Building Distance To Neighbor's Fence

[Jomtien]

Hello,

One of my neighbours started with an additional construction, one other neighbor went to a lawyer, who wrote up a letter.

In the letter the Lawyer states;

'Distance should not be less than 50 cms, if the new wall has a window the distance should be not less than 2 meters.'

Does anyone know if this 50 cm versus 2 meters, is only for a single story building, or is this valid for any construction also if it is a 2-3 level story house. Or are there a different set of rules.

Note: lawyer did not stipulate in the letter if it was for single or multilevel walls.

thanks

Does anyone know if this 50 cm versus 2 meters, is only for a single story building, or is this valid for any construction also if it is a 2-3 level story house. Or are there a different set of rules.
