Hua Hin Forum

Hi guys, I haven't posted for a while because my life took an unexpected shitty turn! I was until about May of last year, married to a wonderful Thai lady and we lived, despite our problems, fairly happily in the UK but, now don't get me wrong, this ain't no 'bad Thai lady' story, our marriage didn'...

:D Hi everybody! I'm back again after a 2 month hiatus, having my computer fixed (...really must lay off that porn...) Might I recommend the brilliant Blind Faith's self titled 1969 release. If you like long drawn out jam sessions with solos aplenty but with great songs, its a real treat. Its funny,...

Thanks for your input Lomu. Yes, I had considered that I may possibly need a wp as a landlord. My condos are in a company name along with my English business partner who I trust 100% as we have been friends for 15+ years and are managed by a reputable European run company in Pattaya, so they take ca...

Good morning from the English riviera! I am hopefully coming to settle in HH early next year with my Thai wife. Now, my query is as follows. I always thought you could obtain a non O visa by showing bank statements with 40k income per month. However, it has now dawned on me that this is meant by ove...

Thanks for the helpful responses as always!

Myself and my Thai wife will be coming to Hua Hin at the end of the year and despite getting rid of nearly all of my material trappings(including my beloved guitars!...sob...) I still have literally three or four boxes of CD's, DVD's, books and odds and sods that I would dearly love to send over. Wh...

I know by the conversations I have with my friends that I am probably more sensitive to these problems than most due to being a landlord in a run down area where you would expect(and do!) have to deal with some truly awful people on a daily basis. My comments were triggered because I moved to the Co...

Just to let you lucky old' expats know, you've done the right thing in leaving dear old blighty. Its about time they put the poor old dog to sleep. The social decay is overwhelming and getting worse by the day, with young teenagers terrorizing street corners everywhere I turn and benefits scroungers...

Reports on the BBC this morning in UK said that the deposed Prime Minister encouraged foreign investment in Thailand but the King is not keen on this. If that is true, it may not bode well for foreigners there. Thats funny, because I was under the impression that exactly the opposite was the case! W...

Army to stay in power for two weeks before appointing a new prime minister, say Sky news. Appointed administration to retain power for no longer than one year, with general elections expected in Otober 2007. There are also reports that Thaksin has just arrived in London to be reunited with family me...

Thai military chiefs meet with the King to discuss interim government.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who is majorly concerned about the future of their property investments in LOS. I own two condos in Jomtien and although not naive enough to think I could be living off their combined maximum potential profit (phew!), I had kind of hoped to achieve at least half (a...

Yes please Shirley! I would be most grateful if you could PM me with the details.

Is it me or does Carlos Tevez bare an uncanny resemblance to early neanderthal man? maybe he was carved out of an ice coffin on the north pole by Alan Pardew?....still, I expect his mum loves 'im!
