This scam I had been warned about for several years in Koh Samui:
Farang invites a pole swinger or even a "regular" girl to go out. The next day a man and/or woman knocks on his door saying they are the parents and demanding that he marry their daughter. After he declines, they give him three options: marry her, give them x,000,000B, or face rape charges. When he also declines this, they come back with the police who then pressure the farang to negotiate or face a prison term. They then split the proceeds with the parents.
In may case I never took the woman out, but simply had dinner with her and her mother at their house, and hugged her in front of her mother when I left. They came at me with the police, saying that a hug or any contact with a woman was illegal in Thailand and I would need to negotiate proper compensation. I contacted a lawyer who at first laughed and then threatened them with a defamation suit. Haven't hear anything back fom them yet, but who knows?
