Comment of the Week:
This comment: by @SSits" in the post "Ever Want to Just Say "F*@k it" and Move to Thailand?".
I've seen a lot of people who moved to Thailand with this in mind. Usual life path:1. Marry a local Thai lady
2. Buy property in Thai lady's name (as foreigners generally can't own property in Thailand)
3. Get fat, smoke too much pot
4. Have child with Thai wife
5. Get shaken down by Thai wife's family for money (this can happen at multiple stages)
6. Thai wife gets sick of your shit, family tries to shake you down more for what little cash you have left
7. Thai wife and/or family kills you
8. Thai police make half-hearted attempt to investigate
