BB...the property section is depressing because of the way prices here have ballooned over the last 4 years..... :cuss:

I also hate the computer image ads....look at the A****n ads....then look at the estate from the top of the hill....look a bit different to the artists impression eh?. Same same all over..... :cuss:

reading that would not be depressing for people who have property

those artist impression ads are ridiculous, but whats more ridiculous is people actually buy them

I've read that sorry excuse for a magazine for 8 years now, always hoping that it would - it hasn't.
It's gotten glossier, and swelled with real estate ads, and more, but usually non- HH related articles.
I used to scan the classified ads to see if there was anything that interested me.
To be asked to PAY for it is insulting.

If someone were to put together an informative, interesting monthly magazine with decent journalistic standards, I think we'd quickly see the end of The Observers.

I can dream on.

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.

They must have had a re-think, just been given a stock of copies to give away free again. :thumb:

Apart from the article by the MD about the 100 baht, has anyone heard from them of their policy on distribution?

Seems to be getting confusing. Are the free ones going to sponsors?
