MAN DIVORCING WIFE AFTER MEETING “TRUE LOVE” IN BANGKOK “BUSINESS” TRIP

0

With the border reopening, it is good news for most of us but for one woman it was her nightmare.

Her husband’s “business” trip turns out to be the start of her nightmare and end of her marriage.

Here is her story:

To all the women out there, be careful if your husband and boyfriend are going to Thailand for whatever reasons. Be it going for a business or leisure, make sure you are going with him or his not going.

My soon to be ex-husband works in an MNC that has offices around Asia.

When the border opened, he told me that he was flying to the Bangkok offices to do some work, initially I just nod my head and said ok as it was his income and I could not say no. But deep down, I am wary of men that visit Thailand.

After he flew to Bangkok he was still contactable and he would video called me after he reaches the hotel. There were one or two nights he was drunk and said that he is treating his Thailand co-workers for a drink and did not call me.

Now I know that the “drunk” is probably a lie, after 3 nights. He told me that, he is taking the opportunity to visit Chiang Mai since he is in Thailand.

He soon went MIA after he touch down in Chiang Mai. His last message to me was “Dear, I reached CNX”.

The MIA continued on for 3 more days and I started to get worried and I expected the worse, I did not tell my friends about it as I know that this will turn out as nothing but an embarrassment for both my husband and me.

Telling friends won’t change the fact that he has gone MIA, friends would most likely put worse thoughts in my mind. I kept quiet and continued to wait, hoping that it might be an accident or his phone got stolen or something.

He finally replied to me on the 4 nights later and said that he is boarding the plane now to return to Singapore via Scoot airlines.

When he was finally home, I asked him why did not reply or call me for that 72 hours. He sat down at the sofa, drank his beer and ignored me.

I finally raise my voice and shouted at him. The words that came out of his mouth was:

“I’m visiting a law firm tomorrow, let’s not waste time”

Deep down I know that I have not been the best wife but I have never cheated on him. He finally gave in and said that he met his “true love” in Bangkok who is his colleague from the Bangkok office. He went to Chiang Mai for a short holiday with the girl he met and said that he wants to be with her.

I agreed to the divorce as I could not accept anyone who is cheating on me.

I am very lost right now, what should I do next, I took a week-long leave and I am currently alone in Johor now for a short get away from him and work.

TAIWAN COMEDIAN NONO ALLEGEDLY ASKED IF HIS KKJ “BIG ENOUGH” & FORCED HIMSELF ON WOMEN

0

The Taiwanese comedian-host Nono found himself in the midst of controversy as he was summoned by the Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office for the second time, according to Liberty Times Net.

On October 18, he appeared in court to face allegations of assault and harassment. This incident has sparked significant public interest and raised questions about the legal proceedings and the extent of the accusations against him, where he allegedly forced himself on women and asked them if his private part was big enough.

Nono’s Second Appearance in Court

Nono’s return to the prosecutor’s office on October 18 marked a significant development in the ongoing case. The public’s attention was drawn to the courtroom as the comedian-host faced serious allegations, which he has continuously denied.

One of the most shocking aspects of this case was the genital examination that Nono had to undergo during the proceedings.

Forensic scientists conducted this examination to compare the characteristics of his lower body against the statements provided by the victims, and it lasted for about 10 minutes.

Nono, aged 52, left the prosecutor’s office after close to two hours and chose to remain silent in front of reporters. He continued to vehemently deny all the claims made against him. The allegations have sparked a heated debate among the public, with many eagerly following the developments of the case.

Anissa’s Accusations

The allegations against Nono began to surface on June 20 when an online celebrity Anissa, otherwise known as “Little Red Teacher”, took to her social media profiles and claimed that a “Brother N,” which is presumably referring to Nono, had assaulted her.

Anissa stated that she sought help from him after almost being molested a baseball player’s manager at the time.

What is equally concerning is the alleged scale of Nono’s wrongdoings. It is claimed that over the past 20 years, more than 25 women have been assaulted or harassed by Nono., and she claimed that he had forced himself on women and asked them if his genitals were big enough.

Nono was first interrogated on 2 August after being summoned by the prosecutor before being released on a bail of NT$500,000 (SGD$21,000).

WOMAN DOESN’T CARE HUSBAND CHEATS BECAUSE HE BUYS HER EVERYTHING

0

My husband cheats on me sometimes, but I don’t care because I’m very well taken care of
I know this is against the norm because cheating is looked down upon and I used to care a lot more when I was younger but now, not as much.

My husband and I have two kids together and I consider myself fit, curvy and beautiful. Most people can’t tell that I’ve had kids. I run a few businesses and we also have a nanny which really helps both of us when it comes to having our own time.

