Re: Afternoon drinking spots

Yes crazy question! Beach cafe restaurant Soi 75/1 is nice to relax by the sea and watch beach strollers, tourists, kite surfers (in season), etc. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive. At Limelight Bar or El Murphy (look on Google Maps) you can sit and people watch at the crossroads. Head do...

Succession is compelling viewing. They're all so horrible! Yes, third series almost done now!

Re: MG garage in Hua Hin is too small - thinking of buying an MG?

I recently had my MG serviced at the HH dealership. When I arrived I pointed out some scratches on the bodywork which I wanted to repair and asked for a price. Later when I collected my car they informed me that they don't have a paint shop and I should go for repairs to the Nissan dealer! You woul...

Re: "Men's Sheds" for Hua Hin - a panacea for loneliness?

You yourself have just had enough stress with the loss of your wife to last the rest of your life. Find something else to do with your time. :cheers: Thanks for that kind thought. The legal aspect was the one I also thought could put the kibosh on it. And anyway the old fellas I know seem to use go...

"Men's Sheds" for Hua Hin - a panacea for loneliness?

Does anyone think this is a good idea for Hua Hin? I have no idea about the cost/legal requirement to set this up here, and I'd be daunted to take first chair on it myself, but there are stronger hearts than mine out there. https://menssheds.org.uk And a quote from today's The Times about the Austra...

Re: Internet dependency

Unfortunately many retail places now also expect you to have a connected phone, and fit that to happen you need an ISP. Even at the height of CoVid you were expected to have an app to do anything of go anywhere. The digital age is also the age where no permanence exists any more; I still have some ...

Re: MG garage in Hua Hin is too small - thinking of buying an MG?

I get my car serviced at the same place, but living just outside Cha Am (on the HH side), I’m contemplating switching to Petchaburi for servicing and any warranty issues. The facilities are much bigger although I don’t know whether that translates into better? I have been fortunate to have the HH l...

Re: MG garage in Hua Hin is too small - thinking of buying an MG?

It is not unusual to be stuffed around by local dealers. Their main function is to sell new cars, and carry out warranty repairs. The best option is to go direct to the importer with your complaints. I understand that may be difficult for you just now, but it will get results. Just keep on it until...

MG garage in Hua Hin is too small - thinking of buying an MG?

They seem permanently inundated with work in the garage/showroom on Petchkasem Road. When I bought my car 6 years ago there was no problem, but now every other car on the road is MG (exaggeration, OK). I used to use Tweesak Auto garage in Pala-U road but now they say the diagnostics are too difficul...

Re: Electronic cigarettes/vapes in Hua Hin and Thailand

The edicts coming from the government get more ridiculous as the days go by. You can smoke marijuana legally. If you're found in possession of a vape you risk a 30,000 baht fine and up to 10 years in jail! More recently baggage inspection for incoming travelers has been scrapped. TIT I just noticed...

Re: Electronic cigarettes/vapes in Hua Hin and Thailand

I see nobody wants to actually answer your question.... I hear that mid sized ones cost 250, 3 pct nicotine (maybe he'd Ask 300). thinner ones 200/250, and there are ones with disposable heads where you keep the body which holds the coil and replace flavoured heads cheaply. They cost more for first ...

Re: The computer said "No"

Bad luck BB. But I do understand that they couldn't make any transactions without it going through the computerised system, it would screw up the day's accounting and the boss would go spare. They're simply not trusted by the bosses, either for intelligence or darker reasons. I know bar/club owners ...

Re: In need of wheelchair accessible accommodation

Sorry to be late here, an additional thing to consider maybe. If you are on a yearly renewable visa (O or O/A), the immigration office at Hin Lek Fai is inaccessible to you when you need to renew as it's on a first floor with very steep and long ramps. I'm sure they must find a workaround, when nece...

Re: Help please, Indo Mee instant dry noodles

Both Big C and Tops supermarkets have online shopping and I see Indomie Mi Goreng in their listings. You could try them. Tops has an english menu option but is considered more upmarket than Big C and therefore will have prices that reflect that. Sorry I didn't thank you before. Unfortunately I lost...
