Title: Farang suicide
Post by: davu on May 21, 2013, 10:27:35 PM
Anybody got info about the 'suicide' of an English teacher living in Ban .(Talat Kwai?).. between Lamplaimat and Buriram? Found hung, a colleague from his school went to investigate and called the police. Younger wife with Thai husband, sounds like the usual story. Or is this just village gossip?
Sorry if I'm out of line on this.

OH if this it true I am so sorry to hear.  My TW tells me that this is so common an experience in Buriram, young Thai girl meets Farang, gets what she can from him, all the while she has Thai husband waiting to reap the benefits.  Recently Farang burned down the house when he found out his TGF had a Thai husband. 

Farang beware.

The point is that he probably didn't commit suicide but was suicided.

Do you think people get suicided?

Did he run out of money?

OR, did he discover there was a Thai husband, was broke, and truly in love.  We may never know.

Unfortunately,Thai ladies having a husband is a common occurrence.In my wife's village there are a fair few cases of that sort of stuff going on.Farang comes to visit from overseas,Thai husband moves out and when Farang husband eventually goes back to his country,sure enough Thai husband moves back in.I think it's bloody disgraceful that they are fleecing these poor fellas.

well this is going nowhere....no confirmation of any death, and people up in arms about TW ripping farang off, since nobody has confirmed a death suicide or other it seems to be a link about paranoid rantings screwy

No paranoia, lived it myself.  Hope others learn from my mistakes.  That's the only reason for posting.  Living it really sucks.  Makes trusting that much more difficult.

Yes David, but has anyone confirmed a death....or was that just paranoia, like what has been said here a thousand times...only put it what you can afford to lose.....emotions included.  party15

Unfortunately, this story is true. The guy was teaching at "Mary Buriram." Nobody really knows why he did it.

The story maybe true, but he was not teaching at "Mary Buriram", as you called it.

You're right.

He had not yet begun teaching because classes were not yet in session. He had, however, been employed to replace the outgoing teacher at Mary Buriram. He was employed for, I believe, about 2 weeks before he took his own life.

Ryan...He didn't even make it to school. He was employed by an agency that provide teachers. He had been with them for about 10 days. It seems he didn't even make the first day at school.

He was a guy that used to live in Bangkok. Wife from around here. Started to build a house somewhere between here and Korat. About 40 years old. Problem???? Don't know as I didn't ask.

Ha ha...thanks.....for telling me what I just told you!

"You're right.

The only point I was making was to tell the OP that, yes, the story he heard was true....a local teacher did, in fact, commit suicide. It never occurred to me that I needed to explain the particulars of the BEFITS "Mary" employment relationship!

And I was just proving you right Ryan.

I have been teaching at the school mentioned above, Marie by the way, for 3 years. I had heard nothing so wondered. That is all.

I was simply adding more info that some people had asked for and clarifying other info.

Anyway this thread is about someone who has died.

RIP.
