In Thailand, the American face the death penalty for a house on the water (Video)

According to the law of Thailand, such a punishment is for building and living in a dwelling that floats on the high seas.

A US citizen and his Thai girlfriend are accused of threatening the independence of the Kingdom of Thailand after authorities discovered their house built on water in 22 kilometers off the coast of Phuket Island. Reports about it ″TASS″ (″ТАСС″).

Under the law of Thailand for the construction and accommodation in a dwelling that floats on the high seas, they could face the death penalty.

The American himself claims that his house is located 24 kilometers from the coast, that is, outside the territorial waters of Thailand.

The police noted that representatives of the Navy Kingdom should meet with the authorities of Phuket, to discuss further action. The couple did not request permission from Thailand before they began building their home.
