I like these bits:
Andrew Street, the British developer behind Napawan Asia, admits the company was "over-extended commercially at the commencement of the global financial crisis",
Mr Street, who has returned to live in Britain, told Fairfax Media "I have remained and still intend to deliver all that the buyers require".
Yeah, the check is in the mail!
Mr Street, who bought a $1 million house in the English Midlands in August 2013 after leaving Phuket, said "certain people" have tried to personalise the issue and derail any settlement amid a myriad of legal claims and counter-claims.
"It is not in the interest of all parties concerned for me to return to Thailand whilst in the final steps of the debt workout," he said.
Or in the interests of keeping his hide in one piece!
