Re: Travel agents for flights

Western tours used to do that. Worth asking them.

They don't seem to charge any obvious commission and prices I have been quoted are the same or less than I see on airline websites. It is nice having a no of quotes without having to do to much legwork

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread

Hi, According to the immigration website, the count for 90 day reporting resets to 1 when you re-enter the country (so no need to do it until 89 days after you re-enter Thailand). However, I have also read that immigration in HH has a separate rule that 90 day reporting still needs to be done. My 90...

Re: Thai applying for IDP in Thailand

Unfortunately, since leaving the EU, a Brit hiring a car in a EU country now requires a IDP as well as the Thai license :-(. Another downside of Brexit :-(

If you have a UK photo id license, you don't need the IDP .

Re: Thai applying for IDP in Thailand

What does it mean by residence permit ? I do 90 day reporting. Is the piece of paper they put in the passport during 90 day reporting enough ?

Fluoride in drinking water

I was looking at the toothpastes that the women in the house use and, following what appears to be a social media trend, they are all using herb toothpastes with a low fluoride content. I can remember the drop in tooth decay (and visits to the dentist!) when fluoride was added to the tap water in th...

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

At Nits today for breakfast.

The sausage was excellent. Smaller length, but larger girth. Lots of flavour. :-)

Re: Buying a new smart TV

US. If not a smart TV you would need to connect via a USB port to your phone or HDMI to your laptop. If a smart TV then WiFi connection. BUT. The picture quality will be awful compared to either your laptop or phone. Virtually unreadable. I connected a 32 inch HD 1980/1280 TV via HDMI to my top end ...

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

For the same price and virtually the same size breakfast, the breakfast at cafe 99 includes a large cafetiere of decent coffee. IMHO not a big difference between Nits and cafe 99. Except at Nits I have the very large mug of tea and at cafe 99 i have the coffee. Oh, and cafe 99 opens at 7am and Nits ...

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

Close to MV, the best breakfast IMHO is at cafe 99 on the link road between soi 88 and 94. Coffee is in a cafetiere. 2 eggs, back bacon, sausage, onions, tomato, beans, toast. Good quantities. Good quality. 159 (0r 169 ?). Opens 7am so good for golfers :-) It's been in the same location HH for 15plu...

Re: Hua Hin Soul Country Club golf course

After it was Milford, it became Hua Hin Korea Golf club.

Didn't realise it had changed again. Are there new owners ? And was there still a Korea buffet ?

Re: Firework display on New Year's eve..?

Down at takiab beach there were home spun fireworks all night and at 12 o'clock 2 hotels did a fantastic display. As good as anything I have seen when sat outside the Hilton in previous years. Tide was very low so lots of beach. All the places were doing good value buffets. Beer not expensive. Quite...
