Hua Hin Forum

The only Problem about for example posting the questions here before is that this would contradict with our approach of using qualitative interviews for our research. Another approach could be, of course, just making a poll (or survey) online, but that wouldn't allow us to have the same possibilitie...

Hehe, thanks Siani! You are absolutely right about the scams going on.

We are actually two friends working together. In case of the forum it was most of the time me, Alex, writing. I'm from Germany, Thomas is from Austria, yet his english isn't much worse than mine.

Thanks for your feedback! Our idea about using this forum to find potential partners for interviews was, that we DIDN'T want to cold call someone or just knock on someones door. To be honest, we didn't know about Kates survey, so we aswell have no idea what it was about. What I can guarantee is, tha...

You will not be able to read PM's until you have made 10 posts so maybe you would want to list your email address but write it in full eg dot com as email addresses not allowed also I believe.
