January 4, 201016 yr Pleasant memories - you made a lot of people happy - not many can truly say that - well done
January 4, 201016 yr RIP Martin you will be sadly missed, you made life in the jungle that little bit more bareable for a lot of us over the years...... A good friend lost, today, Surin loses some of it's appeal to me. John.....

January 4, 201016 yr Never got to meet you but, like many on this forum, knew of you. RIP. Thought's are with your family
January 4, 201016 yr Thanks for all the advice over the years Martin. You'll be missed. Surin just won't be the same place without you. R.I.P.
January 4, 201016 yr R.I.P Martin Thanks for the welcome and advice you gave us during our stays in Surin like you gave to thousands of others. You will be missed
January 4, 201016 yr On the ocassions I met Martin he was always good fun and full of useful information, a larger than life character ... Surin will be a poorer place without him ... R.I.P. TBWG
January 4, 201016 yr I thought I'd sign in especially for you mate, see ya for a farewell beer soon. Rest In Peace Martin Kurgen
January 4, 201016 yr Very sad news. RIP Martin. Thanks for your hospitality, help and advise the times I've stopped by the Farang Connection!
January 4, 201016 yr R.I.P. Martin - Surin will be a quieter place without you. Very sad news. Martin was an exemplary host, with a special brand of humour. I shall miss seeing his posts on this board. He fought gamely on to the end but I guess the cards were always stacked against him once his diagnosis was known. Gone but not forgotten.
January 4, 201016 yr Martin........ I pray for your peace and wish you happiness during your new journey. You will be and are missed on this world. Farewell, R.I.P.
January 4, 201016 yr If there were any reasons to visit Surin, Martin and his Farang Connection were top of the list. Will miss his outgoing personality, devotion to customer service and vast knowledge of the area. Those who come later will not know what they missed. Martin, may you get your reward.
January 4, 201016 yr Very sad news indeed. Martin was one of the characters that I enjoyed viewing on TV and I am sure he will be missed both on TV and in Surin. My condolences to his family and friends. Fair winds and a following sea Martin. RIP
January 5, 201016 yr Oh crap We will all miss you mate, you brought that special something into a lot of lives. Mine was certainly better for having known you.
January 5, 201016 yr RIP Martin. Nice to have had the opportunity to meet him on several occasions... always a pleasant and helpful guy. Condolences to Sunee, family and friends.

January 5, 201016 yr This makes me sad to hear. Martin will absolutely be missed. Can't think of how it will feel going to FC and not seeing him around. He was a very nice person always trying to make other people laugh and feel good. R.I.P Martin.
January 5, 201016 yr Martin was alway's helpfull to all the surin newby's, his RAF dry humour was great; unless you were on the wrong end of it!
January 5, 201016 yr I was married last March in Surin and specifically hunted out FC for some cold beers. There was about six of us outside FC and (as I now know) Martin made us very welcome. A good time was had. I'll pay my respects in April when I'm next in Surin. R.I.P.
