Palm Hills Hua Hin residents now have a website

[November Rain]

If you're talking about who I think, no, not in Palm Hills.

Seems someone (farang) was murdered in HH (Khao Tao) this week, as well.


Edit - sorry, G2BH, just read Spin's post & seen it refers to all of HH, so, yes, you're correct.

didn't someone get shot recently

the man who was shot was an american , he is paralysed now , he was shot by a couple of thais after a long running dispute with a british developer over water bills and shoddy construction that could not be settled either by the courts or the earlier firebombing of his car.

the british developer ( ex night club bouncer from sheffield) is wanted by the british police in relation to jumping bail from a drug peddling case.

the bentley and lamborghini driving brit married a thai girl well connected to the local plod , she was arrested in relation to this case trying to cross over to cambodia. but i read that both darren oxley ( the brit) and the wife are now living in bangkok.

the man murdered in khao tow was a brit who was stabbed in the chest during a break in , although the police are saying in the thai press that he may have slipped onto the knife during a struggle with the intruder. what difference that makes only a thai policeman would know.

lots of stories about bad practice from some of the brit developers here in hua hin , some of their ghetto like housing developments starting to have the feel of the run down council estates that they crawled away from.

what is it about the brits that some of them ( both tourists and residents) have to bring their foul temperament , aggressive behaviour and stinking shit with them wherever they go.

but i digress.

palm hills is one of the nicer developments in this part of the world , as far removed from a falang moo baan ghetto as it is possible to be.

but if you live in a house anywhere , better have some good security , break ins are on the increase , even in quiet sleepy unexciting hua hin.

Really? I've only ever seen him in a Range Rover.

C'mon, tax, you're stretching the truth a bit in your entire post, aren't you? No need to sensationalise things that are already bad.

me ? truth stretching ? sensationalising ? surely not.

the reputation of brits abroad is at an all time low these days , down there with the albanians and the nigerians ..... and the tactics used by the property business to sucker in the naive and the dreamer are nothing to be proud off either.

who do you blame , the perpetrators or the patsys?

thailand is certainly not for the faint hearted.

I'll agree wholeheartedly with you on that.

Both, if I'm honest.

Yup, I'll agree with that one, too. I'd add that it's not for the faint-of-wits, also. And not for anyone that expects omsbudsmen (is that a word?), citizen's advice or justice like they would expect in the West.
