Hua Hin Forum

Aside from the highway to get there, yes, you need a car on Koh Samui. I used the Seatran Ferry that leaves from Donsak port south of Surat Thani. Look it up on Google, no booking required, and regular sailings all day.

Yes, I have been through it also, a couple of times in fact. All that I can add is that the leak is more likely to be where the underground pipe passes under a wall, usually an extenal wall, as that is where the most weight and settling takes place. A tell tale sign can be more peeling of the wall p...

What a great article. I hope all of you read that as it gives an insight to the Thai culture written by someone who also understands western culture. Thanks for the link, JD. Yes, it is a great article. However, although I agree with him that it is in-bred over centuries, it also displays what I se...

They have been banned in a couple of places because of a hazard to aircraft. Chiang Mai and Khon Khan have been quoted. Not sure that they are a problem in Hua Hin.

Makro was pretty much reserved for my infrequent visits to invadeIT which is right across the street.

They have moved to Soi 6. The last time that I went there they were just not interested in walk-in customers.
The owner works in Bangkok most of the week, and the rest of them do not have a clue!

For India check the Indian government web site for inoculation requirements, they have recently changed to include Yellow Fever and Polio, this applies to all nationalities According to WHO, it depends on where you are travelling from. I would be more concerned about Rabies! http://www.who.int/ith/...

When you've finished with the car park, there is a side entrance to the hotel to see the rest of the display. They run a courtesy golf cart shuttle from the car park to the hotel. If you ask at the hotel reception they should have a "program", which they will give you. Last year on Saturd...

Bumping this for anyone interested. I am not attending this year.

Hundreds of those big things were released by the "breeders" at the time. I am surprised that there is not a plague of them by now. I know a Farang that used to eat them where he lived in the central plains. But they were small rats that lived in the rice paddy. Cannot recall what he said ...

No, that's changed. When I registered a AIS SIM a few weeks ago, it only gave me 3 months validity. I guess that it all depends on just how long you have had the SIM. I have had the same one for around 10 years, and each tome that I top it up it reports valid for 1 year. The same when I registered ...

Sacrilege!

There is nowhere to fit a winch, or hang a highlift jack.

I suppose that the next thing will be that they are now made in China.

Nereus, no the links were two ads: one for some Thai charity (laudable, of course, but still not helpful!) & some biker ad Thanks for your two recommendations! In the meantime I have been given another site: https://www.primewire.ag/ Kind regards, MB aka 'Mike the Fritz' You still don`t get it,...
