Live music in main bar in Hilton Hotel

If anyone is looking for a nice bar with good live music then try the bar in the Hilton Hotel. I don't mean the disco bar behind the boat restaurant but the bar inside the hotel (go into the main lobby and it's on the left-hand side). They usually have a girl singer singing western classics (from Na...

Re: How long needed to learn to speak basic Thai

Thanks for your comments. I have managed to get hold of a copy of "Thai for beginners" along with the accompanying CD's. I'll try to get through this in the coming weeks.

How long needed to learn to speak basic Thai

Can anyone give me an idea how long it will take to learn to speak basic Thai? I have been in Thailand many times and am aware that I can live there comfotably without learning to speak Thai. However I know that I will feel a lot more comfortable if I can understand what people around me are saying....

Night life in Khao Takiab

In the autumn I will be staying in Khao Takiab for a few months. Does anyone have advice about where I should or should not eat and drink in Khao Takiab and why?

Re: Quality of Milford and Tanarat Golf courses

I do have a spirit of adventure so I am willing to try anything and I will. Problem here is that I arrange the tee-off times for friends and would like to know what to expect from these courses so as not to make enemies. I will not be in Hua Hin until the end of October and have to arrange a golf i...

Quality of Milford and Tanarat Golf courses

I have played most of the courses round Hua Hin (Banyan, Black Mountain, Palm Hills, Imperial Lake View, Majestic Creek, Springfield & Royal Hua Hin). Of these only the first two can be called "top" courses. The condition of Royal Hua Hin can only be described as very poor. The rest of...
