Hua Hin Forum

I beleive that there are no im. facilities at U-Tapao, it is usually only used by Bangkok Airways for flights from BKK, Phuket and Samui. The reports I read suggest that the 3 German airlines are considering using the airport. I guess that they might move tourists that have been staying in Pattaya o...

Posted this elsewhere but maybe it should be here instead! Not taking sides but thinking outside of the box. The army has historically been loyal to the monarchy. This government is historically loyal to Thaksin. The army has asked Somchai to dissolve government, his answer is to impose a state of e...

Not taking sides but thinking outside of the box. The army has historically been loyal to the monarchy. This government is historically loyal to Thaksin. The army has asked Somchai to dissolve government, his answer is to impose a state of emergency at Suvarnabuhmi and Don Muang and tell the army to...

The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) warns that Thailand’s export output has plunged 30 per cent and the slump could last until the start of 2009. Finally woken up then, the start of 2009? Maybe misjudged that by about 12 months! The industrial sector may, notice the use of the word MAY, cut 10 t...

Quote "Yongyuth Tiyapairat, a former deputy leader of the People Power party, has been ordered to Britain by new prime minister Somchai Wongsawat to update Mr Thaksin on the political situation and seek his advice on allotment of cabinet seats, a source in the PPP said. " Obviously never ...

Samak is a thug and a bully. He proved it again this afternoon in a cnn interview, getting angry with the reporter Dan Rivers. He colluded with Thaksin so him & his wife could escape the Thai justice system, anywhere else he would be considered an accessory. How can any reasonable country or mon...

Today will be interesting. One of the rules imposed under the state of emergency is no gatherings of more than 5 people! I wonder how they define "a gathering"

7.00am today a state of emergency was declared in Bangkok. The first time the new law has been used. The state of emergency is the responsibilty of the ISOC and guess who is the head of the ISOC? The one and only Mr. Samak. What a busy man, Prime minister, head of Defence and head of the ISOC, stran...

The beeb world service is showing pictures of the Thai riot police evicting the protestors from government house. So I guess that Sondhimedia united have still not won a match, sounds like they have picked up 85 yellow and red cards and that Samakshiniwatra united win again, this time shaken not sti...

So the PAD are not happy with Samak, but then not many people are. Are today’s actions likely to force the resignation of Samak or his party, I doubt it. Samak appears to have confirmed that he colluded with the Shinawatra family to assist them in evading the Thai Justice system. Quite why Thai peop...

Usually when the Thais tell a lie and you have the nerve to query it thier stock answer is " I only told you what you wanted to hear" this guy seems to only tell everyone what he wants to hear. You see you can fool some of the people some of the time but only Samak can fool himself all of ...

Kendo, I fail to see why my sentence about the Isaan people having a cow to fall back on was offensive, maybe you would like to explain why. As for Hua Hin being a fishing village ten years ago, were you here then? I was and I remember it well. In 1998 Thailand was in the grip of a major financial c...

Thailand has just completed some 18 months of military rule and the chances are that if the current government were brave enough to speak out then my guess is that this country is effectively financially broke, except of course for that 5% or so that own and control the country . It really makes no ...

TV news reports are saying that he has left Hong Kong today. So expect rampant inflation to cover the 30% corruption tax in BKK and ship loads of cows for Isaan.

Now I am dissapionted, when I saw the subject "Jabs For Thais" I thought it was something far more interesting but turns out to be only needles, ah well.
