All the houses on my estate had bars fitted when built. Ornamental. Black and gold. Actually look very nice and , more importantly, serve a purpose.

Caldera Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'd rather just write off the loss instead of calling the useless plod for their inane finger pointing exercise, trampling all over my property. The icing on the cake is that photos (or in this case, even a video!) of this kindergarten event then end up in the public domain. Seriously, who needs that?

Mukdahanman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The only bars I like are the ones I drink in, my house in Isaan has none. I weighed up the options between security and aesthetics and decided that I didn’t want to live in a house that looked like a prison - just my personal choice guys. If I get burgled then I’ll take the hit and probably curse myself, but to be honest I’ve got nothing in the house worth nicking ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have such an alarm with an infra red line beam transmitter receiver security outside all around the house but within the perimeter walls as a first line of defense. The windows and doors are also fitted with magnetic sensors. Other than an occasional false alarm due to lizards triggering the IRbeam, it works fine giving a great sense of security at night. Moreover, any lower floor doors or windows that are left unintentionally opened will reflect on the alarm pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugs11 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Most aluminium windows/doors bought from the multi/local DIY shops can be open within a very short time, with a crow bar or big screwdriver. It’s worth investing in quality PVC doors/windows with multiple locking points. Expensive compared to the local one’s, however give you peace of mind for security. Also it pays to have couple of big dogs, the Thais are scared of them ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
