Re: Hua Hin Restaurant News

I've just been told that Mr Burger 3 has closed - can anybody confirm please. I was just about to post the same question. I arrived from Bnagkok and intended going there for lunch, as I usually do. There is a sign written in Thai, and on the same notice, in English: "closed, never to reopen. &...

Re: In-grown Toe Nail

^^^^^^ Yes, if you are in pain it is probably already infected. I had one removed at the Hua Hin Bangkok Hospital just after it opened. Although the Doctor did a good job, it cost some exorbitant amount, along with a bag full of anti-biotics, so I would not go there. Try Hua HIn Hospital, at least y...

Re: TOP GEAR

What I cannot understand is: the "fracas" reportedly occured "outside a Hotel". So a couple of *wats get half charged and it leads to a punch up. So, WTF has it got to do with the BBC? Surely it is a "civil" matter that the agrieved party can lodge a charge with the pol...

Re: Court voids 'secured' foreigner property leases

It's my understanding that the Condominium must maintain a minimum of 51% Thai ownership, I hope the residents or owners association never vote you out. Yes, it is 51% Thai ownership. But it is nowt to do with the residents, or any owners association. That law is administered by the Land Dept, and ...

Re: History Challenge

It actually seems to be a knife "steel" which is why it's smooth. It's run along the edge of the blade to restore minor deformations rather than a sharpener which abrades away metal. Sorry, that is not correct. If you have ever watched a butcher cut up a carcass the first thing that he wi...
