Later they were caught by the children's father and he accused all of them including the female mother, sister into Thai court and take legal formality through American embassy to catch New York Thai agent, the fiancee. He put the heaviest accusation to all "Human Trafficking and violations on Thai family related laws" which subject to 5 years jail terms including the female mother who received dowry from the old husband and new husband. This is a tragedy but you will not repeat again.

    RE: My Mom doesn't Like Farangs

    » Your mom is right baby. Most farangs could'nt be entrusted. They consider your country as a backyard brothel that should yield to all their queer demands and nature. They look for cheap sex and free service. Sex that act on the woman as if she were a sex tool that responds automatically without resistance....

    • Anonymous commented : he poor victims. If Thailand caught and punished severely the Thais that are profiting from these atrocities, the supply would dry up. Punish every one from supply to demand. I mean punish to the extreme, like life in prison. But once again, it should not matter what race the offender is. Punish all of them.

    • Anonymous commented : I was doing in Australia and caught the next plane to Bkk the next day, this was after about 3 months (Oct 2005) of chat on internet and telephone. She said to me when I arrived if we can go some were in Thailand and wait till she is 20 yrs old to get a passport legally with out her parents knowing cuase she had not a good relationship with her mum. I said this is not a positive way for a future friendship to develop between us and will not create a strong foundation for our relationship if we have one in the future, so I asked to meet her parents. Her mum and one aunty and her auntys husband came to dinner they accepted me as her boyfriend, I said I will like to try and build a relationship with her and pay for her univeristy and living while she studies. Her mum asked her to be good to me and that was that!!! So I got her an apartment, etc, etc. and returned to Australia, every 3-4 weeks I went to Bkk, I have been returning since October 2005. We chat daily via sms, internet and telephone. She knows I have a business in Australia, but accepted the fact that I am NOT STUPID AND KNOW THE LAWS OF THE STREET. The apartment costs 5,500bht a mth in On Nut and she has a budget to live on that is better than the avaerage salary of 8,000bht a mth in Thailand, so basicaly I did not spiol her nore have I been a cheap charly, I said to her lets go step by step and 'WHAT DO U NEED? As oppossed to how much money do You want? I am very straight forward and honest and some say (her mum & other family members) I am over confident, basicaly I know who I am and express it as I do not believe in FEAR!!! I live the life I love and believe I recieve blessings from above.... I am polite but honest.... On 30 Dec 2005 she asked me if I would like to meet the rest of her family and stay at her grandmothers home in the country 2 hrs drive from Bkk for NYE (1 Jan 2006) and said she has never taken any boy to meet her family ever in the past. I said why not I have had enough party's in my life in many countrys on NYE. So I found myself being driven to her grandmothers house via her auntys and uncles mobile phone store different aunty and uncle from the ones I met months earlier and slept next to her and her grand mother for NYE on the floor!!! I felt touched what can I say....It was pleasant. Since that time I asked her if she wanted to come visit my country being Australia and meet my friends and family and see my lifestyle. She wanted to so much it caused big trouble in her family as her mum would Not get her a passport and in Thailand the law is 20 yrs to get passport legally with out parents permission. So, I asked what next, she replied (knowing that I have never been married or even engaged and that I never planned to marry in this life time) can we please get married just for my parents, she had stated when I first met her that she never wants to marry or have children, which suited me as I have felt the same all my life. I am 36 yrs old now and she is 19 yrs old now, I was 35 when I met her... I am a very young, fit and cool 35 yrs old, 'so I am told'... lol After meeting her mum again and step dad as she grew up with a step dad her real dad did the runner on her mum when she was pregnant to this gal I am writitng about. They accepted me to marry her and asked when? it was decided Sept 2006 and they said one of thier cousins married a english man and he paid 500,000bht and gold to parents as the 'Dowry' (Sin sod or Khan Maak). I said ok can she come to Australia 1st to meet my family and see my country to determine if she wants to live thier and if she likes it so we can plan our future together in a mature and logical way with out pressure and time frames. They said 'NO' marry 1st, and then said have a quik wedding and you can take her. I felt like I was being sold a human being and backed off and told her in front of her parents and one Thai-indian friend I asked to acompany me to this lunch meeting - that I DONT BUY PEOPLE, its Illegal in my country and immoral & degrading according to the way I was raised. We have had many problems since that meeting with her parents. Since that time this young gal has tried to commit suicide, run away from her famliy and myself, she cutt off all communications with me and told me not to marry her as her family are what we had talked about regaing many Thai's and started to treat her as a ATM due to the fact that she had a farang boyfriend, she cheated on me with a other man. I felt It would be best if I hired an interpreting service here in Australia and talk direct to her mum via a Thai interpreter provided by my Govt. services, after that 1 and half hour chat with her mum on the phone that costed over $200AUD I caught a plane to Bkk 3 weeks ago and found her, we spent Sokran festival together on 2 of the Islands after having dinner with her parents and brother and they gave permission...lol...Her step dad said he respects me for bringing her back home after she had left to go live with that Sugar daddy Cult...and that I am a good man he felt... We went away together and spoke in detail about all the events that took place over the past 8 months. I am now back in Australia, and I am a little confussed but feel like I know whats going on. Can anyone tell me what they think of the above even though its in brief and I have cut a long story very short.... I would also like to know if anyone can tell me how much a 'Dowry' is normaly paid to the family? (Amount & Gold) Do legal agreements legaly cover my assets in Thailand? She has said she will sign any legal document from my legal advisers regarding the protection of my assets in Australia... Does a legal registered marriage in Thailand protect the Farang? Or does it differ from a Thai to Thai marriage? She has stated she loves me, and will be loyal as its the Thai culture way and she has been a good person to me over all, so I am split 50/50. No she is Not a Glamour, and not the type of girlfriend I have even dated in my life in any country, she is average looking, tiny/thin and short. But I must say I was and am attracted to her thinking pattern and level of intellect and do see potential as a real life friend/partner or what ever you wish to call it when 2 people have a meeting of the minds 'Soul-Mate? Thanks in advance... Thong Lo (my Thai nick name) lol

    • Anonymous commented : rd them a good education, are caught in a force-field between thai tradition, the expectations of their family, and western-style modernism. Finding the best way for everyone is a complex and subtle challenge. I fully agree that the dowry cannot be a "selling price". This conversely means for me that I am not prepared to negotiate: while I have by no means unlimited funds, the idea of saying "No, that's too much, she's not worth it" is unthinkable. I trust my future parents-in-law, who have brought up my girlfriend (and 5 other children) with care and dedication, to name a sensible amount, and I will accept it. In our case, my girlfriend herself is the one who is negotiating with her parents. Finally, I do see a degree of conflict between the dowry and ongoing support, which my girlfriend has been doing for her family and I am quite prepared to continue in our marriage, as I know it is important to her. I often read of "greedy families", and would venture to suggest that often it is not the parents, who have indeed invested a lot in their child, but other family members who can display greed. Here again, my girlfriend, as the best-educated and highest earner in her family, has been supporting them in the sense of "help towards self-help". My experience is that thai culture is not as binary/black-white as western culture. Things which are opposites in the West are combined in Thailand, often in a way which is not immediately accessible to our "logic". I think the comment in the very first contribution to this forum is the best advice possible: use your brain (but open your heart)!

The guy is now preparing legal process against all people, his wife, her sister, her mother and the hooked up new husband and sue them to Thai court and New York magistrate with many critical, destructive charges against each of them. Unfortunately to this family, this Japanese guy is well educated international journalist and this time he is resolute to root out such fraudulant double marriage, not only custody his own children.
