Murders should be put to death. It’s sad that criminals like him get free meals, medical and get to live while the one they killed is gone and the family is left suffering.
@@UTCM And suffer he will if he only gets life for murder. Thai jails are no joke. Although maybe in this case he should face the death penalty? It’s just not right the taking of another’s life.
The death penalty saves the victims families from a life time knowing that he or she is alive and being fed and getting free medical. In the United States they live pretty good in prison.
You have to have an open mind and except differences . Even though they seem against your nature . And that works both ways . Those of us that do lead very happy lives . Those that don't live in turmoil.
Too many older farang arrive looking for a bride 20 or 30 years younger . . . My wife is actually a few months older than I am. The maturity and similar perspective on life has certainly been a big help :)
Thats a question I have asked myself many times over the years . In many cases I ve worked . Killing another person to me is un thinkable unless its a choice of life or death .
Thank you Bill for this one, and all your videos: What you said about Lek and you living for 6 years in the USA, I can really relate to, I understand exactly what you were saying how at first it was difficult for her; My wife and I were married in Vietnam, and we lived there for 5 years until we came home to the USA. It was difficult for her at first to adapt, I found Asian grocery stores for her to buy her food, and eventually she made friends with other Vietnamese women, she even learned to drive and she went to work; Our children grew up and we have several grandchildren. We had been married for 43 years when she died of a stroke, It was a wonderful marriage.
They usually dont take your passport or flag it . They should . Thailand doesnt check criminal history if you are married to a Thai coming in as a spouse .
That man made a lot of bad decisions. When I was in Thailand I always treated the Thais with respect and set a good example. It's embarrassing when westerners behave like that.

@Unseen Thailand In Chiang Mai I love your presentation and story telling. No beating around the bushes, or dragging on and on. I live in California and my wife is from Roi Et. We will be spending at least half time in Thailand when we retire in 3 years.
I really like your style of videos where you tell a story while looking around Chiang Mai. I also love the place and am looking forward to coming back for the first time in over two years in November. Thank you for your videos mate.
A very interesting story and I was surprised when you said you weren't in favor of the death penalty. I personally am in favor of it because It is so expensive to house these guys for the next 30 to 60 some odd years and I don't believe the taxpayers should have to be burden with that cost. Besides that they don't deserve to live any longer. I worked undercover narcotics for the state of California when I was young and had a partner that was tortured and murdered by some very bad people and I have no sympathy for them frying in the chair.
My feelings are I want them to suffer , death is too good for them . But your correct it would cost money . I ve got one guy now back in the USA I m waiting for the day ! I ll drink the first beer I ve had in 30 years the day it happens ...
@@UTCM, I didn't mention about my brother being murdered. They say only one guy did it but we know it was 3 of them. He was a cook in a prison and he was walking them back to the cell area. They jumped him and stabbed him over 100 times. There were puncture the size of an ice pick, the size of a pencil and slices, and many other types of wounds. It almost drove my Mom crazy. Sometimes you can't depend on the courts to do what is right so you just have to take care of things yourself. Moving on, did I understand it correctly that you live in Chiang Mai? In the 15 years I've been living in Thailand I have never been there, probably because I have never had a car. I'm in the process next week, I bought a Honda 350 bike. One of the places I want to see is Chiang Mai. I won't be using my bike until I get the sidecar put on it. I have a balance problem so it worries me that I might dump it in the middle of the intersection like last time. Maybe we can get together when I come up your way. It will probably be sometime in October. I will subscribe to your channel so we can keep in touch.
@@theadventuresofbrockinthai4325 Thats bad I had a friend that worked in a prison . I was about to be stabbed and a sharp shooter on the wall saw it and took the guy out . John Gacey was one of his inmates
Everything you say is true but how many people were convicted and found to be innocent? How many have been killed for smoking some pot....which is now legal BTW.
What a tragic story. Speaking as someone with absolutely no experience of anything remotely like this, its very difficult to get into the mindset of someone acting like this. Dont agree with capital punishment either , lock them up and make them work to pay for it.
