Seems this guy wanna go all the way to court...that is up to him, then we will get some nice interest on our outstanding with him....a few hundred thousand THB in interest is always welcome!

But maybe the guy is simply broke? I see from several websites that he is trying to sell his car! I hope you and this guy come to an agreement, because this sort of "promotion" will only harm his reputation and cost him his guest's confidence.

All I wanted was the money he owed my wife for her job selling his house. I tried for a long time to reason with him and mentioned that in case he did not pay, I would write an article about this, but the guy just laughed and called me a "psycho" and "ass hole". So Thomas Mehlhorn actually forced me to publish this as not to look like a man that is all talk but no action! I am not worried that Thomas Mehlhorn will sue me, I have only told the truth and we have a free press in Thailand! The catch? Well....now I had the opportunity to warn my broker colleagues out there to be aware of Mr. Mehlhorn's way of selling his property! Hi Ted,

If he sues you then it will most probably cost you more than you will get from him by just dragging him to court! So what is the catch? Why do you name and shame this guy in public??

So what is the catch?

Must try it out next time I visit Khanom! I usually do not travel 10,000 km just to eat Scandinavian Food....I simply love Thai food too much. But I will give this one a try!
