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. -

News Forum - Brit stabbed to death with sickle by Thai neighbour, inquest hears
What's your point? Farang here for any length of time figure out the arrangement. Then he can make his mind up about whether to have a wife or not. People seem to forget women used to stay home and not work circa. 1950s What do you expect them to do while washing your filthy boxers? Sit with a cup near BTS and rely on kindness of strangers to earn a few baht a day? Yes, the reality is this woman was this guy's "wife" (afaik) as they say in Thailand. Her income stream is now gone and chances are this bloke did not plan for early retirement and set aside some funds for her care in case of this type of situation. All the while she was most likely washing, cooking, cleaning, c**king, keeping him company and interacting on his behalf with locals. If anything it is Farang being selfish and uncaring, not the other way around. If you want unconditional love i recommend an english bulldog or a cat. If you want to be treated well in Thai manner i recommend a Thai wife. I don't know what you expect? Should a woman suddenly adapt unconditionally to your cultural expectations while you live in her country, in her town, surrounded by Thai culture and language we, as Farang, only have a small glimpse in to unless we learn their language? If i'm wrong please elaborate. Thank you.
