Re: money transfers
No trouble using Lloyds online transfers there's a large drop down selection menu to state the reason for transfer however they do use a 4 digit security code that is automated by sending a sms to your registered phone that has to be typed in to the online form within a few mins. I presume you can m...

Re: Modern House Design
Nice concept but just not pracatable and after you have selected all the finishes to be moisture and mold resistant your AC will be battling the heated pool
It's a bit like some of the outside bathrooms I have seen sounds good at first till you start using them every day

Re: Moonsmile and Platoo restaurants
Moonsmile is a benchmark we judge others by in terms of quality and price, great place and will accomodate a bit of al a carte and swapping around of the menu

Re: Property in Hua Hin

He said but there is only two of them but I advised that shoud he wish to sell or circumstances change the ability to add a double parking, sala or room etc would give g...

Re: Property in Hua Hin
Not sure if this is the right thread, forum or board to discussing the pros of going so call “native” and certainly won’t get a sympathetic responsive if you have just slagged off 80% of the members. Like it or not but the make-up of HH is in part now dependant on farang tourists and expats who choo...

Re: Property in Hua Hin
Personally I find it a bit strange using the word investment when it comes to property in HH and many other popular expat locations worldwide. We all come here many different reasons but I think very few and far between are speculating on the housing/rental market as part of a managed portfolio, the...

Re: Ipad2 and e-mail connections
When I came over last year with my Ipad to purchase my property I found the Ipad was almost useless when doing research as so many local companies were using flash I had to revert to my laptop constantly. Sort of defeated the object, so I sold it and got the Galaxy Tab for the next trip as it was al...

Re: How does one research a builder/developer here
ALXDXB We have just moved in :) They are all fine developments. I guess the clincher was how the Mrs put it, she did not want a bungalow that looked like it had come from a new estate in Bournemouth :) Also the little things count like well water, twin tanks, road finish, site satillite/internet dis...

Re: What Mobile Phone.....
Hardly surprising considering they flog an inferior product for more money than superior products. iphone is shiny though and their add campaigns seem to work wonders.

Re: Is Hua Hin right for us?
ALXDXB I've just done 9 years in UAE and have bought in HH. I think given the choices around the world and things we are use to in UAE make HH a good choice for many reasons. I don't think you will have too much trouble budgeting after Dubai and we are more than experianced on the oddities of overse...

Re: Solar Water Heating
Whaler, typically most solar systems have a "closed loop"collector panel with the heated liquid(vegetable oil is commonly used) then being piped thru a coiled pipe inside a water supply tank. The absorbed heat is given off into that water . This water supply can be pressurized ie what eve...

Re: Solar Water Heating
We never had true solar heating in the Middle East. It was simple, the normal cold tank on the roof in the summer was very hot and the hot water tanks in each bathroom were switched off and became the cold as the AC kept them cool. It was just reversed in the so called winter. I guess likewise in HH...

Re: Possibility of selling property now
This is an anomaly imo and is happening because this particular builder offers some of the best quality seen around Hua Hin including furniture at a very reasonable price. The problem with selling a resale home is that if people (especially Thai partners) see that they can buy a similar new home fo...
