This is really a great news. If there is nothing to be happy about one thing has stand out which is having house on the water which to me is not in any way cheap and to have finance it with their proceed from bitcoin is something that is soothing to my hearing. The concern to me is staying in a place that you are immune from the law which to me is not something too good. As much as the advantage of not under the rules and regulations, so also is the exposure to attacks of people who cannot be prosecuted because the victim is not under the law or the area where the crime is committed is not beyond the jurisprudence of the law.

I asked a similar question days ago and checked back for a response. I think that would be a main concern if you are just a couple of people out at sea with no law enforcement. Most of the piracy in Southeast Asia is centered in the Malacca area but the Gulf of Thailand do see some every now and then. If the gun restrictions on land don't apply out at the Gulf then I suppose they'd be fine. They can just bring more guns than allowed and shot at the pirates.

The #1 question we get is about all of these so called "pirates" that are apparently just roaming the seas looking for targets.

Seriously...who will go so far out of the way to rob a house that's not on land when there are millions of houses on land? I'm a minimalist so I literally only have a very small amount of things to take. My bitcoins? Good luck...cold storage in the states. There are some beers in the fridge...perhaps that's what they're after?

We are surrounded by a huge amount of fishing boats. We have CB radio and VHF. The fishing boats are all around us day and night. You can see their lights all night as they catch fish. They are in international waters. There are no reports of pirates attacking them and taking their much more valueable fish.

I think a can of soup would be affective as they're trying to climb up onto the platform with no ladder.
