I Went To The Expat Club For Advice - Now I Am Broke & Working In A Rice Field
This is 60-yr-old Malcolm Leggett. He used to be wealthy. Now he’s broke and toiling in the rice paddies in North East Thailand just for the roof over his head and food on his plate.
Why? ‘Because I took advice from the Chairman of the Pattaya ExPats Club,’ he says.
Malcolm was a successful businessman, running M.J. Leggett Builder-Carpenter, in New Milton, Hampshire. He was happily married, it seems, for 17 years before he and his Thai wife arrived back in Thailand in 2004 and settled in Pattaya where they already had a home ready.
With a £500,000 nest egg from his work and the sale of two houses the couple began to operate a building business there.
He built nine houses and an apartment block of 30 apartments. But, as can happen, the marriage soured. His wife Orapin who had taken over the finances, then, he says, warned him ‘ to get out of town’ and, in her words, he had now 'lost everything'.
In desperation he turned to the Pattaya Expats Club, run by Scandinavian(Dansk )colourful ‘businessman’ Niels Colov, owner of the Pattaya People newspaper and television station, and the former President of two Pattaya Rotary Clubs.
