British Woman Disappears After Damaging Chiang Mai Condo

There is no way there is 500,000 baht's worth of damage, Just looks more like a mess to me, A couple of black bin bags and few hours deep cleaning would sort that out,

She should not have done that, I hope you can bring her back and charge her,

I love the housekeeper’s logic: 'I thought she would be clean because she was a foreigner.' Clearly, she’s never been to a music festival in the UK or seen a British high street at 2 AM on a Sunday.

Just another farang head case acting badly in Thailand.

Something similar happened last year with another Brit tourist trashing their accommodation.

Fine, order to clean up, deport and blacklist for 10 years.

Got to agree with you there. Yes she was a piggy but half a million baht

Naaaaaaa.

M.I.A since March? 1) Left the country. Quick check of IMM departure records would confirm this 2) Is staying at another place in the country and I thought the strict enforcement of TM-30 policies was going to track where all foreigners are spending their nights 3) Is roaming the streets of LOS as a homeless foreigner 4) Is staying at a place where TM-30's are not filed and payments are made only In cash with a wink and nod. If the actual damages is indeed 500K Baht then is a warrant for the arrest of this foreigner for felony vandalism been executed yet? The latest bit of news is that the PM has now instructed local government leaders to deal with foreigners behaving badly. Ok, let's get it started with this foreigner and put less of an emphasis on foreigners having sex in the back of tuk tuks.

Well a repaint. But maybe some furnishings need to be replaced.

Not a day without... and now doubling down 😋

Landlord says, thought a falang would be cleaner than a thai. That would indicate, in general thais, are bad tenants and leave a mess behind. Police say, landlords need to scrutinize falangs more... ?

One may also ask why would someone go through the bother to buy paint and toss paint all over the place? Revenge? Revenge for what?

Leaving hats hanging around like that, do these people have no shame?

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the tenant got wind that she wasn't going to be getting her (most likely 2 month) deposit back and just left angry prior to end of tenancy. Quite common here for landlords to weasel their way out of returning deposits, especially that of foreigners and even in cases when there is documented evidence of pre tenanted condition..........................

My mate used to rent out accommodation in England. His golden rule was never rent to females unless they shared with a male. Young girls sharing together were the worst. He reckoned males would force each other to clean and refuse to live in filth, whereas with females, they would always accept if one was on the messy side.

Would landowner insurance been available to reduce cost of tenant destruction?

Grubby behaviour by the Brit. however no background story as yet.

A British woman has disappeared after allegedly leaving a rented condominium in Chiang Mai filled with rubbish and extensive damage, with repair costs estimated at 500,000 baht.

OMG, I thought only Ukrainian women can do something like that! 🇺🇦

One from the riffraff brigade.

Out with her. No Return ever!

This woman deserves to play the full refurbishment costs

There won't be many here having any Sympathy thoughts for her

The TV is gone...Tweakers

I have sympathy for the woman as the landlord is clearly a greedy $#%@. That apartment wasn't worth 500,000 in redecorating costs.

Yeah but there's some ppl who are well spoken and look put together but they are absolute slobs in their private space. That is probably what they meant

What is the black thing on the table? Is it a mobile?

While it looks like this tenant has done a runner and deliberately vandalized the place, it's possible someone else did this and the tenant might have met with foul play herself. It's a possibility.

It has nothing to do with damage and everything with how much can she get from tenant or insurance.

I am questioning 25k a month seems high

I’m sure they will be able to track her down through the information she provided to the Immigration Department with her last TM-47.

I would have thought a rental agreement would include the full name and passport details or copy. Not mentioned in the article. Also, the photo shows one part of a room, nothing else.

This is always how it starts: just a couple of bad apples, and ALL foreigners in Thailand suffer.

Stricter visas, higher deposits, hate from locals ...

I really hope the police find her, court, jail and pay the full costs. There is no reason in the world to do such things. Ban for life and deport, as well as all the others on today’s news.

I’m sick and tired of foreigners behaving badly and illegally.

I’ve seen a small hotel in Pattaya that was practically wrecked by a group of Chinese. It’s disgusting behavior. Thailand, wake up !

As someone who does renovations and buys lots of furniture and tvs, I can tell you that you can do quite a bit for 500,000 baht. From the description of the damage, I'd take one of those zeroes off the 500,000 baht estimate.

I would never live in a dump like that.

And, I hate the color PINK.
