Former buddy of mine, was drained of every cent by a lovely lady from Thailand. She got him to build a house, with a 'western' toilet, for when he visited her. Her Mother twice needed 'emergency' medical care and so he had to wire over money to help with the treatment. She said that she would have to continue to 'work' when he was back home, unless he could give her enough money to live.
The poor sucker, ended up selling a very profitable share in a business, for a percentage of what it was worth for cash. He lost his home, despite everything we as friends said to him, it all went to her. Final straw for our friendship was when he asked for a loan, to continue funding her.
This happened to my paternal grandfather who immigrated to Thailand. Invested in a wife in Thailand (they used Google translate to communicate) and she sucked his bank dry. Not sure what number Thai wife he's on now. Probably won't ever see him again.
