Congrats! Civil society in action. It seems that more and more farangs are publicly taking care of their affairs and interest. The real estate speculators will hate it but it might provide a turn for the better in pattaya.

It's not only the farangs. Many Thai co-owners are also involved in this action. It's a united effort.
