Re: All about "Dentist in Hua Hin" Useful information.

Went to Dazzling Smile last week. 1,200 baht for checkup, scaling & polish. 200 baht was for the 45 second check up + 1,000 baht for the scaling & polish. The whole ordeal was 30 minutes and you do need an appointment. The posted rate for scaling & polish was a range of 1,000 - 1,500. I ...

Re: Best Hua Hin tailors?

Photobucket axed my previous picture of the shop mentioned on soi 80 and I never actually made it there.

Is this the one? Photo taken January, 2017. Looks like the name is Pornpen Tailor

Re: Sheraton Hua Hin - Holiday from Hell

Now you say Novotel locally is your favourite. I find it interesting that I have been tainted by some exceptionally bad experiences in the UK, and I've brought that bias to Thailand with me, even though the only similarity must be the brand name. I have no love for the Novotel brand. Well over 1,00...

Yaikka- If you're living there, you must know if there is a place within walking distance to rent a motorbike?

Re: Blue Lagoon Hua Hin

So can a guest staying at the Sheraton just walk over and use the pool at Blue Lagoon?

Re: Whale Shark off Bang Saphan

Went fishing yesterday here in Bang Saphan. Two of us got about 35 dorado. The whale shark hung out, back and forth, for a few hours. It would come by, circle the boat, and take off. Dorado? As in Mahi Mahi? Didn't know they existed down there. Are they common in those parts and only in the summer?...

Re: Cha-am Fishing Park

Thanks, Big Boy. I'm not familiar with the term "swim" in this context. What exactly is meant by "at each swim"? Is it like an assigned location that you must fish from? I've watched some fishing contests on UK TV where each fisherman is placed at a specific location around a pond.

Re: Cha-am Fishing Park

Looks like a blast. I might have to try it this year. Do they have a whole package for rent for some tourist like me? I'm a professional fisherman, but won't have any gear whatsoever. After rod rental do you need to buy all terminal tackle separately? I suppose it wouldn't take up too much space in ...
