I prefer the top of the hour news from Surf Radio Hua Hin because they transmit both sections of the BBC news.

Despite many pleas to Fabulous 103 (Tommy Dee's outfit)  they still insist on cutting it short sometimes even  before the first segment has finished Always !  So annoying.  If you feel the same drop a note to alwayspattaya.com

Ha ha ha, you're a funny guy.

 

TD doesn't care about what you want, he's only out to make money of his advertising.

 

I feel sorry for the people that advertise on his station.

Thursday afternoon we had a storm, it started to clear in the evening, 103 went off air Thursday night, came back around 9am.

On his local news broadcast Friday morning he blamed a lightning strike and PEA for high voltages etc.

It only has to look like a shower and his station goes down, I'd hate to live near his studio, it's always got power outages. Reminds me of soi Pothole, only has to look like rain and it gets flooded ????

 

He's always saying words incorrectly, mis pronouncing, he has a hearing problem or an antagonizer, doing it on purpose. It's quite rediculous actually, he's always complaining about the English woman that works with him, being nasty to her how she pronounces words
