PHUKET: A foreign man is being held by authorities after he allegedly set his house on fire in Rawai this morning (Sept 27) then tried to climb the wind turbine near Phromthep Cape in an apparent bid to jump from the top of the structure.

 

Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos reported that firefighters and rescue teams were called to Moo 7 Rawai at about 10am to attend to a house that had caught fire.

 

After the fire had been extinguished, the rescue teams were informed that a man was being held at the wind turbine.

Easy to guess that another foreigner/Thai relation went terribly bad.

And before taking his life he wanted to destroy the house in a last revenge to the hated wife.

(I was frightened to hear another guy to promise doing the same if the relation breaks)

These Thai girls will derail you...

I used to live in moo7. Had a house or 2 actually. Small road but full of crazies which is why our family moved. Sad because its a beautiful place.

Nearly gone with the wind. . .

Moo 7 is an area, not a specific road. Have been living here in moo 7 for 15+ years now.

Poor devil-I hope that he gets help.

One Texican guy told me "Man, I don't know what happened, I have been happily married for 25 years and along comes this Thai girl and I left my wife for her - I think she put a spell on me or somthing!!"   I tend to agree, have seen and done some very stupid things concerning Thai Girls in my 40 some years associated with the kingdom.

Some troll posts have been removed. 

He should have listened to 'Queen' ' any way the wind blows nothing really matters to me, to meeeeee'

It will be the same old story that never changes.

Middleaged farang marries poor Thai girl

Farang buys land/house with his money 100% 

Farang puts title deed in her name to make it legal and because he wants to impress her.

Farang discovers she still has a Thai sami or farang  lover

Farang starts drinking and arguing with her.

Farang decides to burn the house down to spite the wife.

Farang arrested for trying to destroy someone elses property.

THAISTYLE !!

Never changes.

These crazy foreigners coming in to big numbers, and think it is easier to live in Thailand than home in their orign country. That is the problem.

 

Most skipping normal common sense, and do things they never would have done home is 2. That comes to my mind.