Recently joined your channel and really enjoy your stories and the sights as you walk along. Never been to Chang Mia only as far as Nong Kia, been to most places in the south. Married to a Thai girl originally from Beu Yai but lived in Bangkok where she went to University and headed up a department in a large hospital. Anyway love your videos and keep them coming Mike from Australia
@@UTCM Didn't he tried to kill her back in the state twice. right? But her "money hungry" stubb0rn stupid azz still want to be with him and having his baby. Also, she is a grown azz woman and know exactly who she's dealing with. So, I don't feel sorry for her.. 🙃
is he shore it was his I know it sounds harsh but I've had 2 girls get cold not wanting sex then one day I came home early and cought her in the act with another guy is he shore she wasn't cheating on the us side I now have a beautiful Thai wife and we have a great relationship we talk through everything and communicate extremely well and we have a great relationship and love each other with all our hearts
Ive been going to thailand for the last 25 years. The stories are horific. I know many myself. I had a freind who lashed out a fatal blow to his wife. He end up in prision. After about 6 months thew his self off the top of the prision did not survive. Alcohol play a massive part and lack of money leads to crime. Thailand is far from paradise
thanks for the info and sights, a real pleasure to tune in...sad that there is far too much evil in this world...it is no wonder that people sometimes just take care of these psychopaths themselves...thanks
If you cant control your emotions stay in your country! Dont just kill because off frustration. My ex girlfriend from Philipines was so quarellsome. What i did was very simple i break up with her so many woman in the world 🤷♀️
I knew Pritchiporn. She was the loveliest of people. She contacted me not long before her demise. She was miserable in her marriage. He clearly wasn’t a good person. I hope he gets what he deserves.
I think nothing is too harsh for him. Its pitty in these situations there is not many places ladys can turn to for support. People criticize them for remaining , but getting out is not a simple as it sounds. I blame the cops in the states as well , they could have done more , and he should not been out walking the streets ..
He ruined his life when He started befriending a criminal that probably, He induced him to become a bad boy. " tell me, who your friends are and I will tell you who you are"
I used to work for US Government and conducted fugitive apprehension with the US Marshal's in the Pacific. Dont know now but we just didn't have the budget /man power we only went after huge profiled cases. Laos always gave us the most difficultly Thai government was alot more cooperative.
Perhaps the reason Laos does not "cooperate" is because you yanks dropped MILLIONS of bombs on their country.They are still killing and wounding them every year.
I've read some books on farang's who have spent time in A Thailand prison on drug charges and it is nasty and degrading and if you don't have baht on your book your royally screwed.
Hello just subscribe to you found your channel amazing , I am a expat living in Baguio city Philippines and have been interested in visiting Thailand gonna watch in reverse you got great info maybe I could ask questions and get info later on when I decide to make the trip.
Thank you !! I have a Panama City Beach story too . I am not sure what year it was would have been maybe 1996 97 98 , I had a case where three kids car jacked a guy and shot his wife in the process . I was certain it was a set up by the husband about to jerk his butt into federal court in front of a grand jury . When I got a call from Panama City beach police . 3 kids had been eating skipped out on there bill got into a chase with the police and rolled the car , they were all caught . My partner and I had to come down process the car , then transport the kids back to Tennessee . The detectives down there set us up in a really nice hotel on the ocean it was Saint Patrick's day and there was an Irish Bar across the street .... Those kids all got tried as adults and sent to Federal prison one managed to escape years later ...
Glad they caught him, just a pity he did not fall down the stairs a few times on the way to the police station! I often feel, the biggest threat in Thailand is not from the Thais, its from other foreigners!
No, there are bad people in Thailand, but generally speaking, your chances of having dealings or encounters with them are quite a bit lower than many other places. I spent quite a lot of time Thailand. You're more likely to encounter scammers and racists that are everywhere, usually being the higher population and tourist areas.
@@ZommBleed There are bad people everywhere, its just a matter of wrong place at the wrong time. I agree they certainly do the passive racism, hence foreigners pay more to do the same as Thai's at many locations.
@@ZommBleed As a Thai person, I totally agree. There are evil and good people all over the globe. Thailand is a beautiful country but some the local are no angel. People need to stop lying to themselves and other.
Interesting one, William. Thanks. I would have thought that once this guy (the “perp”) jumped bail and skipped town the cops would have picked up on his connection with Thailand and alerted the Thai authorities to the fact he was Wanted in the US and as such was likely an “Undesireable” here. Of course it’s unlikely they could seek to extradite him but there’s usually a “ ways and means” whereby they could refuse him entry or to extend his visa.
That might have made a difference . They may not have been aware he was gone until his court date . But probation officer should have . But yes they wouldn't have brought him back anyway.
