Locked Up Abroad! Help Repay Bribes – Samui resident asks for help!
A resident of Koh Samui recently found herself locked up in jail after papers she thought were legal and correct and allowed her to run a backpacker resort were correct. However they were not. Loren has shared her story on a Go Fund Me page – here is what it says.
Hi, I’m Loren, as most of you probably know. I’m a traveler and try to be open and honest always, and as a result I have the most incredible luck. I always say it’s not always good luck, but always incredible!
This week my incredible luck was incredibly bad...

old saying "let the buyer beware"
she tried to get by on the cheap rather than doing it legal, everyone here that does business knows there is the quick cheap easy way to do things but ...it has its risks
to bad many take that option

-the Chinese think it's to their benefit if they 'squire' these local Asian nations. (I didn't say smaller!)
-the Chinese are new at this...(prolly?)
-We (that's the plural we of 'us' westernish types) have been doing it for a loooooooong time. just sayin'
-'we know' some times is ain't so much fun. keeping countries that sit side by each and don't always get along, well keeping them in a state of 'along' is tough.
-good luck on the Chinese. maybe it will even things out a bit and reduce the freaking cost!!!!
just sayin' as it were.
cheers