I have always known my husband had wondering eyes and for the most part he is amazing. Except for the times where he will go fool around with someone when he goes to Vegas for the weekend or something. Before these trips, he will always leave me extra cash and, he always brings me back something. It’s never the same person and always a one-night thing. He doesn’t take girls on vacations, he doesn’t have sugar babies, he only does hookups. He doesn’t want to commit to anyone else even though in the traditional way he’s not fully committed to me either.

He is safe and I also test myself regularly. We don’t talk about it out in the open and it’s kind of one of those things I know but don’t speak of unless something in particular upset me. We are loving, intimacy is great and nothing is amiss. He lives with us and comes home everyday.

The main reason why I don’t care so much about his occasional ONS is because I’m very well taken care of. Anything I want, he will get me. If I tell him I want to go vacation somewhere, he will take me. I don’t look at the prices when I shop. And if I do decide to leave him (he doesn’t want me to but I do feel that one day I might), we have already discussed my monthly alimony and child support, which is close to the mid-5 digits. Right now, everything I spend is on his card that he pays off and he also gives me monthly allowances for me to keep/save despite me having my own money from my businesses (that he helped me open).

I have never spoken this aloud because I know people will tell me it’s wrong for me to value a comfortable life over a monogamous marriage and call me a gold digger. But the truth is, I’ve been with my husband since he was flat broke. And while I would love to have a faithful marriage, if I had to choose between that and never having to worry about money, I would and am choosing the latter.

WOMAN FROM RICH FAMILY THINKS ITS OK TO FLAUNT HER FATHER’S WEALTH

0

My husband’s best friend “Nate” got a new girlfriend “Camilla” about half a year ago. She moved to our city recently so she doesn’t really have any friends here, but she and I hung out a couple of times and started to get friendly.

For context: we are all in our twenties, my husband and I both have nice jobs, we own a small flat, play tennis as a hobby (Camilla thinks it a rich people sport) and we regularly travel by finding cheap plane tickets and staying at cheap hostels for ~3 nights at a time.

Now to the point: my husband and I were hosting a little get together. Nate, Camilla and a few of our other friends were invited. At one point, the conversation went to topics like the current level of inflation, how the lockdown affected people and jobs, the housing market, etc and I had something to say too, agreeing with Camilla.

Camilla cut me off and said something like “Haha, no offense, but you are way too much of a spoiled privileged girl to understand things like this. You would need a tragedy or two in your life to understand struggle. I love you, but you never experienced any hardship in your life, haha.”

The room went dead silent and nobody said anything. After some awkward silence, I stood up and said: “Well, is anybody hungry? Shall we eat?” and we never went back to that topic.

Camilla messaged me the next day asking me how could I do this to her. Nate told her afterwards that I had an abusive father and I fell ill as a teenager, spent months in the hospital, had to have multiple life-saving surgeries and it took me a month to learn to walk again. Camilla is mad at me for not telling these very personal things to her before and for making her look terrible to Nate’s friends. She said that even correcting her at the party would have been better because then she could’ve apologized to me in front of everyone, but I took that chance away from her and now she will never make friends here.

Honestly, this whole thing is ridiculous and I don’t really think I’m the bad person, but it never hurts to ask. Maybe I should have gently corrected her after she said that.

Or Maybe I should just flaunt my father’s wealth since everyone will assume that I am a rich spoiled brat.

GF SAY DON’T WANT DIAMOND & CONDO, THIS GIRL IS THE REAL DIAMOND

0

In a recent post that was shared of Facebook recently, a man stated about his happiness as he found the right girl to marry. Compared to other materialistic girls out there, she did not expect luxury items from her boyfriend at all.

Here is the full post.

Wow.. reading all these posts of girls expecting their bf to buy luxury engagement rings and even condo, I feel so lucky that I have an awesome gf who doesn’t even expect me to buy her anything.

So recently we were discussing our future and I asked her what kind of engagement ring she prefers. Surprisingly, she asked me not to buy any engagement ring for her as she feels that it’s not necessary.

I also suggested to her that we can get a resale flat because I would personally prefer to not wait 3 to 5 years for BTO. She told me that resale flats are quite expensive and she is ok with staying with my family while waiting for BTO.

As for our wedding, I told her I would prefer to have a banquet of 20 tables but she said she would personally prefer to have a house party to celebrate our wedding as she thinks that banquets are not necessary. But she said she would respect my decision if that is what I want.

