Hua Hin Forum

I went to school and learned to count beyond 10 without taking off a sock. I also learned how to use a calendar with dates on it that could be counted. I guess I'm just meticulous. Later, when I became an adult, I learned to get a visa appropriate to the length of time I planned to visit Thailand. ...

The school around the centre of Hua Hin advertise on here: http://huahinmedia.com/huahintlc.php They have a good reputation from what I've heard, there's a poster on here called bapak who could no doubt give you more details. As long as you can obtain the visa then fulfill the required attendance h...

I have been thinking about getting an ED(education) visa from one of those Thai language schools that advertise on that other Thailand internet forum, but i have read that the Thai Immigration is cracking down on people that are enrolled at these Thai language schools because people are not attendin...

That's some great advice right there.

Part of the problem is the meticulous day counting that a person has to do to avoid overstaying, another part of the problem is having to rely upon back to back tourist visa's to stay here in Thailand in order to avoid having to leave the country every other week(14 days) by land or every month(30 ...

Before we all jump on the OP maybe we should give him a chance to explain why he has made the post. Maybe he has been jumping through those hoops for 20 years and now there are too many of them ... who knows!

The visa laws here in Thailand are insane and an absolute joke.
WTF Does Thailand think that westerners are? Automatons? Walking ATM machines?

3k a month is a real bargain.
I'm jealous. I wish i had the connections/contacts to get a condo for 3k a month.

I went to Pattaya recently and i looked at a few apartment complexes in the central Pattaya area and i have a couple of questions.
Are all of the apartments in Pattaya poorly maintained slums?
Where are the affordable, well maintained and nice apartments in Pattaya?

I(and my girlfriend) are currently 'in the process' of building a small house in a poor little village near nakhon nowhere and i have to say that building a house in Thailand has been a stressful and frustrating experience, but it's a lot cheaper to buy or build a house in Thailand than it is to buy...

When we purchased our House in Hua Hin a year and a half ago, the Land Office tried to charge us 28,000 thb for their fees when the actual charge was 8,000 thb. We just sold the same house and they said the taxes and fees were over 40,000 thb. When my wife questioned them they said we had owned the...

It is sad that foreigners living in Thailand are only allowed to spend money here and are legally not allowed to own much of anything. I feel like i am almost always having to protect myself from being scammed or ripped off here in Thailand, it's crazy. Thailand has got more fruits, nuts, liberals a...

Per above, I've never seen an fresh avocados anywhere, although I don't frequent Foodland or Villa often. Do they have them, or anyone seen any in the markets? I think the climate is wrong here to be able to grow them, except maybe in the north. Pete I have never seen avocados for sale here in Thai...

The only grocery stores that i know of that have mexican food(flour tortillas,avacados,salsa, etc.) available for sale in Thailand are Foodland and Villa. I really wish that Big C and Tesco Lotus would have mexican food available for sale in their stores but i have never seen any kind of mexican foo...
