My Thai Friendly dating app story how I lost money, Bangkok Criminal Lawyer, Police Statement in Bangkok

After I went through a hard time in Bangkok, I started to lose trust in the police, in fairness, and in good lawyers in both Cambodia and Thailand. It began when I talked to Sandy on a social dating app called THAI FRIENDLY. Sandy liked to talk and was nice to be around, but she was not really the dream person I had in my mind. We often met at my condo in Samut Prakan, and I liked those times. As more time went by, I started to think about us being together one day, if she would be ready to change. One day, Sandy went to me feeling upset. She said that three men had taken over her apartment by force. This left her feeling scared, and she could not get help from the police because it was private property. She explained that Thai Police won't help her and Police in Thailand is different that in Europe. I thought about asking her to stay with me, but I did not do it, because of what happened in the past. Instead, Sandy asked if I could lend her 10,000 THB so she could get a new place...

Scammed in Thailand: My 1 Million THB Lesson in Bueng Kan Province Next To Loas Border

 I got scammed in Bueng Kan, Thailand, and lost almost 1 million THB. This Bueng Kan scam was tough for me, and it really made me lose trust in traveling. I lost close to a million Thai Baht because someone tricked me in what I thought was a safe and peaceful part of Thailand. I feel I should share this story. This story is not just about the pain that I feel. It is about helping other travelers. You may find yourself in the same spot. Scams can be found everywhere. You must know the place and the tricks people use. That will change how things go. Getting tricked in Thailand is nothing new. Still, every time it happens, there is something that we learn for next time. Bueng Kan can often be missed when people plan trips. It sits in northeastern Thailand right next to the Mekong River. The area has calm views, places to learn about culture, and life moves slower here than in big cities. People visit Bueng Kan to get real sights and feel little crowds. But even though the place is li...

Police Statement or Scam? My Fight Against Corruption in the Condominium Jurisdiction Office

Image
Corruption in Thailand’s condominium offices is a big problem for people who own or live in these buildings. These offices should help run and look after condos. But now there is bribery, cheating, and people in charge doing wrong things. This does not just mess with papers. It can hurt the safety, money, and lives of many people who stay there. I decided to tell the anti-corruption police about what was going on because of my own feelings and what happened to me. I saw things like a stolen computer, cash, USD, EURO, and a car. All of these had to do with the office's work. I knew that if I did not speak up, the problem would get worse. I was worried I might face trouble with a police statement scam or that I could be tricked again. But I wanted things to be fair, so I chose to act. This blog shows how I tried to stand up to the problem inside the condominium office. It tells you how these tricks happen. I also talk about the trouble I faced when I tried to let people know about th...
