Giving charitable handouts to teflers

[crazy dog]

Not much compassion on that forum when long time members die, just a torrent of abuse and nothing done to the guilty party, Yet suddenly we should all feel guilty for not being full of it for the wife of somebody we don't know. This is another Kev in Pattaya scenario, a go fund me but not started by him of course but his mate on the beg. Kev has a house in Spain he claims cannot sell and a nice car and also not bothered medical insurance but has the hat out. Fair enough nobody has to donate to these cases but these characters really have a bit of a nerve IMO, most of us have a bit more dignity than to splash our problems all over the internet and expect strangers to step in when friends and family will not or cannot. This guy has clearly been skating on thin ice for years and compassion is not going to get him out of the mess he's created for himself and family.

Well, poster Landreth has 3 million THB sitting here in a Thai bank doing SFA so...pony up, Landreth.

If she does pass, which from the descriptions it sounds like she might, then hopefully some good will come of it i.e. the twat will lose his marriage visas and move the daughter to the UK where she'll have a much brighter future.

off radar tefling in isaan

Sounds like he's now down south, in Trang.

Interesting old TD thread, another one with a house rented out at 30k in 2008 so probably a thousand quid a month by now, or sold for millions of baht. Either way he's doing better than a lot of people.

agreed Tax. Not much compassion shown here for a fellow human down on his luck.
I'd even go so far as to say what a bunch of khunts, led by the top khunt, smeg.

That's rich coming from you and those akin.
Funny how this compassion might only apply, and falsely promoted, to a particular variety of fellow humans.

You're so full of sh*t, Cuj.
And always have been.

Been that way since Eric passed away.

Seems to have gotten progressively (pun intended) worse over time.

WTF does that even mean?

[Arthur Daley]

yes, of course he should have thought of health insurance etc.

but like the majority of thais on low incomes, its just not an option and when serious disease strikes, they are left alone to suffer their fate.

So you'd donate if a Thai bloke claimed the same thing and posted it on TD

A bit of a strange one this, even more strange than the usual backpacker who has no travel insurance and crashed a scooter on an island.

Just a note on that. Read the fine print re riding scooters on holiday

My travel insurance states you must have a home motorcycle licence, be wearing a proper helmet & not be under the influence, if you want to claim successfully

I can imagine the number of claims they've turned down because of this

[Mr Tinkles]

this is not a shitfest thread where those kind of comments are called for and usually deserved, this is a guy who seems to be in real trouble and i dont think it is a scam either.

So how much have you donated tax?

Times like this call for good friends & family, not a bunch of wankers from a forum you'd find hard to count 1 or 2 you'd like to even have a beer with

[Pattaya Plies]

Sunan has 277 friends on her fb page and no mention of GFM

i agree he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, which is probably why he has been reduced to off radar tefling in isaan after his restaurant went tits up and his coral saving crusade floundered, but for fux sake, have a heart, if he couldnt raise 40000 a month back in 2008 when the pound was over 60, what chance has he got now when the pound is 36. and you cant just sell a house thats 5000 miles away in a couple of days if you suddenly need money.

the guy appears to have hit hit rock bottom. no readies, daughter to support, wife dying from cancer in a hospital a couple of hours away.

its not the time to analyse his past mistakes, its time to do the christian thing and give him some support. its always better to give than to receive.

and i'll say it again, some of the comments on this thread are fukking disgraceful, even by the already abysmally low standards of thai fora and the characters that inhabit them.

this is not a shitfest thread where those kind of comments are called for and usually deserved, this is a guy who seems to be in real trouble and i dont think it is a scam either.

Well said. Very well said. Smeg using a woman dying of cancer to promote his old, tired anti-expat/TEFLer vendetta is beyond the pale.

You should print this thread out, and read it every time you start to forget who you have chosen to make your bed with.

(and to the admin here - you must be proud, very proud to be the host for such abhorrent content)

At least it's not graphic pics of women smeared in shite, eh?
