Re: McDonalds now in Market Village...

What I would love to see is a Sunrise Tacos restaurant. Man that stuff is GOOD!!! Fish Tacos, miss them so much!

Funny, just checked another post - I am not the first person wanting them to open a joint!

Re: Hua Hin Police Traffic Stops

Jumusman I think you need to stop making comparisons between east and west. Ha ha, good luck with that! If someone removed all the posts related to making comparisons between east and west then there would probably not be much of a forum left... :D I do understand the difference and can certainly c...

Re: Hua Hin Police Traffic Stops

I think its difficult to keep travelling down these back roads that people mention. Traffic stops are on either Petchkasem or the road by the train tracks, other than that I think I have to REALLY go out of my way to get around. Guess I will just have to accept that Hua Hin has way more traffic stop...

Re: Hua Hin Police Traffic Stops

[quote="MrPlum"]Sometimes the cry is that foreigners are being targeted. I don't see this, since Thais are also stopped. So what do you think the point is of doing it every day ? If they are pulling Thai's over for the so called "enforced" helmet law, it does not seem to be makin...

Re: Hua Hin Cinema

I agree about Looper. What a terrible movie. Still I was excited to see my first movie in Hua Hin!! Even if it did suck. I make a run to BKK now and again just to go to Siam Paragon to see a movie. Wish I did not have to do that.

Re: Hua Hin Police Traffic Stops

It's only bikes. Due to the size of a bike you can maximize your profits by pulling over maybe 4 of them into the same parking area as one car. Plus its easier on a bike to see if a falang is driving, they are certainly not going to pull over a Thai on a motorbike (who, for example might not be wear...

Hua Hin Police Traffic Stops

I have been here around 3 months now, moved from Pattaya where I lived for a year and a half. Love it here, would not even consider going back but I am a little confused about the situation with the police here. Are their salaries not the same as other parts of the country ? The reason I am asking i...

Re: McDonalds now in Market Village...

Yes I agree with the location comment. For sure it does not get any better than San Dao. I just have to weigh 2 things. Is driving 10 minutes worth an extra 60sq ft of room.. it is quite a bit larger.

Just wondering what specifically makes Sanpolen better than Sandao in your opinion ? I have been looking online and most of the higher end apartments in that area look a...
