"Wanted to rescue her from the bar scene". "Never used protection". After she lied and spent his money on gambling debts, "I started sending her 120,000 -140,000 baht a month". This guy has the sense of a 3 year old.
Statistically speaking the majority of men that get dragged into these situations appear to have been emotionally damage recently weather is the break up of a long-term relationship or the death of a relative I'm sure this is seen as a golden opportunity by most bar girls also I'm sure they are aware that many people in the Western world inherit from a family member when they pass away particularly a parent this poor guy probably had a target on his back and didn't even know it
I was married to a gambling addict in the USA. Finally had to take my kids and leave before we were out living in the street. She didn't care about her husband, her home, her kids, or anything at all except gambling. There is no end to the misery living with a person like that. They will destroy you and everyone close to her. Getting out of it and divorcing her was the best thing I could have done. I feel for you mate. Good luck. (I'd buy her a one way ticket back to Bangkok)
Good morning Dan. I am constantly amazed at how many girls need 'rescuing' here in Thailand! All the knights in shining armor just 'jumping in' to an 'uncharted' situation. A little wisdom that may be employed, just observe from a distance and try to stay away! The departure lounge at Suvarnabhumi is generally full of bankrupt foreign heroes! They never learn!
A white knight story. Those are always so wholesome. Girls in the bars are basically uneducated peasants with aspirations. Various addictions are common among that cohort. The same applies to their male relatives. Things like this will never occur if guys learn to stick to ST only. If you so badly want a companion that loves you , but that you can completely trust, get a dog. For everything else, there are Gogos and maid services.
Generally speaking, meeting a thai girl for a serious relationship in pattaya or patong is usually a very bad idea. The heavily tourist areas breed hustlers.
I had a gambling problem until I hit the jackpot and now I can retire in Thailand forever lol but that was my main purpose is to hit the jackpot and retire in Thailand, and I did it LOL so now it's all Easy Living from here on out in Thailand.
@@thaitalkwithdan yeah I hit the jackpot of $2 million dollars. It took me 2 years to hit that jackpot. Now I'm just waiting on the money to hit my bank account so I can move to Thailand.
@@thaitalkwithdan yeah I had that gambling addiction bad. I will spend all my extra money to play the lotto. I gave up on cookies and other types of snacks just so I can play. But now it paid off! It's amazing what $10 a day would do LOL
Hey Dan, thanks to Karim for sharing, I feel for the brother. My wife is Thai and we live in the uk but I e been very lucky as she’s not In to gambling, however her aunt is a prolific gambler and has used my wife’s name as a guarantor to secure loans for her gambling, funny thing was, my wife wasn’t even in Thailand so obviously when she found out she went ballistic. We live next door to the police chief of our area in Thailand so the loan sharks couldn’t do anything, anyways mate I wish Karim all the best and once again thanks for sharing and keep up the good work 👍🏼
😳 I think that might make people think twice about having kid's with someone who's a bit crazy, I'm not sure many people could put up with all that like he did
Had a good friend in London who was a very successful market trader. Made £2,000 a week, every week, big money in the 80's and 90's. He lost a 4 bedroom semi house in willesden, and a 3 bed flat near Wembley. This is in addition to circa a mil or 2, he had some good wins and chucked it back. Really liked him, but the moods swings he had were unbelievable, always thought he would top himself during a bad time. Thank god he had a great girlfriend. Gambling sucks the life out of the families
That's a sad story. Seems the loss of his mum made Karim quite vulnerable at the start so he kind of fell for the first seemingly nice lady he met..then when the red flags appeared he was already emotionally invested. Hope it all works out for you karim.
I don't know what it is about the Thai ladies which makes them so partial to gambling!!! I know 2 Thai massage parlour managers here in Manchester who are addicted to gambling!!! They've been in the business for around 15 years and they've not got a pot to piss in!!!! Every single penny has been spent at the casino!!!! SMDFH!!!! I can't help but sympathise with this man!!! What a fuckin ordeal!!! I truly hope things work out for the sake of his daughter!!! Nice one bruv!!! All the best to you and your family!!!!
Yet another case of mood swings and violence - combined with the 'thinking gives me headaches, so I'll just act up' attitude. Must be genetic; just a few broken individuals in the past could have caused it.
Just had a Thai girl kicking off because I wouldn’t go and meet her but when she told me she just lost £1600 in casino the other month I just couldn’t believe someone could do this. I think this is common with Thai girls.
no story is too long! lol... Karim: sounds like a good time to send her back to Thailand and get a good wife. she can't take the daughter back and probably doesn't want her anyway.
Gambling is s terrible vice. many Thai girls do it. No good being a nice person in Thailand some girls try to take advantage of you .Sad story especially when children involved.