I don't agree with you, to be put to death and lose your life is the worst punishment, they say they put you to sleep first, but who really knows what agony one endures when the poisons run through your veins
Very good story. I spent a week in Chaing Mai in May 2012. I had an American buddy who was parked out there, as well some guy I knew from my youth there, who spent many years--and eventually died--in Bangkok. I liked it, but it scared me a bit. I feared that if I came to Thailand to live, I'd end up drinking in bars every night and be as lonely as I perceived many of the American, Australian, New Zealander and European guys I'd talked to in these bars. I never went back. Still, there's a small part of me still there and that's why I watch many videos about the lives of foreigners in Thailand.
Its a trap you can fall into some do sadly . But there is so much to see and do here if you have some motivation you can stay clear of that . Its good to have a hobby and have a good outlook on life and your pretty safe from falling in that hole ...
It sounds like you were describing a more subservient type of relationship or expectation with his wife which would only make sense to a point when he stopped honoring and respecting her the whole subservient thing goes out the window. This guy was trouble it was only a matter of time some people can't shake that deviant mentality. The fact that he could do such harm to his wife and on that level is disturbing this guy had deeper issues. All the shops and temples are really nice to see a lot of intricate details in much of what you have shown.
Bill, an evil man indeed. Thanks for telling us the story and showing parts of Chiang Mai, most tourists probably never see 🙏😊 On the 74 guns found in their possession, it seems to me that they were possibly selling them on. Anyway keep up the splendid vlogs 🙏😊🇬🇧
I just retired, my wife came a year ago on a k1. We had known each other 3 years. We are married now she is content, but although her english is perfect, since she cant work its Hard for her to make friends. Waiting on her green card, but our long term plan is to move to thailand. It is work to understand our cultural differences, but we are acclimating well.
Takes time for sure . I was fortunate she was able to work pretty quickly and perfected her English complete with southern slang . Be 18 years this month . 12 of them here in Thailand , no regrets . You can email me if you like .
Did nt the cops confiscate his passport? two bullet holes in a wall and no doubt an unlicensed firearm and he's not incarcerated until he comes up for Trial?and then the 79 guns in the car while on probation? how much evidence do American cops need to put a guy away?if so that poor girl would still be with us today.
@@UTCM In the Uk if you commit a serious offense and if you are bailed pre-trial you always submit you're passport to the Court as a condition of Bail......America needs to sharpen up because that could stop people fleeing America going abroad and committing more crime.
@@louisdisbury9759 In all my years as an investigator I ve never seen this done in the USA . In high profile cases I have heard of it being done . My thoughts in this situation he should have never been let out of jail the 2 nd time
I don't know if he deserves it or not. Did not follow the trial. But, how sad is it when he faces the death penalty when "Boss" is allowed to flee the country and extradition is now going to happen
Terrible story😣BTW. Have you heard that filming people on the streets will be forbidden in the future? Or you ask everybody before you filming them. But you can't ask everybody you meet on the streets can you?
Thats not the law . The law is its fine if they are in your video as your walking . If you get up close and in there face best to ask first . I always did that anyway . Yes I agree sad that someone lost there life , good he will rot in a Thai jail . Lazy laws in the USA can be held responsible .
Thank you for a walk in my neighbourhood. If you had continued straight towards Baan Bakery, but taken the first to the right in Rat Chiang Saen soi 1K you would come to Petcharatana Court. If you go in there my wife or daughter might invite you for a cup of coffee. Give greetings from me, Lung Ben :-)
I will try to make it by there at some point . I did another walk up there I may have walked by it then .... ... Thats such a neat area to walk around most places have been left natural as they were ......
Mix one part Western male egotism with two parts Eastern female stubbornness and... WHAM-O! The Orient is a great vacation spot. However, for making long term whoppi, I prefer Europe. Ciao.
I remember seeing this case on the news. The CCTV in Thailand rivals England's. If he does life instead of being executed, he'll certainly experience harsh prison conditions.
Omg Rip wife and baby READ THE USA 🇺🇸 NEWS ON HIM My my my WHAT A CASE HE IN TROUBLE BAD BOY UH FELON ESCAPED TO THAILAND 🇹🇭 KARMA CAUGHT ⬆️ WITH HIM DEFINITELY GOTTA WATCH WHO you CALL FRIEND
If you get a felony charge in California after 90 days they will come and get You anyplace in the world.Happened to me in 1998.But after I got of prison in 2000 I came to Thailand in 2001 to 2010 on 3 month visa's an really kept my nose clean,clean in Thailand.
