Curious! BangkokBob.com
 
Good Morning!

BangkokBob.com was one of our favorite websites for lots of information about BKK. All of a sudden it has been removed from the Internet -- no explanation. Does anyone know what happened? I never read anything offensive -- did I just overlook it?

Just curious!

I also liked his website but have not tried it for over a year. Like you I cannot connect now. No idea why.

BangkokBob... that's what I call rhkkmk! Didn't know there was such a site.

Is the site being revamped or something? Maybe closed for "remodeling?"

I just read on a forum that he decided to close his site down! not sure why though.

Hi, Carol!

You really would have enjoyed bangkokbob.net (I said "com" above and that was wrong). His was a first-hand, updated report of everything one ever wanted to know about BKK. I think he was a UK farang -- ex-pat -- in Thailand, and his information was really interesting, as well as useful.

All the web says is "that it has been removed," so I don't know if it was voluntary or what.

I finalized all reservations for and in Thailand today, so I am
anxiously waiting for the end of September. The good news is that before I had booked our flight to Phuket on BKKAir, they lowered the price. It wasn't much $-wise, but enough that I will have a little extra spending $$.

Take care, everyone, and enjoy wherever you're going.

You might be able to find someone on http://www.thaivisa.com/ who may be closer to knowing if really interested.
