Re: Property developer corruption in Hua Hin

Is 'chanote' here being used as a blanket term for title deed? The surprising majority of well-known foreign developments in Hua Hin are on Nor Sor Sam Kor title deed, not chanote. I can only think of 2 or 3 large foreign developments that are ongoing and have chanote title deed. Too bad the OP can'...

Re: What do do with Western Clothes

Could look up the Jungle Aid charity on Google or FB, I am sure they are willing to accept donations of any kind. If clothes of no use to the villages they support, they may know how to sell them or use them in other ways.

Re: Drug abuse in thailand (Arrests/News)

If any reminder is needed to avoid drugs and prison in Thailand, watch the recent movie A Prayer Before Dawn, true story of young British boxer behind bars for dealing in Thailand...brutal but compelling

Re: Unidentified man crushed by express train in Hua Hin

I was told that it is written in a local FB group that it was a well-mannered boy in his late teens who was beaten virtually to death by an individual or group who then dumped him on the tracks as a means of disposing of the body. It's people from the road by the train tracks connecting soi 102 and ...