I know last year when I tried to get my Retirement Visa in the US I had to get a FBI Background Check and a State Check. But when I got it in Thailand it was not required. MyThai Wife was already living in the US with me for 13 years.
Interesting story. But very sad indeed. More proof of the importance of leaving your culture at home when traveling in Thailand. Plus you do not want to spend time in a Thai jail. I have heard the condition in a Thai jail are one of the harshest in the world.
So hi...saw your video and I am sitting now in the restaurant you said,the ribs good ,in front of burger box...by the way ,they open 11am-9pm...maybe I see you walking..I know that's your time usually
@@UTCM ok...so maybe we can see one day and have together a supper or drink..thankx a lot..food is very good as you said. I am living in lamphun so not every day in Chiang mai
So freaky just read this suitcase killer shane looker from 8 year old crime is to be sentenced tomorrow. Odd coincidence! He was extradited from Spain.
Social media has long been awash with stories of "Farang males being done wrong" but how many Thai girls have been led down the garden path (so to speak)over the years, and the foreigner has just flown out never to be seen again, leaving the girl and her family to cope for themselves?
Many more lying and cheating farangs coming here, usually on holiday with a short term visa. Fills the girl full of promises and hope. Many of them have wives at home to boot. Pathetic
Cross cultural relationships and very difficult. Language barrier as well as cultural concepts that are new/different from your own. Has been a huge issue in my relationship but with the difficulty of communicating some issues it always makes me evaluate- is this even worth an arguement? Language barrier cutting down on the fights lol
I was fortunate Lek for the most part spoke very good English. And I had read up on her culture . For her she jumped right into things state side and saw with her own eyes . Made life much easier for both of us , then and now living here .
1 Hes where he should be . 2 He has a Terminal case of the Dumb-ass 3 Divorce is so easy , he should have made that choice! 4 i just Joined your channel you tell a Good Story ! Thanks !
That may have been his plan , who knows . Im just happy he is where he belongs and he ll be there a good while . Thats one law I wish they would change . Should be no statute on Rape and murder .
No sewage treatment here all septic tanks the tanks are plastic, and periodically need to be sucked out by big vacuum trucks and contents dumped hopefully not in the river.
@@UTCM Many clean rivers in Thailand even the Mae Ping if you are north of Chiangmai. The Kok tiver Chiangrai is very clean it enters Thailand from the Burmese wilderness..
I have absolutely no sympathy for this excuse for a human being, controversially I agree with the death penalty in this case, as even though the other inmates will treat him with the respect that he deserves (NOT), and they will cordially give him a frequent beating, which the guards will never see. I don't believe that the taxpayers should have to pay for looking after him effectively. Over the last 2 decades, I have traveled to Thailand 21+ times so the Westerners I meet that call Thailand home, are on the whole good people, but there are plenty of wannabe mafia types that nobody back home would tolerate, without reading to them about their short life with a lot of pain horoscope. A good Vlog though mate, keep it up.
Her mistake was not leaving after the first incident. Women coming to the West for the first time need to learn about the resources available to them, so they do not feel trapped in a dangerous relationship. She definitely shouldn't have continued the relationship in Thailand. Psychos don't change. If she had pressed charges in the US, she probably could have got him in prison and received a divorce and temporary assistance and eventually found the man she deserved. Everyone needs to be able to reassess their initial evaluation of someone when presented with new evidence. It is difficult to do if you are in love, but it is critical if the person is evil.
I agree with you 100% Problem is most of the time they dont have any clue there are ways to get help . There in a different country scared and dont know where to turn. I fault the police in the US about this . It could have been prevented had they done a proper job .
@@UTCM I don't blame you. Between the divorce raping western women, Affirmative Action, and now race on race crime, I'm glad to be out of that shite hole country. Let it rot.
I like listening to your stories. You have a relaxed and pleasant voice, easy to listen to.
Thanks Charlie ! It's the southern boy in me !
@@UTCM The "South" has a long and fine tradition of storytelling.
Agreed 💯
Murders should be put to death. It’s sad that criminals like him get free meals, medical and get to live while the one they killed is gone and the family is left suffering.
Death is too good for them they need to suffer
I totally agree.
@@UTCM And suffer he will if he only gets life for murder. Thai jails are no joke. Although maybe in this case he should face the death penalty? It’s just not right the taking of another’s life.
