Crime in Bangsaphan

Hi,
I looked to see if this had been covered but only saw a thread about a TOT accident.

I know crime is almost everywhere in Thailand....but is it abundant in Bangsaphan..?
Not only marauding gangs of youths beating seniors but break ins to beach bungalows and resort staff crime....?
Thanks.

Re: botox, and filler doctor in HH?

He was a teaching doctor with a good reputation, as well as the hospital itself.....so I doubt if the product was inferior..... I was in no position t...

Re: Could I Retire in Thailand with 45,000 baht/month?

I posed the question of living on 1000 bhat a month back in 2012 and received a plethora of both interesting and useful replies.... Granted, it is dated however perhaps it may be useful to the OP of this thread..... http://www.huahinforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19982&hilit=1000+bhat+a+day ...

Re: Being polite in Thailand? Pet peeve

I have a habit of nodding at least..... in Thailand most would reciprocate..... but now I live in Vietnam and seldom do expats or tourists even make eye contact.... a simple word would imply an ulterior motive.... sad really.....
