Mekong Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Cent No kids involved just my dogs two amazing German Shephards I named Gin and Tonic (that is ton ton in my avatar)I do not give a shit about the soon to be ex wife but I miss my dogs. Another SE Asian country, well April / May time this project will be moving from Madrid to Singapore so I will be working / living there for approx 8 months but not sure if I could live there full time. I am actually having a blast in Chile over the last few days so I may just continue with my Spanish classes and make South America an option. To everyone who has posted kind words to me thank you much appreciated, as you can imagine my head is a little screwed at the moment so it is good to have support from my internet friends (yes I do know most of you in real life) to help me get over it. Muchas Gracias Amigos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acockasian Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Mekong, This is a shocker! Sad to hear and best of luck for the future. As I think that there are children involved let me throw a few things out for you to think about at some point after the holidays. The PNG is not that easy to do. There are a number of lists that are never in sync- people that should be on it are not and people that have been removed have it show up again and again for years. Not knowing your wife, unless she is from a family that owns a bank, a major company, or her brother is a senator, it is probably just a threat. For you to actually be on it takes signatures of real people in positions of authority and despite all of the faults we find with our beloved Thailand it is a functional society with a functioning legal system. Much easier to do is something at the local police office level with drugs, age issues with sex, etc. If nothing like that happened bet you are OK. There are a few Thai law firms that can help with issues like this and far more falang and Thai lawyers who will milk it for every penny they can knowing they can't do shit. I sent you by PM the name of a law firm if you want to go that route. They would charge you at least 10,000 baht, maybe even a bit more, for the first consultation. It might cost that again or a bit more if there is something that needs to be fixed. Again, I haven't used them in over a decade but they are the only honest firm I know who have experience with issues like this. There may be others and maybe someone here can suggest one. The easiest way for you to get some peace of mind is to stop in BKK on a flight somewhere else where you have an open ticket for the onward portion where you are confident it is a flight that is never full, like Phillipine Airlines. If you are on the list you aren't arrested or anything- you just can't enter Thailand. There also should be notations in your passport with a lot of writing, in Thai off course, if you are PNG. If there is anything get someone to read it for you or scan it and ask a lawyer. Being in Thailand gives you the option of dealing with this a different way if you decide that you want to do it that way. Only you can judge how dangerous that is, as far as the emotional state and vindictiveness of Mrs. Mekong, and whether or not you even want to try. Best of luck whatever you decide to do. Despite what some may say drinking does help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Sorry Mekong--I hope things turn out for the best for you, somehow, some way. It's often surprising how what seemed to be a complete curse turns into a real blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Phil But of course we will still quarrel, she may have taken most things off me but she will not take the fight out of me. Cheers Expat, Things will work out I have no other option, sink or swim and I don't sink. I find it quite ironic that the guys on this board who I have disagreements with in the past are the ones being supportive now, much appreciated guys, Cheers.

Flashermac Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 A colleague has always argued that marriage licenses should be valid for a certain period of time, like driving licences (except in the UK), fishing licences etc. He's probably got a good point. Renew them if both parties want. Otherwise move on. I may have mentioned a guy who got expelled from the country years ago after seducing the underage daughter of a Thai general! The general had several MPs meet the perp at his apartment, give him an hour to pack his bags and then escort him to Don Muang. They handed him a ticket, pointed to the plane and said don't come back. About 5 or 6 years later, we were amazed to see the guy back and working as a freelance writer under his own name. So much for PNG. I know another Brit who was accused of pushing his GF off a balcony. He insists she was drunk and fell off. (Only one storey but enough to bust her up some.) The police expelled him from LOS, but a year later he was back again and teaching here, even worked at a university for a while. Point is PNG doesn't mean forever in this country. You'll be back - in time. Damned sorry to hear what happened to you. You've mildly pissed me off with comments a few times, but I've agreed with you many times more. Sounds like you got the shit end of the stick and I can't imagine anything that would warrant it. Maybe you can commiserate with Thaksin - and both come back in triumph together. Good luck wherever and at whatever. You're tough enough to survive. Just stay single from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 ...but of course we will still quarrel, she may have taken most things off me but she will not take the fight out of me... My brother is in the middle of a divorce. They were dividing up the belongings last month and he said to me, "Well, at least I get to keep the chef" (he's a good cook and she's hopeless).
