400 sqm is a 1/4 of a rai and merely double the size of the smallest plot which the cheapest housing projects use. That's not enough space to build anything luxury by any standards. Look at the pictures, it looks like he used half of the lot so I don't see how that house be any more than 100sqm. It's like 12,000 per square meter average to build so this guy got totally ripped off by the developer. These houses are just concrete cubes and if they put lots of glass in them they look fancy is all. Maybe 50% of the cost was the land (so it like 30m baht per rai there?? yeah right) but that still means he got ripped off.

Hua Hin has a whole industry of selling overpriced real estate to Farang. 5m baht for some concrete cube on a tiny piece of land squashed together next to a bunch of other chumps. I'd stay far away from the tourist ghettos and over touristed places where the developers have their fangs in deep.

Exactly all our countries take in Thai's and let them work and this how they treat us in their country. We're just getting played at this point by letting them immigrate without full reciprocity in Thailand.

A Thai person can get a take a restful nap in the dirt next to a highway during rush hour and think nothing of it. Noise does nothing to them. Never have I seen the Thai police stop even a single kid for modifying their bike and making tons of noise. If they actually cared they would enforce their own laws.

Check out his video tonight. Some freelancer doesn't like him filming and hits him in the back. He turns around and yells at her and she flashes him her tits. He's gotta get out of that city for this sanities sake.

oh I didn't know he was married before since he never mentioned it. His current wife looks miserable and he doesn't get along with the family. It's looks so terrible, I really feel for the guy. He's doing a great job chronicling how to ruin your retirement in Thailand though so there's that.

I don't know the backstory but Mark really seemed to lose his mind on him. Seems this could have been resolved before getting to this point but who knows.

That video sparked some serious drama. He mention another YouTuber (Dr. Mark Sabeen or something) and this promoted him to make a response. The guy really flew off the handlebars. 30 minutes hurling insulates at Steve.

This Irish guy can be very entertaining. He's heading for a mental breakdown if you ask me and the poor guy is in a real bad spot. Had a kid with a woman (who earns more than him and appears to really dislike him from what I can gather) and has to fight rush hour in Bangkok to take him to school. The worst part is his wife's family house in Pathumthani they go to on the weekends. It looks so horrible and depressing out there. He's way too deep in with her family too. No private time. All in all a nightmare. I hope he makes it out but until then I predict he's going to get more and more agitated. Good luck to him, he needs it.

Not us though just those other guys.

Are we not at liberty to say we simply don't want to live around men who wear robes and women dressed like mailboxes? I wouldn't want to live in southern Thailand or Indonesia for this same reason. You only get one life and can live in so many places so we should be able to chose according to our preferences.

People won't admit it but they really are in fact racist and don't want to live around Arabs and Africans so they make it about religion. It's not the religion if you ask me. Even if you turned them all Christians you would have same the culture and racial tensions. I don't think "Islamophobia" would be a thing if Muslims were fellow Europeans merely practicing a different religion.

The exact same playbook in the US. Your vote as American is worthless because they just import new voters and bribe them (using your tax dollars of course).

I actually kind of like this. Maybe if the cops themselves are the ones getting hurt they'll start enforcing the law. Merci Mohammed. 🙏

They look like such nice guys I wonder what got in to them....

with a face like that who could say no?

I'd be more worried about jail than my reputation at this point.

No way it's worse than Pai. Maybe Thailands worst tourist ghetto and it attracts only these types.

I don't know if they're lying to get out of trouble or they're really too stupid to understand how their driving is dangerous. How many times have you seen these people speeding around in pickups driving like <deleted>. They do this all day every day and then when one of them kills his child he's shocked and crying, doesn't know what happened maybe it was brake failure, micro-sleep etc... etc... Are you stupid or lying is the question.

Someone needs to sue the car manufacturers for allowing Thailand to import cars which are effectively being used a dangerous weapons. It's basically like selling a machine gun to an 8 year old. Of course they going to screw up and kill somebody.

Maybe Thailand should consider enforcing speed limits and reckless driving laws. Yeah right that will never happen because it would require those fatties in tight brown suits to get off their bums and do something. Just saw this one today. Guys months only baby dies in the crash and it was probably his own fault. They actually show him crying with the body wrapped on the side of road. "Microsleep" is always to blame. Are they so dense they seriously don't understand what they're doing is dangerous? It's all fun and games until they crash and then it's tears but why can't they connect the dots...

more hubs than you can shake a spoke at.

The racism here is getting out of control. Listen, if you can speak French then you _are_ French. I can bark, therefore I am dog. Understand? It's that simple.

Just dystopian fiction based on speculation. Nothing to see here. The Camp of the Saints (French: Le Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail.[1][2][3] A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world. Almost 40 years after its initial publication, the novel returned to the bestseller list in 2011.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints

You're really jumping the gun here. If you go to the right tax office they may allow you pay taxes based their own personal understanding of the matter and may even be making up rules that don't exist in law. Good work you've found out how to give money to government. You could have been doing this years ago if you wanted to btw.
