Re: Soi 80 bar map

Yep, there are always exceptions.

And to be fair I was only talking about their faces. Often their figures are still lovely, in much better shape than farang women anyway.

That is very true. Thai ladies are very youthful looking well into their 30s.

Of course, after 45 their looks usually fall off a cliff. Age is very harsh on mature Thai ladies.

Re: The Thai People - What Qualities do you Admire?

No.3 Respect for Elders is my fav as well. I was blown away by how much parents and esp grandparents were respected and in some case revered in Thai families I've visited. What a contrast with the UK where we live in an increasingly ageist society, and that age where you're deemed too old is getting...

Re: Haggis in Hua Hin

Might try one when I'm there in a few weeks. They're quite spicy anyway, but I wonder if they'll be given a little extra Thai-flavoured boost.

Re: Correct pronounciation of Hua Hin

Seems like one of the easier Thai place names to pronounce.

Hooah Heen is what I hear (from Thais).

Re: Ben, visiting Hua Hin soon

Thanks for the welcome.

I've been to HH before but not for many years. Funny you mention rain, it was absolutely pissing it down on my first visit.
Hopefully I'll be lucky this time. I get enough fon tok at home :roll:

Re: Haggis

Did you try them? If so, were they any good ? I'm partial to a haggis but never saw it anywhere in Thailand before.

Re: When was your first visit to Hua Hin?

My first visit was in 2013. I remember it well because it was during Songkraan. Stayed for 3 or 4 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Have been back another 3 times since but not in the last 4 years. I'm going back again in a few weeks, looking forward to it.

Re: Monkeys in Hua Hin Neighborhoods?

I remember going to see the Kho Takiab temple on my first visit to Hua Hin. Before that day I always thought of monkeys as being cute. I soon changed my mind after walking the gauntlet down that path when it was feeding time. The old lady appears with her bucket and then all hell breaks loose. Don't...

Re: How did you find Hua Hin Forum?

Googled it.

Sometimes TripAdvisor just isn't enough. You need detailed local knowledge from people on the ground.
