British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
'An argument over garden territory'. It's far from clear what the argument was precisely about. While the Brits could own the house they could not own the land/garden on which it is located. Possibly some form of lease involved, but unlikely. Something was said to trigger the violence over what was likely to have been a relatively minor issue. In any country, anywhere, foreigners would be well advised to stay calm, and be polite at all times.

Will Thailand always remain a Third World Country?
Anyone who has lived in what used to be called a third world country would not apply that description to Thailand. A developing country would be more appropriate.
