Re: house prices

I could have picked up many other posters on this subject who are obviously completely uninformed but this one stuck out like a sore thumb. Trouble with a hua Hin forum is it gets too focussed on the immediate area. Do you expect a Hua Hin Forum to discuss house prices in Chang Mai or Saigon then? ...

house prices

Trouble with a hua Hin forum is it gets too focussed on the immediate area. Of course prices will continue to rise in Hua Hin. It remains the most desirable area in thailand for thais to have a second home. thailands economy is growing fast and that means more second homes. It remains too the prefer...

I thought the posts in this section were excellent and great analysis but it raises a simple question; what do Bush and Blair see so differently from the rest of the world and lots of people in their own countries. Is there a hidden agenda and if so what is it? I am genuinely baffled as to why the t...

When we have lost our Hua Hin and its just another pattaya all the people who tolerated the blow job bar should hang their heads in shame. Why on earth don't we value what we have got, a clean, family oriented peaceful resort. Last time I was in pattaya to see a family member a falang fell at my fee...
