For those of you who are in and around Bangkok, today saw the passing of one of the most pleasant expats in the city...

Hatch apparently succomed to a heart attack during the middle of the afternoon whilst making a cuppa for his mate who had just arrived from Oz.

He was always easy to see cause his long pony tail was his distinctive trade mark...

He was the active Bangkok partner in the car leasing business Q-cars...

younger than me...without any obvious medical problems...

quite a shock I can tell you...

RIP
