Tirak....mai mee tang

Tirak....mai mee tang = Darling....i need some money
==========================================

Come back from thailand 2 months ago, and keep in touch with a very GFE
thai girls. I feel happy with this girls until tonight, after receive a call from
her.

She telling me that she don't have money to pay her house and car loans.
She need about 20000-30000baht to pay the loans.

I'm very dissapointed with her, i think she is lying, and try to get some money
from me.

Anyone have the same experience ?
Do you think i should send her the money ?

Cannot advise whether you should or should not send money to any tg, there is always too much you know and cannot possibly write down for any of us to assess. 2 - 3,000 baht is very little and I would have thought if she is trying to scam you she would have gone for a larger sum of say 20 to 50,000, so sounds sort of genuine. Sometimes they ask just to show their friends their farang likes them, I've usually found they ask after being pressured by friends or family, at least she is asking for herself and not some problem with mumma, buffalo etc which again makes me think maybe genuine.

Mai Mee Tang = not have money..

Of course she is playing you.. Give in and you will get calls every month.. If you are considering it I can get my GF to SMS's you lots and you can pay her rent.. Either that or go look in a mirro and slap yourself HARD !!! Repeat I will not send money while doing so..

You cant blame them.. They need dosh.. They see you as having dosh.. They try to get some..

I think you have mis read the numbers Dodger. She is asking for 20,000 to 30,000 baht, so your comment of a scam is applicable.

As always it is up to you, do what you think is best, i am sitting in an internet cafe in patong right now, a girl was on the phone to her boyfriend asking about why he had not sent the money, she only had money for food but no money to get home, the way she was dressed did not really show me that she wanted to get home soon, quite obviously about to go to work.
Another from the same cafe yesterday was 2 LBs, asking the assistant how to spell pressure, i had to tell them but i really would have loved to read the rest of that mail.
good luck with whatever you decide
Now where did i put that mirror????

Your posts seem to include a lot of things about LBs recently Simon, everything ok?

Looks like Dirty Mike and Safeass will each be getting an e-mail with the word ''pressure'' in it.

"I don't have any money"

My ex GF, non BG, did the same with me. Asking first 3500 bath for a driving license, Then a new phone, then a collar, then a bracelet, then 10.000 bath for English courses, then 15.000 bath for a computer. Finally I said STOP to test her feelings... What must happen has happened : she found another sponsor one month later.

I hope it will help you to take your decision, but it is of course up to you

Your'e right miss read the post, now changed opinion 20-30,000 baht for loans is just a scam, don't send it tell her your buffalos sick and doesn't have any medical insurance so youv'e got no money, she'll understand that.

I reckon I'll go for the record got asked for 150,000 baht for a car, followed by 100,000 baht to start a business followed by 150,000 baht for papas medical operation all within 2 months, didn't send any, then got what you no love me anymore - 400,000 baht yeah right. Has anyone been asked for more?

Thats exactly how I was when I got back from my last trip, I had to detox for a month, Could not even look at another drink

By the way I am also getting a bit worried about you and these LBs Last time I was out there you could not keep yourself far enough away from them and now its the opposite, I heard a little story that you were with a certain LB (Gia) that both of us were posing for a pic with last time, Is there any truth in the rumour.....55555555..

Cant wait to see the pics (Not of you and the LB..5555..) of your latest adventures

I would not send money to a BG, By all means spend as much as you want on her while your there, But draw the line at sending money while your at home and she at play

Seriously I find if you tell them beforehand that you will not be sending any money to any BG when you go home, Then it cuts all this out.

After my first tour and my first request from a BG for money I copped onto this and since then it has not happened to me, You dont have to be harsh when you tell them that you wont be sending them money, But you say it in joking way and keep droping it into conversations every so often and they will get the message.

At the end of the day though, Its up to the individual to choose what they want to do, Its your money and your choice, Hope you pick the right one, Good Luck.

Dont send a single satang just think if you send it i guarantee you will get the same message in the next couple of months asking for more for some other reason and you might send it again but eventually the penny will drop and you will realise you are being scammed and then you think of the 60-90,0000 bhat you have wasted as other bms have already said its ok to give them some dosh while you are out there but for gods sake dont start sending money out there that will be the rock you perish on just look what happened to Domifletch even after all he sent to his girl she found another guy with more money and dumped him it has happened to mates of mine before as well one of my mates had a breakdown because of this.

I give my girl plenty when i am with her but i have told her from day 1 never to phone me or email me in Scotland and ask for money . Because all that will happen is she will be dumped as i know she is working in the bar when i am not there and i would not be surprised if she has other guys same as me but its no problem to me as i have no plans for marriage with her just enjoy her company when i am out there .

Cool

There was suppose to be a little thai girl living here in Sweden with me this summer ... i asked her over the phone how much money she needed to send to her mum and daughter every month from here .. she said 10.000b and you can boom boom every day , i said: Woooiiieeeh and okay!

After all she costīs 2000b if you pick her up at Walking St. so i thought she sold her self kind of cheap!

I called her a week later to arrange things and get some info about her for the Visa and such , she was quiet drunk and said to me: I stopped go with men , i love you ... send me 150.000bath
I cantīremember i asked her to stop work!?

I told her i will be in Pattaya in September if she wants me anything !
Good afternoon Miss Su!

As I see it you have three options:-
1) Ignore her plea for money, its too much anyway.

2) Tell her that you are working hard to save some money to come back to Thailand to see her, and if she doesn't want a delay in seeing you, then she needs to look elsewhere for her money.

3) Send her a little bit, an ammount you can afford - you'll feel good, but not the ammount she is asking for!

Good luck

I think that is the most important observation - only if YOU want to and YOU have enough money and YOU realise that it's mostly pointless.

The amount asked for is an obvious scam but I guess if it had been smaller you would have sent it and not asked here.

A couple of years ago I used to have the same girl for a week at a time , for about 3 trips. She only asked if I could give her money to send home all at once. Never tried any of the "sick buffalo" or other tricks and never sent any begging e-mails. Yes,I probably gave her a bit of extra cash, but only because she never asked for it.

Hi ETV,

You showed her your car though. Like a nice house in LOS.

Hope you are still having a great time together.
