anon4637435435 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 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.
