Just a brief mention of a case I have been helping on for the last couple of days.Tomorrow an Englishman from Nong Wua Sor is to appear in court at Udon charged with the murder of his live in Thai girlfriend earlier this week. I don't want to go into further details at this stage as the accused is registering a claim of not guilty.I am interested in what you think might be the repercussions for future farang / Thai relationships., as already, both my wife and I are getting negative vibes from would be farang brides.Some are deleting their profiles from matchmaking sites. Some have told us they are stopping the chat with farangs on line. There seems to be an air of panic with nearly all saying they are" Gourd Farang"ie: scared.Do you think they should be? Maybe there is a case for a sort of WBU for the ladies. Only today I read in the news of a man in Bangkok charged and sentenced to 3 yearsfor procuring ladies for sexual purposes via a dating site.Are these cases a rarity or are they the tip of the iceberg?There is a govt meeting coming up soon to discuss the very issue of the abuse of Thai women via contact on line, so it must be seen as an increasing problem.What do you think.?
Note to mods: If you think this exceeds the coverage of Udon Thani news please move to an appropiate heading. Thank you.

well, i consider this a good thing, as they may not have the best motives, so maybe reconsidering the risk if not on the up and up. apparently, some farangs are fed up with it, though a bit drastic measure, if applying to this one case. obviously something was wrong with the relationship. one party should of left a long time ago. now 2 lives/families in shambles.

should they be scared of farang on line or would there be any repercussions...why no,why should everyone be tarred with the same brush as the guy in this story, lets face it we don't tarr all the girls the same as the ones that go on-line to rip people off,good and bad everywhere... maybe they will lie low for a while but things would soon get back to normal i am sure, as the lure of $$$ is not easy to resist...as with any dating on-line you got to play it safe....words mean nothing and photos might not be real.

And What harm has been done for all the 'farang' that have been murdered/died mysteriously over the years by GF's and Wifes etc...probably only put a very very small percentage off from a mixed relationship with a Thai i reckon.

Will we get the full 'sp' on a news item i wonder...then we can get a clearer picture.

Trubit says.."For a couple of days" and Earlier this week" and BWD says one was yesterday...so seems two cases have occurred, rather odd 2 happening in the same week....maybe domestic violence as bad as this is more common amongst Thai/farang in Udon as i would i like to think.


"Gourd Farang"......sounded like a Swede saying 'Good Farang',anyway its more like กลัว Glua as in 'Glua Farang' (don't pronounce the 'L').....

Hey, I always thought that murder rate was more of the Thai ladies having their hubbys bumped off for the insurance money or to collect all the assets. So the girlies, on the whole, have nothing to worry about. Now that guys who have set up wills naming certain people as the beneficiary, have more to worry about.

There are many twisted farangs who come to Thailand to take advantage of the situations and do not act honorably. An FBS University would be in order for those Thai ladies seeking advice.

Over time, and by asking the right questions, it should be fairly easy for a Thai lady to ferret out the frauds and those with less than honorable intentions.

Vlads opinion is its an argument with either Money or someone cheating, why are the girls running scared with us farrangs when in a post above was mentioned all the farrangs that have jumped from there condo's ?????? or been murdered by an irate thai b/f who the farrang didn't even know existed. Is it not a case of it is us who should be afraid of whats round the corner message for you Truebrit to the wife remind her of all the farrangs who never came home after a holiday in the LoS.

i always thought anyperson that cannot go out socialise mingle and talk with other persons ,is hiding something.will the goverment be disscusing how to return the money and everything else that was stolen through lies,scams and fraud from people whoes only crime was to trust another human being,will they send letters of condolence to all families of the people stripped of everything including their dignity and self esteem feeling so low and useless took one last step from the balcony of their 10th floor appartment and his thai lady had zoomed in on her next victum before he hit the ground.LOS=LAND OF SAVAGE'S.

If I may remind everyone, before they get sidetracked, this was the question that the OP originally posed:-

Actually I think maybe it's "gluea"(กลัว) as in scared. They love to play-up this abuse
angle so I'm sure there will be repercussions. I mean already we supposedly bite children
and subscribe to no religion etc. We're just a bad lot. I wouldn't marry a farang either.

Yes i already did the Scared/Gourd/Glua/Gluea/กลัว bit.....well nice to know 2 of us read the post and noticed it anyway.

There are two separate topics now BM, - this one in the Relationships Forum, and the other in the News Forum. The Forum headings and topic titles should make it clear which is intended to cover what.

This thread has now been split to remove off topic material. Please keep to the new topic title or posts will be removed.






Mod Note -some subsequent off topic posts removed.

i cant really believe they would be spooked by 1 case of murder , theres a pot of gold to be had from a good farang hubby so i reckon they will keep on trying come what may .They are not stupid enough to think all farangs are potential killers ,they would know if someone had caused trouble and just shrug and say som nom nah ..my future hubby will be different

I think lots of reactionary issues apply in Thailand for many reasons, inc this one mentioned.

Remember the copy 1000 baht bills last month, all gone now, water under the bridge.

Significant numbers of Ratchuphat students have cancelled their HI5 websites, due to investigations of government departments into ongoing prostitution being sold on this site.

Most of the girls cancelled coz they are just scared of the cyber police , and not having anything to do with the suposedly seedy side of HI5.
