What is Truth?
For a long time I have been convinced that “the truth” has many variants and the question is often which variant comes closest to the real truth.
Take the story from a few days ago now”Every man's specter”. We see a video and the accompanying text from a journalist tells us that it is a matter of adultery. A woman comes home unexpectedly to find her boyfriend in her bedroom with a strange woman. She chases the girl naked out of her condo. The lady of the house utters all kinds of curses at the apparently hired lady companion, but we do not hear any abuse against her boyfriend. Pretty obvious thing, we think, but is it the truth? No, probably not!
Amir TV
The Thai TV channel Amarin investigated and let the three protagonists speak by phone in the "Tup Toh Khaw" show to each declare their truth. So it concerns Nuch, the owner of the condo, her boyfriend Pet and the naked girl Kae.
Now:
“I am a good and beautiful woman. I've known my boyfriend for six months, the last two months of which we lived together in my condo. I am furious to be cheated in this way and also to the fact that the video has been made public. Why was the girl so anxious in the video? Did I threaten her with a gun? No, no gun, no knife, I just pointed a finger at her.
I sent the clip to a friend and then I lost my cell phone. I was angry and hurt. They did it on the couch in my apartment! I know I did wrong; I work a lot and hard and because of that I didn't spend enough time with my boyfriend, so he needed another woman. I am not his “mia noi” and I am not a companion for hire”.
She ends with: “Life no longer makes sense to me” and bursts into sobs.
pet:
“I had not taken the girl to the condo. She came with a friend of hers after they had been in a bar. They couldn't go home because they were afraid of an alcohol check and I offered them to spend the night with us. They stayed in the bedroom and I in the living room. That friend had suddenly disappeared without saying anything to me and left the girl alone in the bedroom. I had no idea what she was doing in the bedroom - was she naked? My girlfriend came back and completely misunderstood the situation. The important thing is that I had nothing to do with the girl.
My girlfriend took a video of it, but didn't have a gun. The girl is not a professional prostitute. I want justice for both of them”.
Where (the next day)
"They both lie. I came to the condo at the man's request and yes, we had sex. Why was I so scared? I was naked and the woman threatened to put the video she recorded online. I begged her not to, but she did. I've already tried to commit suicide by jumping out of my apartment, but a friend of mine stopped me. I'm ashamed and don't want to see that clip at all. I'm not a girl for sale. I am a beautiful woman and do modeling. But now my whole life is ruined by those two.”
And she, too, bursts into sobs.
Conclusion
Conclusion? Well, not from me this time, but I'll be careful not to point an accusing finger. You may say, who speaks the truth? Or should a Thai “moving judge” be involved?
About this blogger

Bert Gringhuis (1945), born and raised in Almelo in the beautiful Twente. Later lived for many years in Amsterdam and Alkmaar, working in export for various companies. I first came to Thailand in 1980 and immediately fell in love with the country. Been back many times since then and moved to Thailand after my (early) retirement as a widower. I have been living there for 22 years now with my somewhat younger Thai lady Poopae.
My first experiences in Thailand as a kind of newsletter sent to family, friends and acquaintances, which later appeared under the name Gringo on Thailandblog. Many, many articles followed those first stories and that has grown into an almost daily hobby.
In the Netherlands still an avid footballer and football referee, but the years are starting to tell and in Thailand still avid, but the pool billiards is really of inferior quality, ha ha!

Everything you say as an outsider about this matter is guesswork, because you don't know the real facts!!
I've experienced it myself in Amsterdam, there I walk through the Oosterpark and a white rabbit comes walking with me, even to my house. When I wanted to go to sleep, that bunny also jumped on my bed.
A little later that white bunny turned into a very beautiful woman and she started to seduce me, and I couldn't resist. When we were busy, my wife came in.
Don't let them believe that story about the white bunny.

Strange that everyone tells a story in which they themselves come out terribly well. “I am not a whore”, “I am a Good Samaritan” and “I work a hell of a lot and yes I made that video BUT just put it online myself because I lost my phone”.
I've been through a similar situation where a Thai girl did something very wrong and held on to a version of events where she was completely innocent. And there was crying during her "closing argument". It's really a culture thing apparently...
