I know that the last few years have been difficult for you but truth will out and Eileen and I are very pleased for you. You have been brave and true to what is right and the eventual outcome shows how right you were.

Perhaps one day justice will arrive ? Maybe.

Anyway we are delighted for you – we appreciate all you have done. Get in touch with me if back in this area and please keep me updated !

Cheers
Graeme

Of course I might have to make an exception of a poster there calling him self ‘Bob’ who has copied a reply I made in this blog here and has come to the conclusion that I did not know exactly what went on in this case down in Pattaya.

Bob: “Quoting Andrew Drummond himself from his own blog: “I still have not heard the other side to this saga myself. Only denials no comments, or ‘ prove it!!’”

“I’m sure the people who write for the National Enquirer also call themselves “journalists.” The guy acknowledges he doesn’t know what happened but that doesn’t stop his printing “facts” in such a fashion so as to suggest there was arson, murder, planting of drugs, theft, etc.

Andrew Drummond: Well Bob. Thank you for your comments. The point being is that you should check the original article or judgment to see what I did or did not accuse these people of.

I would have liked to have accused them of murder. Other people have. But I knew the evidence of their ex-employees would never have stood up in a court of law and least of all in Pattaya.

But I know exactly what happened. But you know that don’t you ‘Bob’?

Anyway to most of the posters at sawatdee gay Thailand. Many thanks. Your comments are much appreciated.

Great to hear he had local insurance, that is not usual… most people here think that everything is sooooo cheap they don’t have to worry, and most are so disconnected from reality, that they simple think they are invincible and do not need health insurance.

I had a terrible motorbike accident without any insurance 5 years back, not even the bike I was riding had insurance I found out later. The hospital bill would have ruined me, if I didn’t have a saint of my own, who got me the best care I could get and paid the bills in full without asking me for payback. I was lucky… but now I got insurance, cause you never know when your luck runs out, right? What I want to say is, if you live in Thailand and do not have an insurance, you should get back to reality and get yourself one… they are cheap compared to the cost that may come.

No Balls then, what was the point in pretending to be a reporter, just selling advertising. Point is the local papers are a joke anyway.

Many foreigners selling drugs in Hua Hin, do something worthwhile and inform on them.

Andrew Drummond A now superfluous sentence has been removed as the person you refer to is no longer in the original post. Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning?

I personally knew Toby and used to hang out quite a bit with Donald, and I find it shocking that the people responsible for the death of Toby are walking the streets of Hua Hin, while it may not be surprising that at least one of the people involved in Toby’s killing was a police man. Donald is forced to hide now, so he wont get killed before the court case, while ***** drives around Hua Hin in his fancy sports car… thugs like him are just lucky they are the wolf in the sheep herd… where I come from he’d be long under the ground - street justice wise, scum like him should not be allowed to live HERE!

I like the idea of trying to get the Embassies to help us out, but honestly… we (people who live in Hua Hin) need to realize that we are on our own here. There is no help to be expected from ANYONE else but ourselves. If we don’t act and make people understand that they will not be allowed to come here and turn Hua Hin into a 2nd Pattaya.

Andrew Drummond: Jings Colin. Great to hear from you. The Harrow it is! But will have to wait till next time I’m back in the old Fleet Street. You’ll have to go to Waverley first and come back on the ’sleepa’ with a big tray of Scottish meat pies frae Linlithgow!
Don’t see many guys from the ‘Street of Shame’ here nowawadays. Just speak a lot on the phone, or when they are passing on the way to OZ. Budgets I suppose. Either that or the rest head straight for Patpong, Nana, or their retirement bungalows in Hua Hin!
