When I was in Patong a month ago I spent 5 days with a nice and very sweet BG - We had a really good time together and yadadada..
She lives in Khon Kaen and flew home the day after me (I had her ticket changed because she was scheduled to go home 2 days before me and that wouldn't work
)
Well I gave her my email addy and we have been writing together a couple of times per week.
It has been pretty normal conversation per email so far, talking about when I would come back to see her etc etc. But today I got an email from her that leaves me puzzled to say the least.
According to her someone in her family has died. The thing is that now she is in trouble because when it comes to the cremation they divide the cost equally and she is of course short of money. I have of course read all the stories on this forum about how things with BG's normally would evolve and most would finally end up asking for money but I did not expect this.
I was kinda waiting for the "water buffalo sick" or something in that respect but would a Thai really try to get money by saying that a family member is dead and she needs money for cremation?
Have any of you guys hear about this before?
Also another question that springs to mind is how much is a cremation in Thailand actually? I mean I would think that it would be rather cheap but then again I have no way of knowing that.
I wrote her back asking how much she needs but not saying I will send it. If she asks for a load of cash and a cremation is normally 5000 bath then I would know the true nature of her.
Any advice would be appreciated.. I dont mind helping her out if she truely needs it but I dont want to be played like a fool
