Few months ago, some neighborhood punk decided to start throwing rocks and bottles at me as I was walking home from my local 7-11 (hitting the cars behind me as I ducked and yelled "WTF?") Kid finally had to be restrained by his parents after he ran inside his house and came back out (with a knife? Couldn't see). Have no idea why he'd be mad - found out later his dad is a small-time mafia guy, so essentially, if it happens again, all I can do is run. Great line: "Thailand is great, as long as you don't have any problems." That sucks man, it really stings when you’re at a disadvantage and you can’t do a damn thing to change it.

Not cheap I have to say, but peace of mind is back. The system looks professional, the three guys installing it did a decent job. Can't see any wires in the house and the fence is clearly signaled with warning signs. Good luck! <a href="mailto:absolutelyBangkok@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">BangkokDan</a> @jayltp Contacted Mike Rust of Wasp Security, you’ll find the contact details above in a comment.

Whoever wants to enter our property has to overcome an electrified fence with an 8,000 volt electric shock of a high voltage pulse. Nah, not lethal and completely legal. Thanks again for the help and support. Maybe we were just naive all those years with open windows for fresh air and such ... Upon closer inspection basically all the houses around here have bar-secured windows. <a href="mailto:absolutelyBangkok@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">BangkokDan</a> Done, we’re electrified.
