Thai women warned off foreign men

Post by buksida »

Thai women have been warned to be careful about dating foreign men they meet on social networking sites, because they could end up being tricked, robbed and lured into sexual encounters.

Charoensri Chaikhat, chairwoman of the Phayao Women's Network, said on Wednesday that there have been many reports of Thai women being scammed by foreign men they met on Facebook.

"On Facebook, you cannot tell the true identity of a person on the other end because the person can manipulate photos and use a false name," Mrs Charoensri said.

She said a woman in northern Thailand was recently lured into having sex with a Nigerian man she met on Facebook. The man also stole valuables from her.

I met a girl from Thai Friendly,

she told me that previously she has met a man from Finland, he sent her messages everyday, he then told her he had sent a wedding ring in the post to her.
She received a call from a lady pretending to be Maylasian customs wanting her to pay a customs fee for the ring.

Thats disappointing. I am a white man and I love meeting and dating asian women. It sucks that a couple of bad apples are going to start ruining it for a innocent guy like me.

Yes I'm sure that the article is going to have a massive impact on the Thai female population's attitude towards western men...

They do write some garbage advice here on subjects from some ridiculous -and elderly- figures.....sweeping statements just doesn't do it credit. Reminds me of that casual statement yesterday from the policeman in BBK to impound all cars that are over ten years old and registered there in BBK or charge them disproportionate fees to re-register in an attempt to ease traffic congestion.......lol

I bet she is at the front lines of reform/change and has her finger on the pulse of the nation. She probably has a qualification in the Social Engineering from some university.
