The cost and corruption involved in importing a used car stops most attempts before they begin.
I've been trying to bring my electric-converted Porsche 914 over, I can't afford it or take the risk. Unless I get special dispensation for being electric, it might never happen.

Re: Blaring speaker truck
There's a print shop just behind my condo that has produced a stack of those big vinyl candidate posters about 3' thick - our local guy standing next to the current PM. I wonder if that will be a help or hindrance to his campaign.

Re: Arduino
I see you have pointers to good sources of Arduino hardware. I usually stock up when I'm in Bangkok and I hit the Ban Mo electronics neighbourhood near the Royal Palace. When you decide you want to dip your toes into starting to work with the boards, let me know and we can get together and I can tea...

Re: Badminton
We have a fun group that plays at 9am at Palm Hills, and some in the same group play Wednesday at 6pm at the courts near the old Immigration office. I'll also send to your email account.

Re: Fan repair-shops in HH..??
My stand-up Hatari fan blew a resistor on the control board, so I went to the fan man listed above but he doesn't carry these boards. The Hatari web site has it for sale as a part but says it will take 5 days to arrive. On a whim, I stopped in at my favourite Lek Electronics next to All In Hua Hin ...

Re: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Movies at Hua Hin Cinema
I see Bohemian Rhapsody as a November 1 release in the Major Movie Plus app, but I can't find it in the schedule for either of the cinemas here in Hua Hin. Anybody know when it will be opening here? Thanks.

Re: The demise of Hua Hin's computer shops
They were still in Shopping mall last week. Thanks, they must be running both locations during a transition period because the Soi 68 shop told me they moved, not started another one up. But, maybe they changed their minds and decided to keep both open. The rent in Shopping Mall can't be very high.

Re: The demise of Hua Hin's computer shops
Advice Computer are a national chain and still have (I think!) a store in the old shopping mall. I'm not sure how much or what kind of stuff they have in stock though. Both Advice and JIB have online stores as well. Advice is an exceptional shop with great cheap service. Being a national chain they...

But could not provide a date when the transition will occur. Yay! I see the Union Pay announcement every time I use an ATM a...
