My wife has said nothing about this. Over the years there have been the odd, unsubstantiated story but nothing that I have seen reported in the media. With two young daughters attending two schools in town we are always on our guard for their continued safety. We deliver them to the school gates in the morning and pick them up again when they finish late afternoon. Teachers are on gate duty morning and afternoon to keep an eye on orderly proceedings. The 5 major schools in town, all clustered together within a 1 square kilometer block, are home to approximately 20,000 children with ages ranging from 4 to 19 years old. My eldest daughter's school has some 3,000 girls between the age of 13 and 19 years old. If attempted kidnappings were taking place then surely these schools would be prime targets. To the best of my knowledge, there have been no reported kidnappings in Surin during the past couple of years at least.Pat was telling me that she heard there has been a resurgence in attempted kidnappings around Surin.
Any truth in this ?.

Yea well, Mai Pen Rai.My wife told me about 3 weeks ago that the suspicious van was seen lurking near a school, she said it was the kid snatchers at it. I asked why people don't just grab them or the police can't catch them and she told me to stop being stupid. She has been telling me this kidnap story for years now but not an ounce of proof. Mobile phone pics of the car?
Pat was telling me that she heard there has been a resurgance in attemped kidnappings around Surin.

So Cafe, was that your bag of boiled sweets they found ?.For four years I've been delivering the children in my extended family to a creepy, forlorn, unkept, dark-all-times-of-the-day, unsupervised street corner near the schools.
I've instructed them that if they see a suspicious van to wave their hands and force the vehicle to pull over and stop...
then hop on board.
Every day for four years I've been so disappointed when I receive a text message to pick them up at 6 PM.
As well my darling refuses to wait the days on the corner with the kids too.
I'm not quite sure which bag of boiled sweets that you're referring to.
The chocolate-covered coconut paddies and Toblerone bars might well be mine.