Gambling. Worse than drug addiction! Married in Bangkok in 85. My wife did not drink nor smoke and was a damned decent girl, a good mother to our kids. I took her back to Aust and we resided in the state of Victoria. A state that had sworn for many years never to introduce gambling. With all the excuses used we see today, The state next door had legalized gambling, NSW. And there were the usual whinges about all the money leaving the Victorian state. We went into the Thai Restaurant business and we did well. Too well. Then the Labor Government sent the state well and truly broke and introduced Legalised Gambling to pull them out of the shit. Then things went downhill. She became addicted to gambling, mostly by Poker Machines which grew everywhere! In every pub and club in the joint. Like a mug I was asked to rejoin the navy, and on advice from my wife, I did, And went intrerstate. Leaving my wife to it. Cutting a long story short I returned and found out all about what was going on. It was futile. Nothing I could do. So I left and went to live with my mother in law in Bangkok. She finished up losing everything. Like many Thais where I come from did. The money, the house, the business, the bloody lot! Skint! She finished up returning to Thailand too, She knows what she did and is very sorry for that. We are good friends, although not partners now, we are as good friends now as we once were. It was a powerful addiction. Which many Thais where I came (Victoria) from bore the same fate. The past is the past and that is the way it is. As I said Gambling is far worse than any other addiction. She is over it all today and thank God for that.
My God Russell. This is so close to my life story, right down to the restaurant and poker machines in Victoria. (Effing Joan Kirner 1991). We got married in 1992 in Melbourne. Non-drinker, non-smoker, well educated, good mother. Unbelieveable. Ran a successful restaurant for almost 20 years and got absolutely nothing to show for it but debts. A cash business and a gambling addiction are poison together. Yep, worse than drugs.
@@shadmo8629 Yes mate, a fair dinkum bastard. Joan Bloody Kirner! Enuf said! Should not let the Thai girls take all the blame though, many, many Australian women suffered the same fate. I knew many. Too many! Especially in those early days, even grandmothers were being sent to jail for various money offences due to gambling! Never knew any hard drug cases but I knew many addicted female gamblers and their poor husbands! Gambling is huge in Australia. Not my go, I worked too hard for my money.
I make almost USD$200k/year and my 2 y/o son lives in the US. I send him $600/month. Whenever his mom (who also works) asks for more, I tell her to keep a log of everything she actually spends ON HIM and she shuts up. Here’s this fool sending a random woman, who has a gambling problem and lives in a developing country, USD$3-4k/month. Unbelievable.
It is depressing to see men who disrespect themselves. It is harmful to other men, and to society in general when certain guys finance poor behavior. Letting people go off on you, through temper tantrums, and generally not appreciate your efforts is BS! How can a guy pay a gambler money and then is surprised she is a compromised human being? Where were his real male friends to go upside his immature head? Man up or stay away from women.
They have a number of gambling apps on their phones. I knew a freelancer in Pattaya who spent all her money on gambling and was always broken. So, I had very mixed feelings for her: a pity for her gambling addiction and a clear understanding that I had to keep my distance from the girl because getting too close to her would be a disaster.
The problem is that we are limiting our interaction to ladies in tourist areas. These ladies are quite different from an average Thai lady. Unfortunately, on top of knowing English (or at least being interested in the interaction with farangs) they have bad traits like gambling and substance addictions, the sex work background (a lot of women in tourist areas are doing part time sex work), and unrealistic expectations (one Issan girl gets a free house from a Western simp and all her village friends flock to Pattaya to hit the same jackpot). I think there are many decent women in Thailand but 1. They do not speak English. So, we need to learn Thai to talk to them. 2. They are not into dating random strangers. So, we need to get introduced by common friends and, therefore, it takes time to get involved in the local circles enough to get introduced to decent women. I think it is perfectly normal. If you want to date a decent woman, you need to be something better than another butterfly.
"Wanted to rescue her from the bar scene". "Never used protection". After she lied and spent his money on gambling debts, "I started sending her 120,000 -140,000 baht a month". This guy has the sense of a 3 year old.
Yep he did everything wrong that you could possibly do wrong.
Absolutely, and this is repeated behavior from these dudes. Simpletons for certain. I can't even believe he admits how foolish he is.
Its sad that happened to him
Very sad .
Statistically speaking the majority of men that get dragged into these situations appear to have been emotionally damage recently weather is the break up of a long-term relationship or the death of a relative I'm sure this is seen as a golden opportunity by most bar girls also I'm sure they are aware that many people in the Western world inherit from a family member when they pass away particularly a parent this poor guy probably had a target on his back and didn't even know it
Red flag…he knew she was a gambler and her family dis-owned her…always meet the family and see if they are functioning normal….and happy…👍🏻
This man is a very good man , hats of to you. Your children are your life , your a legend.

Gambling addicts are no different than drug addicts. Glad you got away from her with the kids.
In a dugout canoe, with one oar

You said it perfectly in 3 words “ THEY NEVER LEARN.”

The maids are always too ugly for me 😆
My dirty maid @ bangbros 🤣🤣
It never works out well to stay together for the kids. Divorce her send her back to Thailand. You and your daughter get on with your life.
WOW! What a great guy, hope he finds happiness soon.

Morning Dan
What do the Thai's gamble on and is it all online? is it casino gambling or sports gambling?.
Hi Lo, pok daeng, what fly will leave the wall first, anything and everything.
All the above!!!
They have a number of gambling apps on their phones.
I knew a freelancer in Pattaya who spent all her money on gambling and was always broken.
So, I had very mixed feelings for her: a pity for her gambling addiction and a clear understanding that I had to keep my distance from the girl because getting too close to her would be a disaster.
Time and time again bad stories I wish some one would do a thread on all success stories. I know their out there.
The problem is that we are limiting our interaction to ladies in tourist areas.
