You need to use reverse psychology to get back at this man

Go into town and find important people and tell them the owner of the trees was talking about them behind their backs !!

I do this with work colleagues, I start off by telling them to keep it to themselves then tell them I don't really want to say anything but Jack or Jimmy or whoever was bad mouthing them behind their backs !

You need to be a thorn in his side

Good way to get disappeared. An angry ladyboy or monkey could do the job. Nobody would care.

Take care mate.

Don't know why people want to make it such a big drama.

I just cut what's overhanging and then get rid of it myself.

I wouldn't throw it back on the neighbours propery.

Planting trees next to the boundary seems to be a common Thai problem. We have several different tree types where the branches overhang our boundary. I just use the Australian law where you cut them off but must return the cuttings to your neighbors land.

I have seen them planting as close to the land border as possible go to extremes here, one farmer that had the main highway(Surat Thani to Krabi) running through next to his border dug out the angled base support for the road running through a gully so it was perpendicular to the road to plant 1 rubber tree. Needless to say the road ended up collapsing and one lane was blocked off while they reinforced the base for some time, have also seen where they have built their house right along the road then put up a veranda that actually over hung the road, seems they think if they own the land they can use all of it to the extreme and ignore the laws.

Technically, you are guilty of theft if you do not return it. In reality they would probably thank you.

Yep

And getting on with your neighbours helps.

Oh dear , you really know how to hurt a lady

Bredbury Blue has the best advice, but I would add the Phu Yai Ban (village headman) to it. So that means the steps would be:

1. Do not cut the branches.

2. Talk to your neighbour - if you can - and ask them to trim the branches giving them plenty of Thai Time. Record details of the talk - time, place, participants and what was said.

3. If that fails or cannot be done, email your neighbour - if you can - and ask them to trim the branches giving them plenty of Thai Time. Save the email and any response.

4. If that fails or cannot be done, talk to your Phu Yai Ban and, if necessary, show him/her the problem and any records of discussions with your neighbour.

5. Follow their advice, but if you disagree with their advice, then you have a problem. You need to have the phu yai ban involved in case of the problem escalating.

As Thai Law Online states " The phu yai ban is the lowest level of Thai administrative authority, responsible for maintaining public order, resolving minor local disputes, and witnessing certain civil transactions such as land-use rights and private loan agreements in rural areas."

The simplest solution: I gave my neighbor a one-week deadline according to Section 1347 of the Civil and Commercial Code Thailand, which he ignored. So I gave my gardener 500 baht and he cut everything back. No problem!

Yeah but there are many around here that are too scared to exercise sensibility. And if branches are landing on your house then you certainly don’t need to notify anyone as it’s a hazard.

I imagine the OP has to hire a cherry picker and then hire a person to cut the branches etc

Is it his responsibility,?
