A TRUE VIEWERS STORIES FROM THAILAND - VOL 147

[@JoseSanchez-mk1ed]

Hi Peter! I'm very glad you revisited this story. It's an important cautionary tale and most people aren't hardcore Thailand Bound story hounds like me (so they're unlikely to go back that far). I watched a lot of expat videos before I went to the Philippines and it saved me a lot of headaches. Your content will do the same for me when I head to Thailand. In terms of the format, I like them both. I know how much work you put into reading and editing these segments. I'm not sure how feasible it will be to commit a new story, that is not yours, every week to memory. Maybe you can do it as a special or alternate between formats. Whatever you decide, I'll still be waiting with anticipation. Cheers.

[@scottg3456]

Hey Peter, I remember you telling this story a few years ago - you look a lot more confident telling the story now if compared to back then, you've come a long way. RIP to Tom. Always enjoy listening to the love stories mate.

[@doubledown9]

I save these for right before bedtime, it’s a pleasure to have you read me some bedtime stories haha. Looking forward to it! 😊

[@ThailandBound]

Glad you like them!

I've been around long enough to have heard it before. A shame he allowed this to end his life. I've had 3 wives and have lost much but have not given in to such dispare. I am 70 now, by myself, and appreciate every day I have.

[@Koala-Express]

Ah - an Aussie or American version would be the lawyer stops access and wife takes 100% of assets via divorce to a poor guy who never sees it coming. Same old story - different perfume!

[@lendlalfred7870]

This was a sad story. My heart goes out to Tom. He wasn't stupid, but a man who put his heart and trust into the wrong hands. Karma is real. I wouldn't be surprised if that business is failing or the woman involved is suffering. Do right by people and goodness shall follow you, do people dirty and the universe will punish you.

[@frankthetank8050]

In a nutshell: beware of p*ssy, it's gonna be your downfall! R.I.P. Tom! 😥🙏🏽 Thanks for this cautionary tale Pete. But I'm quite depressed now

This was one of the stories that really caught my attention when I first heard it. The original story was very organic so it resonated with me. One thing I realized ..beware of the girls "brother ". Good stuff take care.

[@tarocalypse]

Thanks for the good (and very random too) mix of short and long stories. Must be hundreds. It really is a weekly treat of surprises Peter! You know your formula is good so don't change a thing but... this to me was a nice variation. Every now and again but not always I think!

[@excelsiortrading8050]

Good story and God bless his soul rip, it's good for us to hear so we know to be careful

[@lamapetersen2079]

Its awesome telling from memory the story becomes much more alive . I get this feeling sitting in a pub and the "elderly" gentleman sitting in the bar telling stories from the seven seas . Its really good and very educational for me as a non native English speaker.

Another good story Peter but very sad. Thank you for sharing.

[@ubiquitousdiabolus]

As soon as one of these women mentions a "brother", you need to worry.

[@F.C.77]

Bloody hell! This is one of the saddest story that I heard, sorry for that poor soul that lost everything and took his own life. On the bright side I prefer this narrating way, if I close the eyes it sounds like a old story around the fire...well done.

[@noeljr.7724]

Good story. Sadly, one that I've heard all too often in Thailand. I'm not going to call him any names because living in Thailand I know how easy something like this is to happen. There's always a brother in Isaan. I could write a book on those Isaan guys. I employee some of them and they are too much at times. Women, fathering children and alcohol rules their lives. Let's leave that there. RIP to the man that this story was about. Regarding the story format. This was good. I enjoyed it but I do also enjoy hearing the several short stories every week. Whatever you decide anyway, I'll still be here every week. Have a good weekend.

[@abeweinberg6400]

And I actually like the way you tell the story instead of reading it out it gives a lot of more information about the story the places and everything so keep it up

[@af186]

I crazy how the dating seen in the West is driving men to 4th world countries to find love or basic companionship and partners; we can all thank the women liberation movements in the West for it, crazy story that last one, though, like someone else commented, these Thai families would think twice before doing this kinds of scams if the guy would have taken the socalled brother out and burn the restaurant down before taking his life!

[@docrw]

HORRIBLE!!! OMG You can't trust anyone! It's a real low to act like you care for someone and steal every including their life...

I've never understood how you could say Ying did not know. You give her way too much credit. She knew what she was doing the second she accepted a dinner date knowing she was a married woman.

[@MrFriesz]

Agree, she knew what was going to happen. The whole thing was planned

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Peter you are a superb story teller, I’m excited to buy your book. Are you familiar with Scott Mellon? His was the first Thai channel that I discovered and I became addicted to his stories of Thai women and men from the west. I lost contact with his channel and while trying to find it (I had forgotten his name) I happily discovered you and your work. You are a patient and kind guy in contrast to Scott who can be quite crude to his followers. I want to thank you for providing o much information and entertainment love the stories. I’m a little older than you and I’ve long wanted to visit Thailand for diving, beaches and visiting the temples. Im from Arizona in the US

[@ThailandBound]

No I haven't heard of Scott

[@Hooderlein]

Wow... Just wow. Holy moly. In case a project like this would be coming up in my life, one really has to handle it like a pro. There gotta be safety nets in the design of the ownership. If not possible, not goinna happen. Not only because of potential "brothers", also because relationships can change over time. Thanks for the heads up.

[@bafty0]

Jesus what a tragedy, sadly one of many. No good deed goes unpunished. Fascinating tale Peter and one of caution. Also it was nice hearing it told this way I agree!

[@rollingtinfist]

I hadn’t heard this story before and didn’t see the end coming. Sad. As someone who does and has had relationships with non-western women including Filipina and Thai, and thoroughly enjoy them, you have to be alert, always. The moment you get complacent you’re done. And yes, I’ve had my share of wrecks too, and I always add them to my file of $#!+ to remember. I have never known any of the women to be overtly malicious, just varying levels of hunger for something more or better. No matter what the Western man’s station in life, he is seen as a potential PROVIDER first and foremost. The second you dismiss that, you’re already in trouble. Of course there are those fortunate souls who marry that first girl and live happily ever after. God bless ‘em, but I’ve never been that lucky. Hopefully your book will in addition to your videos also help men avoid this ending. Thanks as always Peter. You may not know it, but I believe you are saving lives.

Oh my that story was a shock. Been a Brit myself and working class it was a terrible hit he took financially, very hard to get over that. Too old to graft that money back he lost.. Really shows how deceitful they can be...love is blind old saying.... Thanks for the story. 👌

Unfortunately this happens with some foreigners in Thailand 🇹🇭 and the Philippines 🇵🇭. Guys it isn’t exactly a red flag 🚩 that she spoke English well.

He says to always verify if she’s married or not lol f you’re in Thailand 🇹🇭 or the Philippines 🇵🇭. Next before you invest a penny go see a lawyer that specializes in foreign ownership of business or land. Had he done this he would have saved himself a world of hurt 😢 may he Rest In Peace ☮️

[@kusountenshi7305]

Out of curiosity, since this seems to be a recurring theme, save for the unfortunate end... If someone is fronting their life savings into a shaky business venture and it will definitely not be in their name, is it possible to have a lawyer write up a loan agreement so that if (WHEN) something goes wrong, the money must be returned once the deception/scam is revealed? a safety net so to speak... and has anyone tried this? is it even possible in Thailand? I just can't imagine having doubts and then throwing caution to the wind, and not having a backup plan when everything for you (not her) is on the line.
