I think there is a misunderstanding here. I did not sign any contract agreeing to anything.
However, before this issue grows out of control - I will want at least 10,000 baht returned to me (owner can keep 2,000 for their trouble).
But, I will NOT lose 12,000 baht. If I have to go to court and ask the judge: "where did I agree to lose 12,000 baht" - I will do this. Everyone is going to have to spend a lot more time and money if this is what owner wants to do.
I want my money back!
