    QUOTE
    A crumbling 140-year-old Chinese mansion that has been abandoned for more than a century has been put up for auction.

    The Phraprasert Wanich House has become known as ‘Wang Bat’ after the fruit bats that nested in the long-abandoned structure next to the Chao Phraya River.

    To help maintain the property and raise funds for the community, officials from the Thai Treasury Department thought of auctioning off its lease term for 30 years to private investors who will renovate the historic building.

    The starting price? Only $290,000.
    UNQUOTE

    The location is quite good - right on the Chao Praya River, but what a nightmare to try and fix, not only from the fixing part, but dealing with the Thai government to do so.

      It would take ten times that to even get started.

        Tear it down and put up a Trump Tower.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
