This must stop.I too lost on Luna but you know brother we have to dig in our heels and rebuild. To rebuild means to put in hours and hard work. Only way is getting a job. No more being filled with hope for Lady Luck and short cuts. Start being comfortable only when you have rebuilt your wealth. You can’t live like this in Thailand. In Asia, it’s all about building wealth. If you are solely focused on getting even or wanting some fairness, you are not in sync with the culture. In Asia, there are generations of people living below the poverty line. There will be no sympathy or respect to accept a foreigner to be added on to this level of existence in the country. In almost every country, foreigners are welcomed to come and spend money. Your best bet is to quickly go back to Australia where you will be well supported by the government and you are able to work. You may think you have no one left in Australia but you do. You have yourself and your dignity.
