They still haven't found the killers of the investigator of the land frauds that was here in Phuket.
That being said some people make money being a land developer but that requires quite a bit of capital and expertise.

It sounds pretty risky when you are potentaily putting your life on the line to make a few quid.
Sounds like my friend may have got off lightly, I would not call loosing £15,000 lightly but I have read worse tales on the net. Houses being stolen is one I often see.
It is funny Thailnd looks such a nice easy going place(on the Surface). It is strange for us guys because we smile when we are happy and don't when we are not! So everything seems a little sereal in Thailand, it did to me at least.
