BANGKOK - The 6-metre wide floating cabin that was home to an American bitcoin trader and his Thai girlfriend was supposed to launch a village of buoy-based homes in international waters.
It’s a concept that has been around for more than a decade, but the couple were the first to actually live on one. Initial designs were for multi-floor cylinders “with the option for a ladder, spiral staircase or an elevator to go from floor to floor,” the website said. “Their goal was to get a floating community together of different people living in these new kinds of floating homes, maybe do some AirBNB style – SeaBNB – to bring in more tourists to see the natural beauty of Thailand,” he said.
“At the moment we have already gathered evidence and spoke to witnesses from those involved in the construction as well as others,” Phuket’s police chief, Major General Wisarn Phanmanee, told reporters last week.
