I am not sure what a fulfillment centre is, but it seems a strange word to use when it seems to be a basic service centre. Anyway my experience with Amazon, first ordering from USA they added some incredible amount for import duty ( when in my experience the value would have been handed over by Hua ...

Is the joining fee at HH GS still 10.000 baht? There is other very friendly societies in Hua Hin for 2000 baht joining fee and they have the same deals on greenfee as HH GS and plays 3 times every week. Anyone interested to join just pm me. I have heard good reports about Lake View Members Club, me...

It was banging it down at 5am!

I was up and about and ' dry as a bone ' - the only banging was coming from a nearby house!

Does Sarge's wife get a widows pension after all this, if not why bother with the pensions people?

I bought a Kindle Fire from Amazon whilst in the UK last month and I cannot switch on the wi-fi now as it seems stuck.

Anybody with an idea as I do not think there is an agent for Kindle in Hua Hin. There is in Bangkok but I seldom go there.

We had this problem recently and was told by an excellent engineer that it was the transformer ( we also thought the motor ) so had to change

Hi fellow golfers, how good are the courses in Hua Hin ( Black Mountain, Banyan, Imperial and Majestic ) during rain? Are they draining very well? Has anybody here experience playing these courses during the wet season? Cheers B-H I do not know about Majestic but all the other courses have very goo...

I then reported to HH Immigration Dept 2 weeks later. So I am not sure what can be done - HH Immigr...

Like many others I wish had had the money to afford it!

And it does not end there either!