I am impressed by how frugal and considerate my gf is. She keeps saying she doesn’t want me to spend money unnecessarily because I only started working for about a year. I’m really amazed by her. She has so many guys chasing her and some of these guys are apparently more well off than me. I once asked her why she never consider those rich guys and she told me she doesn’t care about living in big houses or driving posh cars because she justs wants to be with me and she would gladly marry me even if she has to stay with my parents and two sisters in a 4-room flat. I feel so lucky and I can’t wait to marry her and make her my wife.

Guys, if your gf ask you to buy her all those unnecessary material stuff, I think it’s best for you to reconsider the relationship. If a girl truly loves you, she would always help you save money and not find every chance to spend it.

AIRASIA WEIGHS PASSENGERS BEFORE BOARDING FLIGHT, SAYS IT’S FOR “DATA” COLLECTION

0

In recent times, travelers in Thailand have found themselves faced with an unusual request. Several Thai airlines, including AirAsia Thailand, have introduced a new practice that involves passengers stepping onto the scales, not just with their luggage, but with their own weight as well.

Understanding the Weigh-In Exercise

Why Are Passengers Being Asked to Weigh In?

To begin with, AirAsia Thailand initiated this rather unconventional practice from October 16 to 20. During this period, passengers boarding selected flights from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport were asked to participate in a weigh-in exercise.

Now, you might wonder why an airline is interested in your weight. AirAsia Thailand clarified that this practice aims to collect data that will contribute to enhancing service efficiency.

For a Good Cause

If you happen to see a weighing station at your boarding gate, there’s no need to be alarmed. AirAsia Thailand encourages passengers to voluntarily cooperate with their staff during the weigh-in process. It’s all part of their mission to streamline their services.

Safety and Confidentiality

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand has given its approval for this initiative. Rest assured, your weight information will remain confidential and will be used solely for the purpose of improving service quality.

The Role of Passenger Weight Data

The data collected from this exercise is used in determining the standard and average passenger weight. This, in turn, allows airlines to distribute weight more effectively on international flights.

By optimizing weight distribution, airlines can reduce fuel consumption, thereby making air travel more eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Airlines Embracing the Trend

AirAsia Thailand is not the only airline in Thailand to introduce passenger weigh-ins. Thai Lion Air joined the trend, weighing passengers from October 17 to 20. They aim to build a database of average passenger weights, contributing to greater accuracy in flight planning.

Even Bangkok Airways is considering implementing this practice, signaling a growing trend in the Thai aviation industry.

WOMAN EAT MOOKATA HALFWAY GIVE BIRTH, TELLS STAFF, “I’LL BE BACK TO FINISH THE FOOD”

0

In a quaint restaurant in Thailand, a truly unique and heartwarming incident unfolded. An expectant mother, savoring her mookata meal, suddenly went into labor.

Rather than panicking, she made an extraordinary request, leading to a series of events that would leave anyone amazed.

The Unexpected Incident

It was a typical day in a cozy Thai restaurant when an extraordinary event occurred. The expectant mother was savoring her mookata, a delightful Thai hotpot and barbecue meal, when her water broke.

This unexpected incident caught everyone by surprise. The restaurant’s staff sprang into action, preparing to transport her to the hospital.

As the restaurant’s staff readied themselves to rush her to the hospital, the pregnant woman made an unusual request. She asked them not to clear her table, as she intended to return and continue her meal after giving birth.

She explained that she hadn’t had the chance to enjoy her meal properly yet. This unexpected request left the staff and the restaurant’s owner amazed.

The Generous Restaurant Owner

The restaurant’s owner, Yuthaphum Kaewkhem, also known as Boom, was touched by the pregnant customer’s request. He decided to respond to her unique plea with an even more extraordinary gesture.

Boom offered to provide her with free meals for the next nine months. His thoughtfulness and generosity were truly remarkable. He suggested that, for the time being, she should focus on delivering her baby.

A Unique Delivery

As the day went on, the pregnant customer gave birth to her baby. Interestingly, the baby’s due date was supposed to be on October 27, but it arrived early.

Boom jokingly attributed the early arrival to the enticing aroma of meat from the mookata meal. This humorous twist to the story added an extra layer of charm to the already heartwarming narrative.

After the birth, Boom shared pictures of himself with the new mother and her newborn. It was a joyous reunion, filled with smiles and laughter. The incident had created an extraordinary bond between the restaurant owner and the new mother, cementing this day as a memorable one.

A Gift from the Heart

The story didn’t end there. In a heart-touching video, Boom was seen visiting the new mother at the hospital. He had brought a special gift – a mookata grill set, complete with all the ingredients, utensils, and sauces. This thoughtful gesture showcased the kindness and warmth of humanity.

He didn’t forget the newborn either; Boom gifted the baby a piece of jewelry. These gestures went beyond the ordinary and displayed the power of compassion and generosity.
