fbk Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have a property in northern Thailandl, Chiang Mai. It is a resort in the making. I have 6 cabins built and would be happy to allow someone to stay in them during this time of crisis. 2 cabins have running water and electricity the other 4 don't but would not take much to get them operational. 0892213489 call me if you need a place to stay Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was renting them out, would he need to "allow" people to stay in them. Not everyone is a cold-hearted pr*ck like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbk Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I realize in this day and age it is hard to imagine doing something with no string attached for someone else. hmmm Having said that yes they can stay free until the mess in southern Thailand gets cleaned up and is suitable for rehabitation.

cdnvic Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 That's very good of you fbk, could you clarify that this is indeed an offer of help, and not a commercial post? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbk Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 This is not a commercial proposition. I just thought that since I had 6 cabins, someone, in need, might be able to use them for temporary housing. I'm sure with all the flooding and moving many might be at a finacial crisis point also and need a place to hang their hats. Families are welcome. Its just me and my Thai wife on 6 rai with 6 cabins and building the office restaurant is in process. So we are not open for buisness. I hope this makes it clear to all what my intentions are.

Rick Hi Rick: Great of you to offer, would like to come up with the Mrs and young son and help you finish things off but will try to stick it out here in Bangkok for a bit.

So unless a mod can see fit to allow me to post a link. Pictures will not be available for 72 hrs. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Cheers mate, I think we will be OK (5th floor) but right next to the river. There are others out there that are swamped as we speak that could use it more than us.

I know the world is changing where compassion for your fellow man is dying but there are still a few kindhearted souls left on the planet. I just hope that it doesn't come back and bite him when the crisis is over and he wants to open his resort as a business. Just hope he can get them out again when the time comes. What are the squatting laws in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Those that need the kind of help Rick is offering tend not to be able to make use of such generosity No money to go all the way to Chiangmai , not able to take time off work as offices are still open Things like that But a very generous offer. Hope it can be taken up by those in need. Thanks Rick. Those concerned about squatting - remember that there are people who have let others affected by the floods into their homes. I think people are generally good hearted and will not turn round to bite the hands that feed them (well I hope mostly not!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
