Re: 8 killed in SCB fire system fault

I'm trying to get my head round this one. There was no fire , so why were these dangerous chemicals released, and, surely, this type of fire prevention should have been timed to kick in when the building is unoccupied. I do hope that the families of those poor souls who died get some answers from s...

Noticed drivers blowing into the alcohol tester at Hua Hin station before setting off. That safety feature gets ruined though by certain drivers spending 20 mins or more on their mobile phones while driving. The thing is big so size may help in a minor accident. I personally haven't been involved in...

Didn't realise so many members here are employed by the HTSB, the Hua Hin Transportation Safety Board.

Once the Chinese discover Hua Hin it would be different. Be happy that they are not yet coming like they are in Pattaya, Chiang Mai etc. If they are earning extra from their tourist arrivals then it may be that money is coming through books by way of taxes from hotels, restaurants, water sports etc ...

It appears that everybody knows what goes on but woe betide anybody who tells the truth.

That's the real issue here.

Yes the replacement of alcohol didn't work for me either. We are talking about drugs here, period.

Left home today at 9.15am on way to Bangkok. Passed one of the statues around 9.40am heading towards Hua Hin.

Certainly was a wide load, my girlfriend was impressed I knew exactly what it was. Quite a convoy of police vehicles.

Re: British girl raped in Kanchanaburi

We all know the love of brits to be drunk. This girl wasn't alone. She was with a group and what about the responsability of those brits to leave her alone in such a pitiful state? Were you there, do you have inside knowledge or are you trying to lay the blame on the girl and her friends as a reaso...

Re: Alleged UK cigarette smuggler captured in Hua Hin

What about the illegal drug peddling ex-bouncers, murdering low-life scumbags that hide here with impunity? How many assumptions are you making here ? That nobody is looking for them ? That nobody wants to arrest them also ? I don't understand this comment. You believe the authorities know they are...

Re: 50 Ladyboys Detained in Pattaya

Didn't read the story but having lived there previously for 10 years and seeing these stories in the news nearly every month I would think it says that they have been fined and told not to solicit themselves in public again. The fine used to be a couple of 100 baht so they are not likely to be deter...

Re: Health insurance.

I am due to go under the knife for an operation on my back. I am in my mid-thirties and currently do not have insurance. Is is possible to take out some health insurance and then get the insurance company to foot the bill over here? It probably doesn't work that way but then again maybe it does, wo...

Re: Good Pharmacy that sells farang needs

Thanks for those who gave a more positive reply. I have located some capsules, I have advised my friend by Skype this morning and he appears happy that, should he need them, he will be assisted in that endeavor. Thanks GLC for your response, think now I won't need use of your kind offer, thanks.

He is in the US and prefers to obtain hormonal medication in Asia. Does he have othe insane ideas? He is actually in the Philippines and has bought Testogel in Pattaya before, he obviously swears by it or he wouldn't be asking me.
