About this audio guide
This guide to Baan Sukhawadee in Pattaya traces the story of Panya Chotitawan, the poultry tycoon behind Saha Farms, who answered Thailand's financial crash of 2000 by raising a pink-and-blue seaside fantasy palace on reclaimed shoreline land. You'll hear how part of that dream sat on ground pulled straight from the sea, and how the city and the tycoon spent years fighting it out in court. Look around at what still stands here as you listen for how that fight actually turned.
