First AWOL Survey results summary
hua hin, thailand The First AWOL Survey was something of an experiment for us, but we have been gratified by the response and intrigued by the results. A big thank you to all who participated in the survey, and you may be glad to know that there are future surveys in the pipeline. This survey though has revealed some interesting facts, although the survey size may not be large enough to be able to definitively extrapolate conclusions about the Hua Hin area’s expat community. Firstly the demographics revealed by those taking the survey was heavily male dominated, with nearly 89% of respondents being male. Over 70% of respondents were in the 46 to 65 age group, and half of them originating in the UK; the next largest groups were USA (9%), Ireland (6%), Australia, Finland, Netherlands and Switzerland (4%). Nearly 65% of respondents live
A pie chart permanently in Thailand, while of those who don’t nearly 44% spend between 6 and 12 weeks here. Over 57% of all respondents have their own house, villa or condo while about 22% rent a property. The most popular areas to live are South Hua Hin (30%), Central Hua Hin ( 20%)and West Hua Hin (16%), accounting for 66% of the total. More than 60% gave AWOL the thumbs up, but 32% felt we could do better, so we are working on it! The most liked section of the paper is the front page story, followed by Area 555, Weather/Currencies/
Information, Hua Hin Live and Page 3. A heart warming 95% rated the AWOL website as average or better, with over 50% saying it was good or excellent. However over a third of the responders have had problems getting hold of the printed AWOL, and we are looking into ways to deal with this, but please contact us directly to info@awolonline.net if you are having problems or have any distribution suggestions.
