Originally ALL the houses built on the hills on Samui were illegal.

I believe in the ret of the country it is illegal to build on land over 19 degrees from the horizontal?

It is funny Netizens are the ones who call out on most illegalities. Power of social media and internet.

If they really want to teach her a lesson just tear it down as building permission has yet to be granted.

Somehow, I suspect brown envelopes are already at work since the house is clearly nearly finished without any legal papers in place yet.
