Thailand, with it's easy going lifestyle and nice weather and food and relatively low cost of living is chosen by many retirees as the place to life their golden years.
This is very understandable but there are pitfalls as we will highlight in this blog.
Besides that one has to be on alert for any type of scam and criminal, which is common in most countries, there is a special breed of con-men here, the well dressed smooth talking foreigners, who's aim is to accumulate your life savings in their bank accounts one way or another. In this blog we will warn the unsuspected about the methods these con-men employ to reach their goals. Please stay put for detailed info and of course one is encouraged to share their experiences as well. Only verifiable information will be allowed, false accusations even in a question form may be removed.
The well-known accredited crime journalist Andrew Drummond has exposed many foreign con-men living in Thailand. We will occasionally post links from his blog here as they are well documented, researched and proven facts.
We start with Master Conman Drew Walter Noyes, who's whole adult life seems to have been centered around falsely pretending to be an honest respectable person, while to opposite has been proven true.
For a start his latest con which actually went terribly wrong as it was a sting operation by the Bangkok Police. The local police force was (is) suspect of not being able to organise this sting due to involvement with the criminal himself.

Why repeating stories when one can find the basics here. It is imperative to read Dr. Hare's assessment of Psychopathy to understand with what we are dealing with.
