    To find the owner should not be too hard. Follow these steps; 1)  Was the land document falsified ? If yes go to 2) If no go to 3) below 2) Ask the military which General is having it built

  • "has been found"!   I'm sure no officials had any idea about this and none of them will have had a brown envelope delivery on behalf of the landowner!    

  • Please follow up with "after demolition" photo in the future. Until I see it, I won't believe it

Indications are he is not a foreigner.

Don't think too much about the private landing strip... seems a bit too short for me?

So can't be the military, must be for someone in a Benz with dodgy brakes!

PHUKET: A luxury mansion being built in the hills above the Bang Wad reservoir in Kathu will be ordered to be removed for violating the ban on all construction more than 80 metres above sea level, The Phuket News has confirmed

 

Kathu Municipality officials also confirmed to The Phuket News that the luxury mansion is being built illegally as their office have not issued a building permit for the project.

 

Kathu Municipality officials began their investigation into the construction of the house after it was brought to their attention by local residents on Wednesday (Apr 24).

Perhaps it won't be such a bad thing as the rich and entitled pratt might demand his water feature be filled. It's looking a bit dry at present.

No one is over the law. Good news

If you read the story, they did not have permission to build so no officials were involved, except those who discovered the site and have declared the construction as illegal. No brown envelopes involved this time. Sorry to disappoint.

My error- I checked my garmin and the house is recorded at 138m. There are other houses higher up the hill that have been there for years.

The neighbours must not be very observant - it appears construction has being ongoing for several months and has just now been 'found'.
