Authorities raid floating home belonging to couple who sought to be pioneers in 'seasteading' movement, which promotes living in international waters to be free of any nation's laws.
Thai authorities have raided a floating home in the Andaman Sea belonging to an American man and his Thai partner who sought to be pioneers in the "seasteading" movement, which promotes living in international waters to be free of any nation's laws. Thailand's navy said they endangered national sovereignty, an offense punishable by life imprisonment or death.Chad Elwartowski said in an email Thursday that he believes he and Supranee Thepdet did nothing wrong.
The couple, who have gone into hiding, had been living part-time on a small structure they said was anchored outside Thailand's territorial waters, just over 12 nautical miles from shore. Thai authorities say they have revoked Elwartowski's visa.
