New House Owner Finds Home Stripped Bare After One Month
A new homeowner in Nong Khai discovered that his recently purchased house had been stripped of all fixtures, including windows, doors, wiring, and the roof, just one month after the purchase. He shared before-and-after photos on Facebook, expressing disbelief and frustration over the theft. Online commenters noted that the sale contract covered the structures, suggesting the previous owner could face legal action.
Because the thief really did it! The new owner was shocked after buying the house for 600,000 baht; within a month it was transformed, leaving only the walls, with windows, doors, electrical wiring, and even the roof stolen. He exclaimed, 'If you weren’t going to steal it when I hadn’t bought it, why not then?' On October 14, 2026, a Facebook user posted photos of a house in Nong Khai province that he had just bought, only to find it completely stripped. He wrote, 'The house cost almost 600,000 baht, you really looted it. When I hadn’t bought it yet, you didn’t come to steal. The wiring, tap, doors, windows, and even the roof are gone.' Along with photos of the house and land taken a month earlier — showing a green house with complete windows, doors, and an extended eave — the later image shows only concrete walls on four sides, with everything missing. Commenters noted the land sale contract included structures, with some saying the former owner would likely be sued. The poster replied, 'It’s fine; even if I win a lawsuit, I wouldn’t know what to recover — consider it a loss.'
