Re: Tummakam Pier at Chumphon

I've taken the trip several times, and the easiest way I have found is to go past the main gate of the Novotel, (heading south) and there is a right turn about 3-4 kms' on the right side which leads you up to the pier. The Notovel might also show up easier on your GPS Plan for 20-25 minutes from the...

Re: Video: Wreck diving in Chumphon

I dived this site about 3 weeks after the wreck was sunk, and of course not a lot of extras had taken residence yet.

Nice coral growth in the 2 years it's been at rest....

Did you use the GoPro for stills as well, as I'm really tempted to get one if it's okay?

Re: Photo Trip Report: Getting wrecked in Subic Bay

Great report & review.....I'll certainly be looking into that!

Are you using a Strobe on the camera or just the regular flash? I added a Red light filter to the housing lens on my gear some years ago & the images come our much cleaner

Keep the pictures coming!

Re: Crash involving two schoolgirls aged 16

In my opinion ( & experience), it is not always best just to accept your lot as the "Farang" & pay up. Of course it depends on the seriousness of the accident also, and how much cash is being requested. You made the right call to fork out the THB 4k & be done with it Some years...

Re: Scuba tank fills

Worth checking with the HH Fire Station, as they will most likely have a compressor to fill thier breathing apperatus tanks.

Otherwise, the nearsest place would be Bang Saphan or even Chumphon were teh diver operators are.

Re: Hotel Duty of care to guests and breach of trust

Generally speaking, as long as nothing "inappropriate" happened on the hotel premises, there is little or nothing an employer can do. If the personal meetings were outside of work hours & off site, the only gripe you can have is with your wife. Sure the hotel will listen compassionatly...

Re: Suit / Tailor In HH

Go to see Ashu @ Saga Tailor shop directly opposite the road from the Clocktower/Starbucks area. He can do it (well) in 1 week, but get there on day 1 & tell him your time restraint. He has done several pieces for me & the quallity is good. One of the original tailors in town Price fair also
