Being told I have one year to live. While based in Thailand.

[Denim]

Park your car in front of his house in the same way. If he object point out why it is necessary. Might want to hire a car to do this and set up a cctv camera. If he damages the car you show the footage to the car rental company. Let him deal with them.

 

By the way , if he goes through with his threat can I put a reserve on any electrical gadgets you won't be needing in 2022.

 

Cheers in advance.

Having your life threatened is trivial?

 

You're wel'ard.

"Oh."

"You are dead this year. You are <deleted> dead this year."

Thats sounds very threatening.

 

What are you going to fo about this?

 

Does he own the place or rent?

 

What a horrible situation.

Most police stations allow you to pay 500 Baht a month to check your property at least once a night. They usually install a little red police box and leave a book inside in which to record their visits. The red police box may act as a bit of a deterrent.

 

If a neigbour is harrasing you (including by blocking access) then you (your wife) can call the police and ask for help. Normally the police will at least talk to the neighbour. After all, the police are now on your payroll.

 

If escalation is a possibility then, yes, install a discrete security camera and recorder.

[Thingamabob]

Was the nationality of the neighbour clarified earlier ?

If he is a Thai I would advise  caution. You will need to know his background before involving the police.

I think you have miscalculated. Sounds to me like you have a mere three months to live.....

 

I like your writing style, beats heck out of the usual posts, so please spend your last 90 days giving us updates.

 

P.S. What will you be doing with your motorbike? I'm in the market......

I was told I had a  year to live in Thailand, but my contract was extended and I was able to renew my work permit.

[DJ54]

Have your wife or someone that speaks Thai and say  muse of been a misunderstanding and got off

the wrong foot ... hopefully that’ll sort it out. If not then decide what to do... not good situation to have 

a problem neighbor.... Good luck

Go visit him with a pack of Chang and ask him if his house or a car has insurance because you worried both might catch on fire in the middle of the night while he is asleep in the house????

 

Sounds crazy ? Not really . I once had a neighbor who threaten to kill my dogs , with a big smile I replied I only hoped he had house and life insurance. He could not understand , so had to explain , moment my dog gets killed, very high chance his house will catch fire while he is asleep in it.

 

1 week later he moved and never been seen or heard from again

Sometimes have yo get down to their level to deal with them 

I had a similar situation when I first bought my house, with my Thai next-door neighbour regularly blocking my driveway and flying his drone over my property. He became agitated and aggressive when I confronted him about it, so I calmly explained to him that I'd just got out after serving 17 years in jail in Australia for topping my neighbour in Melbourne because he'd <deleted> me off, that I'd moved to Thailand to live peacefully for the rest of my life, and that I really hoped he wasn't going to continue being a problem. He put his house up for sale 3 weeks later and was gone in a month.

[SCOTT FITZGERSLD]

we had a neighbour like that, but not in thailand.

he came new near out house, and rumor had it that hehas a criminal

record and hisbrother was in jail.

than his sons allways parked in our private parking. we had to go and ask them

nicely to move their car. and they would do it. again and again and again, for allmost a year. than they stopped it.

you see, some people are just like that. they want to show they are the boss.

they want to provoke you. to start a fight. and when you do not respond, and

just talk politely and respectfully, one day they will wake up and stop it.

how patient of you, looks like they walked all over you, I think the hammer on his car would have been more effective :)

EFFECTIVE for what? to start a war?

that neighbour caused  many problems, for example he used to walk his dog at 3 AM daily. than

allways "lose" him and start calling him loud. or that his sons use to bar-b- que until 5 or 6 in the morning, in the yard, where all the hood can hear and smell them.

but since it is a very - VERY- quiet neighbourhood, with quiet and religious people, nobody confronted

them as they were used to in their previous hard hood, nobody was angry with them, everybody

just smiled and wellcomed them, until one day, around a  year later, they stopped all the nonsense and became also quiet and considerate. i guess they started hearing their noise and got ashamed of themselves.

[GrandPapillon]

ok, hammer wouldn't have been enough, maybe a rifle? ????

Thank you kindly for your replies.

 

He is from Germany, aged around 30. His partner is a Thai ladyboy.

 

Apparently a neighbor on the other side of their house had the same issue in the last week.

 

The police came today and found a bag containing 400 yaba pills under a rock in their garden, the neighbor and wife have been arrested.

Not sure what 400 yaba costs, but that was the best investment the neighbor on the other side has ever made.

If he is a farang, don't worry too much.  If he is a Thai you should be very worried and maybe move to another location.

Oh dear.

And after two pages, all the predictable types strongly assumed the verbal assailant was Thai. 

 

Have we been humbled as of yet?

So a visit to the neighbour with a big pack of chang/leo/singha/sangsom for a convivial celebration seems in order...

Make an official report of the incident and threat with both Management of the complex and the Police.

 

Anything at all happens in the future to you or proprty no matter how minor and he's got a problem.

I'd add he should install a camera outside his house. My Sinothai neighbors did that to me in 2 different housing estates. In the first estate, they were usually sitting outside watching or waiting for my reaction, but I never flinched. And as I was only renting, I just moved along.

Is he Thai or farang? I also have a very selfish neighbour who would park his cars outside my house. He has four to five cars. 

 

Make a video recording next time when he said those words, it is threatening a life and is illegal.

If he is farang and you are frightened or incapable of sorting him out yourself, pay a couple of Thais to do the business.

If he is Thai, then it is difficult because we are foreigners while they are Thai citizens. They have more rights to Thailand than us in the case of minor skirmishes.
