Hua Hin Forum

An interesting article, I think the reason that an old politician like this is being considered is summed up by this statement in the introduction: Samak is also one of the few politicians in the country with the stature to lock horns with Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda, whom certain PPP ...

BANGKOK (AFP) — Thailand's political parties Thursday took an oath at the country's most sacred Buddhist temple that next month's elections would be free of the rampant vote-buying which afflicted previous polls. Leaders and candidates from political parties took part in the ceremony at the Temple...

I’d flog the lot in the UK and buy an Ipod Randy. If the thing cost 7,000 quid, I imagine the quality would be too good for those Issan parties up in Surin where you’re heading.
And those old vinyl albums are no good for decorating Tuk-tuks; you need CD’s for that!

I have to drive from Hua Hin to Issan in December and I’m hoping that this will make the journey quite a bit easier.
Hopefully this new road will also make a direct bus link to the airport more feasible.

Motorists will be able to travel the complete loop of the outer ring road for the first time tomorrow. Construction of the last section of the loop, connecting Bang Phli and Suk Sawat, has finally been completed. The 22.5km section linking Phra Pradaeng district in Samut Prakan and Bang Phli distric...

Yes, I’ve always used Big C for that kind of thing, but I’ll have a look in Makro anyway as I’m often down that way.

Is it any good for domestic stuff? I’m back in a couple of weeks and we need another microwave.

Or couples riding up Bintabaht in a Samlor, looking very serious!

If I were you Dawn, I would release all those dogs where they can bark at all the people who endlessly complain about stray dogs without lifting a finger to help the situation. You succeeded in keeping HHDRC going far beyond what anyone else could have achieved, which is no failure in my eyes. Good ...

Is this what they are using?: Immigration Act, B.E. 2522 Section 37 : An alien having received a temporary entry permit into the Kingdom must comply with the following : 3. Shall notify the police official of the local police station where such alien resides, within twenty– four hours from the tim...

BANGKOK, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister in charge of national security affairs Sonthi Boonyaratkalin Friday declined to rule out a possible coup d'etat if the People Power Party (PPP) wins the December 23 election and forms a government, according to local newspaper Bangkok Post...

I recently bought a new Casio Exilim still camera and have been amazed at the quality of the video recording on it. As long as you have a large capacity SD card it is makes a surprisingly good movie. I think unless you intend doing anything sophisticated a dedicated video camera is not really requir...

Guess wrote: It seems to me that his is some archaic law that was imposed to counter Commie insurgency back in the fifties. It certainly sounds like something you would expect in a police state; I suppose that’s what comes of living under a junta in a non-democratic state. On the other hand it sou...

Yes, what matters to the airline is the country the ticket is issued in or delivered to. You can buy a ticket for a flight in a country other than the departure point, but for the list price in the country you buy it in, which could be substantially different. Of course you can buy a ticket at the d...

Randy, what type of modem are you using; can you use a normal wi-fi like you get built into a laptop, or do you have to buy something else?
