Peterphuket Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 3 hours ago, Pique Dard said: ...i hope, for her sake, that home was insured Thai and insurance are contradictions. Incidentally it is common knowledge that Thai people hold gold as insurance but in case of fire, not much of that remains either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 'The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.' As is the source of the one million baht she didn't put in the bank? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) I bet the house owner was really peed, imagine how that would sound in a reference for a new Tenancy if they had those in Thailand like so many other countries.
