Looking at the damage that big trucks and SUVs do to the road surface, is this not a very efficient way to create a cocktail of micro particles?

There was a battery bank at Market Village. Maybe a regular can confirm it still exists and its exact location?

Re: Thailand plans to decriminalize cannabis

No idea what is going to happen to all the weed shops that have sprouted around Hua Hin, but the BIB are sure to be happy having another source of revenue ... Looks like the first have already started closing. Looking at the prices in some of the others, I cannot see them lasting much longer than t...

Re: Tips for recycling and reducing plastic use in Thailand

Nice Find!

This would be even better if it could recycle the PET into 3D printable filament. The raw material would be very cheap, dollars per kilo. Miniature collectors regularly pay dollars per gram, which is a pretty decent mark up.

In that case, I assume that your only purpose in replying is to see if you can piss me off even more.

Is this the shining example that you set in all online forums?

Being rude and disruptive?

Maybe not to you, but some of us enjoy a little polite discussion about local matters?

This was your reply regarding the number of retirees as well.

If none of these threads matter, then why do you insist on making such pointless posts.

Re: Hua Hin and surrounding area full time foreign population

Difficult to say. In between ghetto-isation and natural language boundaries, it is hard to say. If you go to Big C on a Saturday Morning it is ten to one, but that might not be representative of other locales. Also, it is not a very sturdy demographic, and so black swan events can have disproportion...

Re: Tips for recycling and reducing plastic use in Thailand

I was wondering which drinks containers are most sought after by recyclers? I am guessing that it might be the type used for orange betagen rather than pepsi max? Does it make a lot of difference?

Re: A trip to Yunnan, China.

I thought it was a bit cheeky complaining about the flagstones of the thousand year old tea horse trail, especially compared with what HH has to offer. 8) Thank you for taking the time to post. Sorry that it was a bit of a struggle at times, but I can recommend a few good guide books that make thing...

Which is the largest 7/11 in HH?

The store opposite Index on the PKSM road is pretty sizeable, but the store at Dinosaur has quite a large selection too. Most of the ones downtown are cramped and tiny in comparison.

Re: Thailand Vows Safety for Tourists After Mall Shooting Kills Two

Its seems strange that TAT is trying to reassure tourists of their safety, while the film industry is set on scaring the pants off them.

Based on previous performance, I know where I would put my money.
