Damn, am 63 myself, yet cannot own a house here and would never want to at my age anyway.

Cannot understand why he burnt the house down?  Listening to Talking Heads and on drugs? 🤔

RIP

House will be in his wifes name.

I suspect the message left regarding his relationship probably means its was over and he saw this as his only way out.

Just been on the Thai news, he had written on the walls "21 years cheating, no more money to give," very sad, at least he is at rest now. RIP.

Do you have source for that or are you just making unfounded assumptions?

Considering the message, all his money was probably in his pocket

Its in the story.  He set up the fire using gas cylinders, and probably petrol too - then he it from oputside I guess - that is why he was found hanging on the wall/fence outside the house.  Sad that he thought it was the only way out of his situation.  RIP.

"There was a spray-painted message on an exterior wall, saying, "21-year cheating but never enough, f*** you".

It was in the papers this morning with the additional 'f*** you' sprayed on the wall where he was found. 

Bit of an over-reaction, but we're all different.

Perhaps that's the story?

It is not his, at least not the ground. Not everyone is still in the "giving' ,ode, if things go sideways, after some time.

But let's wait, there is always a chance that the two events didn't happen in the  expected chronology

I'm surprised BP didn't censor the F word.

His wife can't inherit?

Indeed. He wasn't planning on using it anymore, and was part of his f u exit plan.  She was likely the legal owner.

i understand the house burning  part...most likely he bought the house land and everything else in her name...now after this 21 y. he might have found out that her " brother' in fact was her real husband...and that he sponsered both of them all through this years...he confronted her than she moved and told him to get out of her house...than he snapped...

scenarios like this are not uncommon in the land of smiles

there are plenty of nutters who marry thai beer bar girls....

not everytime it ends like this ...from the thousands who get screwed loose and move on you dont hear in thai media
