That's because they're not a retail shop. I order online, pay via ATM, then after I'm notified the order is ready, pick up at Soi 6 (because it's easier than having it shipped).

That was what I did, as well. I would submit any questions I had via e-mail and Thomas would always reply. So, even if they've moved, and even if Thomas won't be in the shop, I guess it doesn't change how I'd use InvadeIT.Homer wrote:That's because they're not a retail shop.

Where on Soi 6 are they? Close to Petchkasem Rd, I hope?
Just realized how close Makro is to Soi 6, so I can still combine those two on a single outing.

Ooops, did I not read that carefully enough?

The oranges ARE good though!
And while you can't buy oranges at invadeIT, you can probably buy Apples.
This is the way

Ahh an Apple joke. I knew somebody would byte
Re: Getting caught up, I've been gone a few years
While it's "open" (as in "not enclosed"), whether it could be considered open for business is marginal. I wandered in and it's considerably more of a ghost town than before, quite a feat in itself. Only a cluster of coffee shops and a drug store (and maybe a massage place ... was not open this afternoon, not sure if it's ever open?) to be found it the back corner. All the escalators to/from the 2nd floor are taped off.STEVE G wrote:That mall has to be one of the most disastrous bits of property developments in the area, Collonade was always deserted and now no one is interested in a Chinese market there either, it was more useful when it was a load of open air restaurants.Big Boy wrote: I obviously lied
Driving back from Makro just now. I stopped at the Tessebahn lights, right outside. There are 4 large signs outside saying, "Now Open."
The place was absolutely deserted (it's open fronted, so you can see most of it from the road), and I couldn't see a single retail outlet that had been taken up.
I had forgotten KFC used to be in Colonnade. Any idea where it might be now? Or, is there only the one in Market Village now?

Re: Getting caught up, I've been gone a few years
Yes, it is wide open. On Friday, I walked down the entrance ramp on Soi 76 and out the other side on Soi 74/2. No gates, ticket dispensers, toll booths, nothing. A small part of the garage is cordoned off for storing construction materials, but the rest seems to be open to any and all.Big Boy wrote:I've not tried it, but it looks open, and the charge seems to have been dropped for now.hhinner wrote:Is the underground car park open again, does anyone know?

HH is not yet become Pattyaised or Phuketised, but get here quickly while that is still true
Re: Getting caught up with Hua Hin, I've been gone a few years
Hi there,
Wonder if anybody can help me, moved to Hua Hin and want to buy a "teapot" any suggestions ?
Tried three places already but no go, probably not explaining myself very clearly but partner is Thai and she hasn't had any luck either
Thanks in advance.

Try to find a good picture, by Google for example, and show the picture with your phone in the store. After all, "A picture is worth a thousand words".
Re: Getting caught up with Hua Hin, I've been gone a few years
Many thanks for that, good idea.

Re: Getting caught up with Hua Hin, I've been gone a few years
I'm going back about 4 years but there used to be a stall outside Homepro on the 2nd floor at MV that sold a wide range of Whittard Teapots, not sure if it's still there but worth a look.
Re: Getting caught up with Hua Hin, I've been gone a few years
I bought one at Makro just before Christmas 2 sizes glass and stainless steel with integral strainer
Excellent purchase
