I have heard sometihing but the other end of town from you. The cost of delivery has doubled or trebled in the last three years and the cost of the BKK Post has remained the same. No profit in it.

You should be able to get a local early starting M/C taxi who lives near to you to get ot for you for about 200 baht per week depending upon what time you want it.

Thanks for the advice but with her sweetpork, porkscratching and other businesses i dont hardly know what she looks like anymore.Anything else would start to eat into the time she has to spend cooking for me and to quote bugger that for a lark But ill keep it in mind if she starts slacking (Sorry dawn joke)

Apologies for my ignorance sargeant, but I'm intrigued. What does the statement mean please? It sounds quite painful.

Is there any similarity to a Welshman's wife giving birth to a lamb?

thanks for posts.
price rose from 20 to 25B say 6 months ago.
if the market was moderate,it should be a profitable business.
we will se what turns up!!
again thanks robbu

Hi big boy yep similar but he needs more money for said rug rat so had to find a new job

what is a bit odd is that someone delivers to the shop down the road apiece where we collect from now

no magic solution!
BUT, my laundry lady goes to the town market each day, and has agreed to get the paper for me .
struck it lucky

Just found the following service in the Observer's Classified Section. A company that says they can deliver BKK Post, Nation, Thai newspapers & "just about any other international newspaper you require within the Hua Hin area".

No prices, but the email address for enquiries is
