Anyone keen for a round (July 9 to 18)?

Hi Fellow Golfers, I'll be getting into HH on 08 July as a single golfer and am keen on playing a few of the better local tracks. Rough plan is to blow out a few cobwebs on Weds 09 by availing myself of the cheap rate at Royal Hua Hin, and then rock into Bernie's to see if it's possible to join with...

Re: Is there a tourist slump in Hua Hin/Thailand?

Very good - looks like I'll be contributing to many different economies if/when paying out losing golf side bets! I'm a little surprised that there's not more Aussie tourists (FIFO workers I totally understand), as HH is being featured more regularly in the local golf scene as a standout destination...

Re: How safe is it to drink mixed cocktails with ICE

Tour Company or Taxi?

I'll be in HH for a couple of weeks in early July and didn't see any recent posts about tour companies. Would you recommend using a company like "Golf Holidays Hua Hin" to organise my rounds and transport, or doing it myself and catching taxis. I'm assuming the tour companies would also kn...

Re: Is there a tourist slump in Hua Hin/Thailand?

May I ask if there's a predominant nationality of the European tourists in Hua Hin (e.g. some areas of Thailand appear to be popular with Brits, others with Swedes, etc). Neither hear nor there really, just wondering who I might find out on the golf courses.

Re: Hua Hin motorbike and bicycle rentals

Thank you for the feedback and advice. Given that there's no safe paths to ride on out of town it might be safest to give it a miss. Cheers!

Re: Hua Hin motorbike and bicycle rentals

Any update on bicycle rentals?

Are there paths or tracks that are safe to ride upon (either in HH or nearby)?

Re: Soi 114 Thai Cuisine Recommendations

Thank you - we'll definitely have to explore Soi 112 and then take a taxi or tuk tuk further afield I expect.

Soi 114 Thai Cuisine Recommendations

Our family is coming to HH in a few weeks and I've found this forum to be a wonderfully rich source of advice.

In looking through all of the recommendations, I don't see to many restaurants around Soi 114. Does anyone have any recommendations for Thai cuisine in the area?
