Its Strange how they are allowed to be there. Laws are in place. If followed this would not happen. 

Apparently theyll be checking the neighbours to see if the houses are strong enough. How about relocating?

Theres people that live on the river near me illegally. They play the poor card but all have current model vehicles...

The government wouldnt dare do anything. They steal from citizen's taxes and people couldnt careless solong as they can do as they please but moving people out just looks bad so that wont happen. Thats the thai way it seems.

Sounds similar arrangement to travellers/gypsies/ Romany in U.K. Always claim to be poor and downtrodden but have new cars and caravans.

Oh dear ignorance of geography. Sattahip, in Chonburi Province sits on the Gulf of Siam, not the Siam Ocean.

yes I am being pedantic as you were attempting to do, but you failed as your facts were totally wrong. Better luck next time !

You know what I mean. Land as in the space occupied on the beach.
