BITTER HOUSE BUYING EXPERIENCE
My name is Mark Stribley from the UK, and I wish to share a bitter experience from Hua Hin in Thailand. I first visited Hua Hin in Feb 2006 and fell in love with the place. In June 06 I decided that I would like to buy a property in the area and spoke to [ personal and company names edited ].

Mark, welcome to HHAD.
I have had to edit the personal and company names from your post as we would come under fire for allowing them to be published regardless of whether your claims were true or not.
May I suggest you invite concerned property buyers to PM or email you for specifics. Hope you understand our situation.

Mark,
I obviously echo what Lev says, but if you can tell your story without naming names it will still be useful for others to hear. I am sorry that something bad has happened to you but i hope it hasn't soured your view of Hua Hin itself, or Thailand. There are bad people in all countries of the world, and it's a terrible shame that you have apparently come into contact with one/some here.

Sorry about your experience and regret we can not read about what happened to you. The personal names and company name you wrote have been edited which might be understandable!stribley wrote:BITTER HOUSE BUYING EXPERIENCE

I regret however this forum to me is not what is supposed to be an open forum. It appears the moderator’s main interest is to protect the sponsors which I find very damaging as it does not protect the readers interest in an equal way. There is another Thai forum which covers Hua Hin as well without having the same censorship as HuaHinAfterDark. Regret I can not write the name of it as it will be edited immediately.

The names and companies that were edited were not sponsors and never have been so that blows your theory right out of the water.silverbird wrote: I regret however this forum to me is not what is supposed to be an open forum.

The reasons are simple, a person may have a problem and can shout about it, however if a site as big as this one publishes names and companies in a slanderous way there could be legal implications for us, it has happened before. We are merely protecting ourselves which unfortunately must come before readers interests as we would like to stay online.
The only other forum I'm aware of is a small section on a popular visa website and pretty much unrelated to this town and its happenings hence you can write what you like, good luck.

Silverbird,
The mods are not protecting their sponsors. They are protecting HHAD from legal problems that may arise from printing something that they cannot verify. As I'm sure you'll understand, most people on here are genuine, but some have an axe to grind and how can the mods tell who is who? That's why the terms and conditions are there for everyone.
Both Lev & Wanderlust have shown every sympathy for the original poster & recommended that interested parties pm him for his story. If you wish to know who he's talking about, I suggest you pm him.
