Idiots

Geez those people are stupid.

I’m wondering if that guy was secretly into bondage stuff and used this as an excuse.

I guess he was a leave rather than remain voter.

A woman would have been better at multitasking. That’s why we’ve had no reported accidents involving women masturbating while driving.

Typical example of an arrogant, idiotic expat thinking the rules don’t apply to him (in this case, international waters). This one is a doozy though. He could face the death penalty for building his stupid sea base. I feel sorry for him, but play stupid games…

Really stupid. But I cannot say that’s deserving of the death penalty.

Yeah that’s not Kansas

I agree. Totally not deserving. He should just be deported or something. But only idiots do illegal stuff in SE Asia. They don’t joke around with their death penalty.

Perhaps I’ve missed it, but I didn’t see anything clearly stating if their seastead was in international waters or not.

My experience is quite a few foreigners go there thinking they can do whatever they want on vacation and just go crazy with no regard for personal safety or local laws. It is somewhat true and they do bring a lot of money and spend it. But there’s no going back from certain things once they decide to get you.

I didn’t click on that article but read up on this elsewhere.

He says he’s in international waters. Thailand disagrees.

I got that part. However, this should be something easy to be confirmed, no?

No idea. Does a guy squatting in some sort of abandoned floating tool shed hire international attorneys to look into it or do people who police such matters even care about people like him?

I really have no idea who polices such matters and have always believed it’s the nearest country that polices the ‘borders’. I mean, it’s not like nearly any other country in Asia can agree on where such lines lie.

Somehow I don’t think this guy is an expert on maritime law. I’m going to trust the Thai government over weirdo expat that wants to set up his own libertarian offshore fiefdom.
