought back to their home countrys where they can finish the sentence ( under more human conditions ) usualy they receive a shortened sentence there... BUT the thai courts just dished out a sentence of i believe 40 years for a thai lady who shared a video on her cellphone showing the recent protests...and it was after they halfed the sentence....!!!!! this is the real tragedy...maybe Peter could lighten up that side of the thai judical system...or the overcrowdetness in thai prisons..maybe tell us about the thai immigration prison...or what happened to street runners under thaksin ( more than 2000 shot with not much of a procedure ) ....show all facettes of the land of smiles and dont forget the grave human rights abuses of the authority's...
I went to Thailand took a girl from the car she ask to marry her I said no and lived happy ever after
But my bar girl is different!!!
its a great shame its not just thai
dating its also ph and russian,gives all dating sites a bad deal
Never ever give second chances unless you want to be a simp that gets used
I got one true story to tell but I am afraid about the length of the story which would cover from year 1985 till 2015. Should I post it to you Peter? Or if you could hit me your email address?
Hi Syed, as a guide I generally like stories to be no longer than 6 to 7 pages using Arial font 14, longer than this I can't really use I'm afraid. Please send to: peter@thailand-bound.com
@@ThailandBound Thanks Peter I would try to some it up but some other day if you don't mind. I am currently located at Sydney, Australia. See you in near future.
@@syedbokhari4279 you poor bugger. Under chairman Gladys, Australia's latest commie leader. I'm so glad I escaped that north Korean style Alcatraz
There is nowt surprising here.

It's appeal is not a narcotic you won't have a problem
First two tales described my ex perfectly, they know exactly how to make you shell out the baht, and basically lead many lives on the sly, don't allow yourself to be one. Obvious lies, apologies, other men on social media, changes of mood for no reason, and so on lol
My ex had a whole family depending on her income also, if I was there we would be travelling which presented problems with them !
If your not living with them in Thailand permanent then %100 expect she will be on the pull. FACT. Lol
Yeah it does seem to be the order of the day when entering into relationships with many a bar girl. I’m sorry to hear you too had a bad experience. Personally I know of a few people who have had better luck and managed to find a genuine loving relationship but I do get the odds of that happening are stacked against you. I guess some people are just lucky.
Keep it up
In Pattaya, the Lady Drink Scam has been around for decades The concept is quite simple. A punter pays 100-150 for a drink for a Girl assuming it is alcohol. Then the Bar switches the drink for water, apple Juice etc and the punter is unaware of the deception
If it was only that it wouldn't be a problem it doesn't matter to the punter what the girl is drinking as long as she stays with him for awhile if he's bought her the drink. The newer drinks scam these days is they ask you for a drink you agree but they come back with a tequila and Red Bull so you now have to pay for two drinks plus she can down the Tequila in about 5 seconds flat.
@@ThailandBound info for everybody, every little bit help take care and God bless
I understand what you're saying Petebut wouldn't you want your subscribers and no or anybody that something like this does exist regardless of his pain for her to sit with him or not it's still a scam it's good that you're going live it does make things a lot easier take care God bless
That first story was hilarious, im sorry but how many different men in the same timespan did she have.
She had about a dozen as i assume we didnt get to hear from them all, what a player.
The guy should have catched on by the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time but no he kept coming back for more :)))
She must have been real pretty and good in bed.
Men dont let these women treat you this way its bad for us all, demand change straigth away if they do this bullshit.
S9rry to hear Kates storry
Hi Pete
Well I thought you were going to pack up when I listened to one of your vlogs a few weeks
past but am happy you have found a partnership with some one else.
In response to something you said it's true there are good ladys out in Thailand but don't
be falled even the ones in the village's no the score.
And the ones that work in the banks or other good jobs you see expats lie as well as the
Thai lady's so my advice just enjoy and all this falling in love is for losers.
Don't lie to them and don't hang on every word they tell you THANK YOU for staying on
UA-cam.
I agree with most of what you have said but honestly, I have several friends who have Thai partners with families and no problems what so ever but obviously I am not talking about bar girls.
Really a touching and movie last story Peter, this happens a lot guy gets the girl to carry the drugs and then she gets caught there is no leniency even when pregnant. Guys gets away with it.. It’s wrong to carry drugs 100% and you know what will happening you get caught ,so young tho influenced by someone else. She accepted the sentence and made the best of what she could. She is lucky to have had sentence reduced. 8 more years then she can see her child maybe she will get lucky and released sooner ,I am going to read more about her case. Prison hasn’t broken her and she sounds so strong and has so much spirit.
Do most of the hotels in Thailand allow you to bring girls back to your room or do I need to be in certain areas.
Every hotel in Thailand allows you to bring girls back to your room the question should really be which hotels charge a joiner fee and which don't
Wow, I don't know what to say about some of these guys who feel that these bar girls have scruples. The majority of the ladies have Thai men in the village. Wake up!
of course , i agee with you , the vast majority of those women are racist , they dont like farangs , they just picture us like a pig , to take advantage of us.
And what about the scruples of the men who buy them ?
