rickudon Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Nearly every country with a sea boundary have territorial claims well beyond the '12 mile limit'. This includes mineral rights and fishing rights. These claimed rights often extend out to the edge of the continental shelf (or if you are China or Russia, nearly entire seas and oceans!). No country is going to passively allow territorial claims within these zones. You have to work with the governments involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very well, but..... is it likely that this wee little occupied buoy actually “cause the country or parts of it to fall under the sovereignty of a foreign state or deterioration of the states independence”?

tingtongtourist Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 why they not go after the companies and people that helped him? im sure he didnt dream the concept and built it himself? yes, its the same old story, he is stupid for believing thais who told him " yes, can do, no problem" Really you have to cringe EVERY time some stupid farang outlays money in a ridiculous project in Thailand. I really dont know whats worse, -not doing research and believing the Thai con men or even worse..some woman with a 6th grade education or - thinking you are the big farang whos gonna make a lot of money. but this project was never gonna get to far in this political climate. its probably the most ridiculous and stupid idea (or con) ive ever heard and i have heard many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to what he's said he both didn't build it and doesn't own it at all. He was just staying there as a guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just staying there as a guest. Or was that "resident Sales Person" ? I have no problem with the concept. Yet if such schemes contravene or are not promoted with the co operation of territorial authorities either in proximity or territorial dispute then it goes beyond the "concept". Despite the video which came across as a virtuous declaration of right to quite simply establish with oceanic territorial immunity in international waters it was primarily a sales pitch which gave the impression these two were more than just guests. I hope they escape any further persecution for the folly. Maybe they have returned to similar oceanic lifestyle off the coast of Australia.

Would you bet your life or your freedom that you wouldn't be made an example of? I certainly wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
