Re: Laptop problems, computer repair shop in Hua Hin?

Hi :thumb:

Thanks Pagey for your response. I went back the other day and managed to get him.

Picked up my repaired laptop yesterday ...... :D

He still uses telephone number 0871 609977 and there is a "doorbell" outside, kinda like a ship's bell.
