    Not everybody can live like that and compensate the lack of social life by posting photos of their dinner or lawn on some obscure forum.

    It's the reality for ...some. Probably just danes
    You are Danish. Would you buy into this scheme? First question. Are you interested in being part of a Danish community in Thailand.
    Does this guy inspire you as honest, or are his motives profit driven?
    Is this niche environment being created by one persons altruism, or will it hurt naive investors.

    I humbly suggest that even without the involvement of a convicted fraudster, the project is too niche for anyone to waste money on.

    In reality, there are too many red flags already.
    Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.

    I wouldn't move there if he paid me.

    I'm not the right one to ask

    Done with Kenn's village ?
    Here comes Per's Saga:

    Per's Thai wife hired a hitman to kill him


    Together with her aunt, Per's wife tried to get him killed in Thailand to get his life insurance.



    OF
    Amanda Flyvbjerg

    Michael Plejdrup




    Pers thailandske kone hyrede en lejemorder til at sla ham ihjel | Indland | DR









    It is really lucky that they chose a small passenger car for that.

    PER, DANE IN THAILAND
    For 28 years, Per has been married to his Thai wife.

    Together, they have created a good life for themselves, partly in Denmark and in Thailand, where they have lived permanently in recent years with a house and dogs close to her family.

    - Our marriage has been normal. Yes, except for the unfortunate episode there. Otherwise, it has been fine, he says.

    "The unfortunate episode" is a car that drove directly into Per at 70-100 kilometers per hour when he was out on his usual bike ride in the morning in Thailand in April 2022.

    - A few centimetres more and I would have been dead, says Per.

    For 21 days, he lay in the intensive care unit with a broken joint in his spine and cracks in his cervical vertebrae. It was "enormously critical", as Per describes it. And slowly reality began to dawn on him.







    Per does not remember anything from the assassination attempt. (Photo: © Morten Stæhr)


    Would have been dead if it was a pickup truck


    It was his wife who, together with her aunt, had hired a hitman to kill him.

    - It's really lucky that they chose a small passenger car for it. If they had chosen a pickup truck, I would have died," he says.

    Per had been warned that his wife might do something. But he didn't believe it.

    Until he was hit by the hitman's car.

    -Money. That's why I had to be killed, he says.

    His wife and her aunt were of the opinion that he had a life insurance policy of ten million baht – which is the currency they use in Thailand. Depending on the exchange rate on the day, this corresponds to about two million kroner.







    The car that hit Per ended up in a field due to the violent collision. (Photo: © Morten Stæhr)

    Threats and violence for money


    Thailand is well-known territory for Per. He has been coming there since he was very young, has studied at university in Bangkok and worked as a civil engineer for large companies in both Thailand and Denmark.

    Now he is self-employed with a company where he sells and constructs large special machines for factories all over the world.

    The assassination attempt on Per



    • In court in Thailand, Per's wife and her aunt were sentenced to life imprisonment for ordering a murder for hire at Per's aunt's granddaughter's house.


    • Both appealed the verdict. It will probably come to court in the autumn.


    • Per's wife has not wanted to comment on the case.


    • Out of consideration for his Danish family, DR only uses Per's first name.



    And he is one of at least 10,000 Danes who, according to Christa Herum, pastor of the Danish Church of Bangkok, have pulled up the tent poles and moved to the far eastern sun.

    She has not met Per and does not personally know his story. But she finds that it happens that there are Thai women who want their Danish husbands to hurt.

    - There may be some strong personalities in the Thai families who push to get as much money as possible out of the poor man. And this is where both threats and violence can come into the picture. It's not unusual out here, she says.

    However, Per's case is quite unique. But despite the assassination attempt, he does not want his wife to spend a long time in prison.

    - It's not that I hold a grudge against her. I simply think that she must have a flaw in her head. It's unforgivable, isn't it?" he says.







    Per is featured in DR's documentary "Men's Paradise", where he tells more about the assassination his wife ordered to get rid of him. (Photo: © Morten Stæhr)


    Per still lives in the couple's shared house in Thailand. And there he intends to stay. It is with his father-in-law as his nearest neighbor. But he also still has a good relationship with him, according to Per himself.

    When the appeal case is over, a divorce case awaits.

    Dannebrog white cross Dane's delight, smeared with Lurpark last Tango warning.

    The name of the Danish flag is Dannebrog. This probably means “the cloth of the Danes”. The Danish flag was not always Danish. During the European crusades from the 11th to 13th centuries, a red flag with a white cross was used frequently, without connection to Denmark.
