Hua Hin Forum

Don't know anything about International Schools, but are there a lot of expat families with young children living here? Also need to be on large salaries. I only really see retired guys who become fathers again in their old age.

Looks like rainy season is here bang on 1st September. Great fall of rain yesterday in Hua Hin.

Sunandfun - will be interesting to hear how they help you read greens. I can understand the science behind where you think you are aiming and where you are actually aiming. The better the player, the more break they allow on their putts. The worse the golfer, the less break they allow. Banyan are th...

I have also heard that golf courses can not use groundwater for irrigation. I am also sure that laws can be broken if you pay money to the right person. Golf courses around Hua Hin are doing ok for water despite the dry weather. There has been a lot more rain inland from Hua Hin, where most of the g...

I have never bought a condo but they are the safest. You can own them outright. There are plenty of condos available but I dont know which real estate agent is best. Just take a couple of days to drive around Hua Hin and visit a few agents.

Plenty of rain north and south of Hua Hin. At least we got a good soaking yesterday evening.

Lots of properties to choose from and a good place to live. Before you buy anything, get a lawyer to guide you through the process and to make sure that contracts and chanotes are ok. You never want to go to court here because you got no chance. Before you buy anything off any developer, do your hom...

Nothing here yet. Hasn't rained at my house for 6 days.

Just trying to save water Richard, what with this drought!

Having been here 20 years, August is not a rainy season month here. It is in Bangkok or further north. Lomu is spot on that October is historically the wettest month of the year followed by September. For a previous job I had to get the weather records for this area. This August has been drier in to...

The golf festival finishes at end of September. Prices often go back to the normal 2500 baht in October but there might be some special deals. Best to contact the courses direct. You can also ask about quality of rental clubs and price. Every course in Hua Hin allows walking. October is the wettest ...

You are spot on Spitfire. Very sad and shocking to kill someone over a minor argument but it does happen too often. Having lived here 20 years, the golden rule is not to get into arguments with the locals, especially the men. I have seen it so many times and I have always avoided confrontation here ...

Filling a lake that big does need a lot of water but none of you have mentioned evaporation. Large shallow lakes lose lots of water to evaporation! Not really sure how they could fill it and keep it filled. Hhfarang - you make a great case for not living here. I am one of the British infestation tha...

Black Mountain, Banyan and Springfield all have top quality rental sets. The other courses I dont know.

Friends in Bangkok tell me they are getting lots of rain. I did notice some big puddles in the centre of town but nothing out here on soi 6.
