Where can non-members play golf?

1. Can someone please list for me the golf courses where a newcomer to Hua Hin, who has no club membership, can play golf?
2. What are the fees?
3. Can one walk with a pull-cart?

90-day reporting period for O-A's away for months

There must be many farang in Hua Hin who (a) have a Non-Immigrant O-A Long Stay Visa, and (b) leave Thailand for several months at a time.

I am a potential paying student of Thai language study who will be coming to Hua Hin in July and August of 2012. Possibly I can learn, by myself, the rules for Thai tones that are indicated in the Thai script. For the moment, however, I am trying to learn to recognize the five levels of tones just b...

Re: Environmental Groups in Hua Hin?

One thing that I would like to do during daylight when I retire is become involved on a part-time and volunteer basis in some environmental projects, for example, making cities safer for pedestrians and bicycles, or making national parks safer for endangered species and their habitats.
