Just a thought but as these Snatchers are being seen/witnessed - has anyone bothered to report them to the BIB? All bikes have registration numbers and if reported by a Thai there is a "sporting" chance that they will do something about it.

Yeh, you can do it to an old T-shirt, but when it comes to a living creature it's a different kettle of fish.

Re: Living in non Farang areas

Used to live in HH a couple of years ago - great place but there are only so many times a week you can play golf/cut the grass/eat out at lunch time. Might come back to see old friends at some point but afraid would not consider returning on a permanent basis. Did have a vacation in Phuket earlier t...

Re: What happened to my Internet Explorer?

Easiest way if you are using XP is: Control Panel/Start Menu/Advanced and select the browser of your choice - I E 7 should be an option,. Then when it appears on your start menu right click the Icon and select "Create Desktop Shortcut"

Good luck.

Yes, have heard too much of this happening. Suggestion: When ANYBODY comes to your house to do some work not only should you get a copy of their ID cards (and let's face it we do not all have photocopiers to hand so this is not practical) you should take their photo with your mobile phone - most mob...

Re: obsever

When I left HH I used to get the Observer on the web but even though that is essentially free have given up on it. The advertisers have their own sites in the main and the majority of articles do not even refer to Thailand let alone HH.

Re: Golf Clubs

You could do a lot worse than log on to bahtandsoldbut, again, be very wary of fakes. Could also try Hua Hin Golf Tours shop - limited choice but Mike is very helpful and will help you get clubs that suit your game/style.