A free meal in a Thai jail is a handful of rice and some maggots for protein.
The death penalty saves the victims families from a life time knowing that he or she is alive and being fed and getting free medical. In the United States they live pretty good in prison.
A mixed couple has to learn each other. Being an older man, I married an older Thai lady. We do very well together.
You have to have an open mind and except differences . Even though they seem against your nature . And that works both ways . Those of us that do lead very happy lives . Those that don't live in turmoil.
Just celebrated our 48th anniversary, our Thai-American marriage has worked out through many pressures, we’re still happy and listening to each other.
Age counts
Too many older farang arrive looking for a bride 20 or 30 years younger . . . My wife is actually a few months older than I am. The maturity and similar perspective on life has certainly been a big help :)
You sly old dog. How much is she worth?
He just threw his whole life away over a series of bad decisions . Why couldn’t he just walk away from the marriage that would have been so easy .
Thats a question I have asked myself many times over the years . In many cases I ve worked . Killing another person to me is un thinkable unless its a choice of life or death .
Agreed! As a retired CO...Life without parole there would be fitting....Time to think about his son or daughter. A sad case.
Yes sad people do crazy stuff like that . But we know they do !

Thank you !! I have a Panama City Beach story too . I am not sure what year it was would have been maybe 1996 97 98 , I had a case where three kids car jacked a guy and shot his wife in the process . I was certain it was a set up by the husband about to jerk his butt into federal court in front of a grand jury . When I got a call from Panama City beach police . 3 kids had been eating skipped out on there bill got into a chase with the police and rolled the car , they were all caught . My partner and I had to come down process the car , then transport the kids back to Tennessee . The detectives down there set us up in a really nice hotel on the ocean it was Saint Patrick's day and there was an Irish Bar across the street .... Those kids all got tried as adults and sent to Federal prison one managed to escape years later ...
At least he will not be spending time in a single cell with aTV and a game boy!
It wont be pleasant thats for sure . And he deserves worse treatment possible.
New sub! Love your videos
Thank you ! Glad your enjoying my style !
Just found your channel , really enjoying it. Love your relaxed style .!sound seems to come and go , not sure if that’s just on my end ?
Thank you . Think its on your end I hear everything fine ! Glad you enjoy the video !!!!! And my style !!!
@@UTCM thought that . thanks for replying . I’m now going to check out the rest of your channel . Thanks for great content ❤️
@@Annemarie01967 Thanks hope you enjoy them !!!
Very good story, and great narration! Looks a lot like the Philippines, which is where I will end up retiring to some day with my wife.
Thank you ! I'd say very simular .
Another good one Bill, what an evil guy, beggars belief what some people do!
Very evil
Glad they caught him, just a pity he did not fall down the stairs a few times on the way to the police station! I often feel, the biggest threat in Thailand is not from the Thais, its from other foreigners!
Your exactly right . Thai people will show you the same respect or more , you show them .
No, there are bad people in Thailand, but generally speaking, your chances of having dealings or encounters with them are quite a bit lower than many other places. I spent quite a lot of time Thailand. You're more likely to encounter scammers and racists that are everywhere, usually being the higher population and tourist areas.
@@ZommBleed There are bad people everywhere, its just a matter of wrong place at the wrong time. I agree they certainly do the passive racism, hence foreigners pay more to do the same as Thai's at many locations.
@@ZommBleed As a Thai person, I totally agree. There are evil and good people all over the globe. Thailand is a beautiful country but some the local are no angel. People need to stop lying to themselves and other.
Excellent presentation of a story and important topics to consider. Well done
Thank you !
Interesting one, William. Thanks.
I would have thought that once this guy (the “perp”) jumped bail and skipped town the cops would have picked up on his connection with Thailand and alerted the Thai authorities to the fact he was Wanted in the US and as such was likely an “Undesireable” here.
Of course it’s unlikely they could seek to extradite him but there’s usually a “ ways and means” whereby they could refuse him entry or to extend his visa.
That might have made a difference . They may not have been aware he was gone until his court date . But probation officer should have . But yes they wouldn't have brought him back anyway.
I don't agree with you, to be put to death and lose your life is the worst punishment, they say they put you to sleep first, but who really knows what agony one endures when the poisons run through your veins
Nice temple. What is the name?