No Sympathy for Katie.
she is just making a good income ha ha
I was a fool like this man, you are not alone.?
It is nice to hear a variety of different stories other than the "i got screwed by a bar girl" story. Thanks for sharing 🙏
I simply read out what people send me it's not like I have much of a choice
@@ThailandBound yes i realise that. You do a good job. I have personally learned valuable information from watching your program. Thank You Peter 🙏
Can we provide a petition for this women please
An expat friend of mine told me his sudden fiance asked him for $400 because of (excuses, excuses, excuses), and what was my opinion about it.
My response: "IT'S A TRAP! RUN!"
@@sdickinson5234 I know of a neighbor's daughter who is/was collecting monthly checks from at least two boyfriends in Western countries while at the same time she is married to a local guy who she has two young children with.
I only discovered about the overseas boyfriends when I saw her husband and children moving out of the house for a couple of weeks because one of the money giving guys was coming in town for a visit.
Needless to say, I was the bad guy when I told them they were wrong on many levels for what the mom and her family were doing. They were middle class for their neighborhood and did not need the extra money which was used for showing off with big drunken parties (which all adults in the family joined) and buying fighting cocks.
I never met the Western guys or else I would have told them to save their money.
@@sdickinson5234 The woman my friend found is not a bat girl. I knew her from a chain food stand/ restaurant she worked at. I didn't eat there but she was always smiling and friendly to people walking by. I was always too busy to stop, because I was rushing to my job near by. It was funny when my friend introduced us at dinner because I had seen her almost every day before we officially met.
I overheard this drug story by the person involved, when he was telling it to his friend. Anyway, he was partying in a bar on Sukhumvit Soi 33, and in the private room, he had a large dish with a variety of drugs. Somehow the Boys in Brown (BiB) were tipped off, and they raided that room. He calmly asked the boys, how much they would need to make the problem get away, after some discussion, they gave him a figure of 20,000 Euros (about 723000 THB). He made a call, and within 30 minutes someone brought a bag containing the cash. As the BiB, were about to leave with the cash, they proceeded to take the drugs, where the guy, stopped them, and said, "I've paid you for me to have the drugs here, so leave it here". They left with the cash and let him enjoy the rest of the night.
The third story was like a story from Bangkok Hilton with Nicole Kidman.
There’s at least one video from the series “banged up abroad” of a girl from England caught at Bangkok airport smuggling here on UA-cam.
Sandra Gregory... A lot of Thais are high on drugs.. The lawmakers there are hypocrites.
Don't mess with drugs
Do t mess with wemo . You'll be fine .
The bible says he lays with prostitutes will never have money😊
All my friends warned me about Thai women and they only want money…
My Thai wife lent me money when I lost my bank card, and when we went out she was always buying me stuff of course this was before we were married
So I have never understood the money trap
Best thing that has ever happened to me, my wife lol
It's very important to distinguish the difference between normal, decent Thai women and bar girls. Most of the stories are about Bar girls.
Likewise mate, I wouldn't trade mine in for anything.
You're in the minority. At the end of the day i think it says more about us than them. If the girls faithful, she loves you because you do it for her, if she's not, she simple thinks you're boring and weak. Sadly I'm one of the later but then I only ST to avoid getting screwed over
I have a hardcore view about punishment. After a career in law enforcement i found very few people who have been rehabilitated. I believe if someone receives a death sentence the process of appeals has become absurd. It takes 20 to 30 years to exhaust the appeals process. I think once a death sentence has been given there should be one appeal to the Supreme Court, it has to be heard within six months. If the sentence is upheld then should be carried out within 30 days. Also if a person has received a life sentence without parole then i feel they have been deemed unfit to ever return to society, therefore if deemed so unfit, what is the point in keeping them alive. I think they should also be executed. I have heard the argument that it costs more to execute a person than to keep them incarcerated. If this is true then again this is a failure of the justice system. Like i said my view is harsh but this is my opinion.
I agree
Wow. I hope i never get falsely accused of something by someone with your hang em high viewpoint - especially in a country that is well known for its police corruption.
@@bbwnpat And what country are you referring too ? What is your background ? I have my law degrees, i worked in law enforcement for 12 years, and in all that time i can recount one case where the suspect was innocent. Actually he wasn't innocent, he was convicted but he did straighten his life up after he was convicted and became a responsible citizen. I know there are cases of innocent people being convicted and some of their cases being overturned, but i believe the percentage is less than 1/10th of one percent.
@@rondodson5736 fair play to you Ron. I dont have a degree in law, just an opinion on something i can closely relate to.
@@bbwnpat And i respect your right to have your opinion. I was just stating why i have my opinion and my background. Doesn't make my opinion more valid or more important than yours
I would mind if a girl had to do these things for her family. As long as she's honest, I can get over anything else. I always believe if you are just clear what is what in the beginning, it usually works out ok. I guess if she tells me she's doing this and doesnt rub my nose in it, who cares.. It's Thailand..have fun
Honestly? Well, dats da rub isnt🤣🤣🤣🤣
