I currently live and work in Songkhla but my latest teaching job assignment has no other foreigners. Sometimes I want to go into Hat Yai to check out movies or buy something, or visit a local historic site and I used to do everything by myself until I was mugged, in July. There are several foreign teachers in my apartment building but they work nights and weekends.

I used to be a fanatic bird photographer, always out in a swamp or up a remote mountain, but now I know that's not safe.

Better in a local forum for better response.

MOVED.

I real shame I have to go back to England for a year as we'd have been glad to host you up in Phatthalung for Thale Noi.

Good luck in your search for friends to help look after you.
