Re: Cost of living in Hua Hin
When i want a real steak i go to sizzler or to the villa market or to another good restaurant (not any in the bintabaht area). Go at 4 am at chatchai market, then stay there for 5-6 hours and you will never buy again any meat in this place. They hang the meat on the ground to move it when it's too b...

Re: Cost of living in Hua Hin
That's why 35 000 baht numbers are not realistic, a confortable life is spending money on luxuries. And the very real number is at least 100 000 baht per month and i would recommend 150 000 baht to be very confortable. Taking the car out is costing me 150 baht just to go to Hua Hin and come back. Th...

Re: Cost of living in Hua Hin
You should believe me, i don't have enough money to maintain a mia noy. In UK with a UK girl everything would be really cheaper unless you take a very stupid girl. All the french girls are working in France, when you take one she will pay everything she can with you. Two salaries is better than one....

Re: Petition: English language movies at Hua Hin cineplex
I prefer thai speaking and english subtitles or english speaking WITH english subtitles. I can't understand well enough when they speak english in movies. That's why i prefer to download.

Re: Sea Water Quality Hua Hin
I believe that too, and I would never set foot in the ocean near town. I don't remember the exact location, but somewhere near the north end of downtown (can be seen from the viewpoint or pier or one of the beach restaurants north of the Hilton) is a huge pipe (1 meter+ diameter) that dumps into th...

Re: Cost of living in Hua Hin
I don't use them but i know people who do, they are expensive. I do not party like that, it's not in my budget and even if i could do it a few times i prefer to use my money elsewhere. This was just here to tell that Hua Hin is cheaper than most of other parts of this world, then it depends on how y...

Re: Cost of living in Hua Hin
Party is going to a disco, take girls, buy expensive drinks for your friends, sleep at the hotel with your escort, eat at the restaurants, rent a yatch for the night. You can do this in Thailand even if you are not rich. Girls : 3 for 4500 baht for the night, more if you want premium escorts from ag...

Re: Cost of living in Hua Hin
It depends on your lifestyle. Thai couples can live on 20 000 baht a month without problems. Other thai couples live on 1 million baht at month. Most of the farang i know with 1 thai girl to take care of live on 100 000 baht. You will not have luxury at that price, just a confortable life. Also you ...

Re: Cost of living in Hua Hin
To inject a bit of reality into the topic, I maintain a large house we own in Issan, a rented two bedroom bungalow in Hua Hin, living costs for my partner and her mother and son, a Toyota Vigo and two Honda Waves for about 35,000 bt a month. That obviously is purely expenses and includes no enterta...

Re: How safe is your cash ( Safe deposit boxes )
I have a very big safe but no money inside. I bought it for my important papers. My money is in my bank where it belong. You want it, take my card and ask me the pin code with a gun or a very muscular guy, then you will hit the limit very fast. All of this for a few bahts... To be clear, never leave...
