Well this experiment quickly turned into a nightmare! I saw on the news tonight that the government pulled the house into the harbour and the owners are supposedly on the run. They say that they can give the death penalty or life imprisonment for people who infringe on their countries sovereignty. Shocked

They say the owners of the house is an American citizen and this house was floating in their economic zone. Roll Eyes

I hope the couple is safe and they will get out of that country before this goes to court. Angry

It was a dream come true for them but ended up as a nightmare instead of happily ever after.
I also have a question for them,why did they choose seastead instead of a yacht or a houseboat?

I read somewhere inside the forum where theymos replied to that specific thread that the OP himself is the one who did this, he's family is now being held in Thailand for possible death penalty or life imprisonment.
