Daily News Thai Caption: No place to live

 

The surviving members of a family in Krabi face homelessness after a bank ordered them to get out of two houses by mid July.

 

Jaree Buttherp was the grandfather of Worayuth Sanglang, a former phu yai ban or local official in Ban Klang, Krabi, southern Thailand, who was murdered along with seven other family members by a man called Surifat and his associates in July 2017, reported Daily News.

 

The case shocked Thailand. Subsequently seven people were given the death sentence including the ringleader. 

 

Now a bank has said that the family members still alive must pay 3 million baht owed on two mortgaged properties by July 15th or they will be evicted and the properties sold on the open market. 

 

These are properties mortgaged by Worayuth where the assassinations took place. 

 

Jaree's own property was mortgaged by the killer in another deal so the family will have nowhere to live.

 

They are victims and yesterday presented their case to the Krabi office of the Thai Ministry of Justice seeking help. 

 

They said that 10 family members will have no place to live if the bank follow through on their threats.

So it begs the question if the properties were mortgaged why haven't repayments been made?

Or have the tenants been squatting since the murders and not paid the banks?

If in America, gofundme would produce hundreds of millions of baht.   no joke.  Thais need to get together and help these people.

Ex gf left me with house. It has taken 4 years for them to start auction let alone the sale.  These people had lots of notice and opportunity to talk to bank or make arrangements.  They can also still buy the property or clear the debt.  

 

Sorry but just like people in the west they want something to or free.
