Re: Speed Cameras
Today I received a further four speeding tickets for the same section of Phetkasem Road where there is a recent 80 kph limit south of Hua Hin. If I was in the UK I probably would have lost my driving license by now - is there anything similar here in Thailand where they tot up the tickets? What is a...

Re: Speed Cameras
To be honest the camera could be either. I still haven't actually seen a camera despite driving through many times. Therefore the probability is a mobile device I guess ??

Re: Khao Tao Lake
It does seem to be common practice to use the small red bricks for bathrooms. When I asked a builder why he said because they had always done it this way !!??

Re: Speed Cameras
From the photos of my car it is not possible to tell the actual location of the cameras. They take a close up of the registration plate (front of car) and the other photo is of the traffic sign indicating the 80 limit. I go through this section several times a week and have yet to see a camera ?? St...

Speed Cameras
Just a word of warning to those driving south of Hua Hin. There is a fairly recent 80 kph zone on Phetkasem Road south of Rajabhakti Park near the army bases. It's only a 3/4 km stretch but as I have discovered the speed cameras are active. I have received two fine pictures of my car apparently trav...

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand
Maybe we don't live in Europe or buy food there but we do buy European foods here in Thailand. Look at the extent of Euro sourced foods in Villa Market for example. In the last 12 months all of these products have significantly increased in price.....

German Beer
I'm a particular fan of German beer especially out of Bavaria. My favourite is probably HB Original (Hof Brau) out of Munich which I enjoy at Juergen's Cafe and Khao Tao Beach Lodge. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy this wholesale in Hua Hin? TIA

Re: Replacement knee surgery
Thanks again for the responses! I have seen two orthopaedic doctors here in Hua Hin and had an X-ray. The original problem is damage to a much reduced meniscus in both knees though one much worse than the other. The last doctor thought that if the cortisone injection didn't help ( it didn't!) then h...

Re: Replacement knee surgery
Thanks again for the responses!
Big Boy thanks for sharing your son's experience. I was wondering how long is the stay in hospital? Are you able to walk (with crutches maybe) after the operation? and what is full recovery time expected to be?

Re: Replacement knee surgery
Thanks for sharing your experience 404....I was nervous about an operation....now I'm really scared ! I've heard good reports about Bumrungrad in Bangkok. Do you know whether this procedure is available in Hua Hin?

Replacement knee surgery
I've had problems with my knees for many years now. In recent years I've managed to balance activities / exercise with the need to rest and recuperate. This year, however, the painful knee has become much worse and all activity has ceased. Two cortisone injections so far this year has not improved t...

Re: Which Hua Hin Area Attraction Is Your Number 1
I had my Thai brother in law and wife from Bangkok as visitors last week. The highlight they told me was the kite surfing school at the Anchor Bar, Khao Tao Beach. Watching the surfers in the late afternoon sun was spectacular - it was very windy! I didn't have the sea food but was told it was fresh...