Yes very nice Wat Thatkam - Buddhist temple

Very good story. I spent a week in Chaing Mai in May 2012. I had an American buddy who was parked out there, as well some guy I knew from my youth there, who spent many years--and eventually died--in Bangkok. I liked it, but it scared me a bit.
I feared that if I came to Thailand to live, I'd end up drinking in bars every night and be as lonely as I perceived many of the American, Australian, New Zealander and European guys I'd talked to in these bars. I never went back. Still, there's a small part of me still there and that's why I watch many videos about the lives of foreigners in Thailand.
Its a trap you can fall into some do sadly . But there is so much to see and do here if you have some motivation you can stay clear of that . Its good to have a hobby and have a good outlook on life and your pretty safe from falling in that hole ...
It sounds like you were describing a more subservient type of relationship or expectation with his wife which would only make sense to a point when he stopped honoring and respecting her the whole subservient thing goes out the window. This guy was trouble it was only a matter of time some people can't shake that deviant mentality. The fact that he could do such harm to his wife and on that level is disturbing this guy had deeper issues.
All the shops and temples are really nice to see a lot of intricate details in much of what you have shown.
Bill, an evil man indeed. Thanks for telling us the story and showing parts of Chiang Mai, most tourists probably never see 🙏😊
On the 74 guns found in their possession, it seems to me that they were possibly selling them on. Anyway keep up the splendid vlogs 🙏😊🇬🇧
Thanks Martin , that's my guess too . Had the system dealt with him state side like they should have . This never would have happened .
@@UTCM Too true
I just retired, my wife came a year ago on a k1. We had known each other 3 years. We are married now she is content, but although her english is perfect, since she cant work its Hard for her to make friends. Waiting on her green card, but our long term plan is to move to thailand. It is work to understand our cultural differences, but we are acclimating well.
Takes time for sure . I was fortunate she was able to work pretty quickly and perfected her English complete with southern slang . Be 18 years this month . 12 of them here in Thailand , no regrets . You can email me if you like .
Did nt the cops confiscate his passport? two bullet holes in a wall and no doubt an unlicensed firearm and he's not incarcerated until he comes up for Trial?and then the 79 guns in the car while on probation? how much evidence do American cops need to put a guy away?if so that poor girl would still be with us today.
I agree with you he should not have been given bond . Its not a common practice for the courts to ask for a passport
@@UTCM In the Uk if you commit a serious offense and if you are bailed pre-trial you always submit you're passport to the Court as a condition of Bail......America needs to sharpen up because that could stop people fleeing America going abroad and committing more crime.
@@louisdisbury9759 In all my years as an investigator I ve never seen this done in the USA . In high profile cases I have heard of it being done . My thoughts in this situation he should have never been let out of jail the 2 nd time
I don't know if he deserves it or not. Did not follow the trial. But, how sad is it when he faces the death penalty when "Boss" is allowed to flee the country and extradition is now going to happen
One of The benefits of death penalty is deterring to committing crimes.
Yes for sure
Terrible story😣BTW. Have you heard that filming people on the streets will be forbidden in the future? Or you ask everybody before you filming them. But you can't ask everybody you meet on the streets can you?
Thats not the law . The law is its fine if they are in your video as your walking . If you get up close and in there face best to ask first . I always did that anyway . Yes I agree sad that someone lost there life , good he will rot in a Thai jail . Lazy laws in the USA can be held responsible .
Well. he looks like a mother in law favorit...😂😂😂 Terrible guy ...😡😡
Thank you for a walk in my neighbourhood. If you had continued straight towards Baan Bakery, but taken the first to the right in Rat Chiang Saen soi 1K you would come to Petcharatana Court. If you go in there my wife or daughter might invite you for a cup of coffee. Give greetings from me, Lung Ben :-)
I will try to make it by there at some point . I did another walk up there I may have walked by it then .... ... Thats such a neat area to walk around most places have been left natural as they were ......
Mix one part Western male egotism with two parts Eastern female stubbornness and... WHAM-O!
The Orient is a great vacation spot. However, for making long term whoppi, I prefer Europe.
Ciao.
Thanks for the cool walk and story. The man was certainly some kinda psycho. Very bad he killed a local. One of the worse stories…
He for sure had some deep issues
I remember seeing this case on the news. The CCTV in Thailand rivals England's. If he does life instead of being executed, he'll certainly experience harsh prison conditions.
Yes he won't be in Kansas that's for sure !
