Filling in land
Several different approaches possible depending on your budget and/or long term goals. You'll probably never sell a non-Thai style house because western amenities add costs Thai people don't want. I added some illustrative images and photos for you. Your other strategy could be drive around looking for ongoing construction projects to see how they are working. Or go and look at houses that are for sale. -

News Forum - Music teacher assaults 10 year old girl with ADHD in Nonthaburi school
This incident is really sad, the music teacher needs some music. despite there is a ban on beating the students he did it, he has a lot of guts. More over the kids has a personal issue too. this is senseless and pathetic. -

News Forum - Move Forward Party opposes alcohol ban on Buddhist holidays
Agree with your point that businesses should be free to sell and serve alcohol across the board; restrictions reek of the old guard control where freedom wasn't even lip service. People should be free to drink if they want to But after having lived in both countries (Japan and Thailand), the differences in culture with regard to consideration of the effect that their (impulsive and destructive) actions may have on others is quite noticeable. Yes, both groups can get rowdy drunk. But one is much more likely to pull a knife or worse when challenged with a loss of face with no consideration for the ramifications. Quite a bit has to do with the enforcement of "rules". Japanese love rules and law enforcement will throw the book hard at you for drink driving- it costs plenty in fines as well as negative employment consequences even in the private sector. In the other place, they can rarely be bothered to pull over speeding vehicles and plenty of defectable vehicles of all sorts; neighbors and property developers seldom give a sheet about noise pollution and often the cops ask "how much will you pay me to come there" when an average citizen calls to report a yaba daba doer in possession of a blade and menacingly poking it in the air after an argument ensues.. Not really better or worse, just better for some and worse for others.