Is nothing compared to China though
@@dandared6395 I would imagine that's the case.
Omg
Rip wife and baby
READ THE USA 🇺🇸 NEWS ON HIM
My my my WHAT A CASE
HE IN TROUBLE
BAD BOY UH
FELON
ESCAPED TO THAILAND 🇹🇭
KARMA CAUGHT ⬆️ WITH HIM
DEFINITELY GOTTA WATCH WHO you CALL FRIEND
Very sad
@@UTCM indeed
Prayers out to all concerned
I sure dont feel sorry for him and maybe he should spend the rest of his life in the Thai prision.
And his next one as well . I have no mercy on him , sad for her family . This should never have happened .
If you get a felony charge in California after 90 days they will come and get You anyplace in the world.Happened to me in 1998.But after I got of prison in 2000 I came to Thailand in 2001 to 2010 on 3 month visa's an really kept my nose clean,clean in Thailand.
The State Department has guide lines for extradition , alot depends on what your charges are
I know last year when I tried to get my Retirement Visa in the US I had to get a FBI Background Check and a State Check. But when I got it in Thailand it was not required. MyThai Wife was already living in the US with me for 13 years.
Yes if you go for a retirement visa even if your married to a Thai they still require it but only once
@@UTCM Im Ret Federal Police, now in Korat. Thanks.
@@leejones3219 Aus ? Got a friend here is also or USA ?
@@UTCM USA. I retired Navy then got a job as a Department of Veterans Affairs Police Officer for twenty years.
You got one of the good retirement plans !!! Enjoy it !!!!! I did 23 years and got out first chance I could ....
So relaxing walk, I feel the need to slow down. Can’t wait to visit Chiang Mai again
Could only imagine the hell he’s going through in a Thai jail.
Not bad enough though .
Your stories led me to subscribe 👈👍
Thank you !!!
Interesting story. But very sad indeed. More proof of the importance of leaving your culture at home when traveling in Thailand. Plus you do not want to spend time in a Thai jail. I have heard the condition in a Thai jail are one of the harshest in the world.
Yes !
I could be wrong but I thought there was term limit of 20 years on a life sentence in Thailand? Is that true?
Im not sure its something I ve been meaning to check
I agree with everything you said my friend
Thank you
So hi...saw your video and I am sitting now in the restaurant you said,the ribs good ,in front of burger box...by the way ,they open 11am-9pm...maybe I see you walking..I know that's your time usually
In case you near I am still there until 10.30..just ordered
Enjoy the ribs !!!!
@@brettbidd Thanks ... No I m relaxing now in the aircon .
@@UTCM ok...so maybe we can see one day and have together a supper or drink..thankx a lot..food is very good as you said.
I am living in lamphun so not every day in Chiang mai
Yes they cook the best ribs !!!!! Let me know the next time your in town !
Really heartbreaking 💔
I remember long ago where Ferang killed his Thai wife, they found her body in his luggage....
He didn't want to pay for an airline ticket?
There been a couple like that ...
@@german411Found them in Nongkahi I believe when she started to smell, on the run.
So freaky just read this suitcase killer shane looker from 8 year old crime is to be sentenced tomorrow. Odd coincidence! He was extradited from Spain.
Social media has long been awash with stories of "Farang males being done wrong" but how many Thai girls have been led down the garden path (so to speak)over the years, and the foreigner has just flown out never to be seen again, leaving the girl and her family to cope for themselves?
Many and that never hits the media .
Many more lying and cheating farangs coming here, usually on holiday with a short term visa. Fills the girl full of promises and hope. Many of them have wives at home to boot. Pathetic
Drugs kill no matter how little for a start...
Cross cultural relationships and very difficult. Language barrier as well as cultural concepts that are new/different from your own. Has been a huge issue in my relationship but with the difficulty of communicating some issues it always makes me evaluate- is this even worth an arguement? Language barrier cutting down on the fights lol
I was fortunate Lek for the most part spoke very good English. And I had read up on her culture . For her she jumped right into things state side and saw with her own eyes . Made life much easier for both of us , then and now living here .
your opening is much more artistic...
Good on ya mate
Some people bring out the worst in each other.. The first strike OUT.
Very nice video and interesting story. I think culture differences have a big role in this tragedy.
I dont know but Im thinking more this guy had some issues
1 Hes where he should be . 2 He has a Terminal case of the Dumb-ass 3 Divorce is so easy , he should have made that choice! 4 i just Joined your channel you tell a Good Story ! Thanks !
Yes I agree , he ll have planty of time to re think his actions ! Glad you enjoy the channel !!!!!
He should have gone to Laos thailand has a statute of limitation on murder stay away for 20 years and your free 😜🇹🇭🇦🇺🇺🇸🙏🤟
That
may have been his plan , who knows . Im just happy he is where he belongs and he ll be there a good while . Thats one law I wish they would change . Should be no statute on Rape and murder .
@@UTCM a lot of women lie about being raped hard to lie about being murdered 😕
Erm...extradition is a thing,i believe.
Ask Julian Assange...
Thailand is a safe and wonderful country for retirement not found in most neighbouring countries .
Very safe here safer than back in the states as far as Im concerned
I enjoy story time with you lol
Thank you ! Glad you enjoy it !
I wish I could work TH-cam I want to do a documentary
@@SCHLONGA100 It's easy once you get started!
I would like do so a documentary on Crohn’s disease and mental health for awareness
Any tips 🙏
Very sad story....
Very sad .
No sewage treatment here all septic tanks the tanks are plastic, and periodically need to be sucked out by big vacuum trucks and contents dumped hopefully not in the river.
Thats what I thought . I ve never seen one here . I wonder if they are taking water from the river ? Would be about the same
@@UTCM Many clean rivers in Thailand even the Mae Ping if you are north of Chiangmai. The Kok tiver Chiangrai is very clean it enters Thailand from the Burmese wilderness..
Will you visit or write him to get the rest of his story
When ever I find out what his sentence is I will . Right now it hasnt been published . I suspect life in prison but I dont know
I would not do well visiting someone like that
Tragic story. And when I see the easy treatment criminals are receiving now in The States due to Liberal policies, it gets my blood boiling.
Yes there's very little to deter them . I had guy get out , only do comit a crime so they could go back in .
Good views and interesting story buddy. 👍🏼👍🏼Sheer stupidity on his part . As a computer programmer he would have a very comfortable life and family .
very true
Could the guns be for Myanmar resistance?
Doubtful
🤣😆😂 Be smarter …. #staysafe
A lad I went to school with was killed in Chiangmai 20 years ago, over a woman!
That's sad ! It happens all over the world as well .
Vey sad, you poignant you said these girls have dreams just when you were passing the Statue of Liberty
I have absolutely no sympathy for this excuse for a human being, controversially I agree with the death penalty in this case, as even though the other inmates will treat him with the respect that he deserves (NOT), and they will cordially give him a frequent beating, which the guards will never see. I don't believe that the taxpayers should have to pay for looking after him effectively. Over the last 2 decades, I have traveled to Thailand 21+ times so the Westerners I meet that call Thailand home, are on the whole good people, but there are plenty of wannabe mafia types that nobody back home would tolerate, without reading to them about their short life with a lot of pain horoscope. A good Vlog though mate, keep it up.
Thank you !
I don’t know if they treat the water here . Oh look , I’m outside a water treatment plant . Dong .
Oh..yeah, the guy name Jason used knife stabbed his 3 month pregnant thai wife this happened just 15km away from my wife's parents live.
very sad
Her mistake was not leaving after the first incident. Women coming to the West for the first time need to learn about the resources available to them, so they do not feel trapped in a dangerous relationship. She definitely shouldn't have continued the relationship in Thailand. Psychos don't change. If she had pressed charges in the US, she probably could have got him in prison and received a divorce and temporary assistance and eventually found the man she deserved. Everyone needs to be able to reassess their initial evaluation of someone when presented with new evidence. It is difficult to do if you are in love, but it is critical if the person is evil.
I agree with you 100% Problem is most of the time they dont have any clue there are ways to get help . There in a different country scared and dont know where to turn. I fault the police in the US about this . It could have been prevented had they done a proper job .
Very sad
Respects ... for the 'I Admit'
Not so good
Maybe better if you dont walk around
The town its annoying
Too much waffel, just tell the story.
nice
Look!!! A squirrel.
Tastes like chicken
Phillipinas always find fellow Phillipinas, Thai ladies I hear as a rule of thumb are never happy in the west.
My wife was happy , but we both wanted back to Thailand as soon as we were able
@@UTCM I don't blame you. Between the divorce raping western women, Affirmative Action, and now race on race crime, I'm glad to be out of that shite hole country. Let it rot.
