Re: Hua Hin Songthaew, Motorcycle taxi and Tuk Tuk Service

And in any case it's nonsense to suggest that because prices in the country you were born in are more expensive you can't be upset by rising prices where you live now. Some things in Hua Hin are a lot more expensive than ten years ago (food mostly), while some have stayed exactly the same (e.g. priv...

Re: The Rugby Thread

I couldn't watch the match, sadly.

From what I read today looks like Daly out and Farrell getting a phone call. Let's hope Itoje is made of iron, he always seems so. And the Kinghorn has landed!

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread

There's an HDTS of F1: The Movie on the Bay, if you're desperate to watch, low quality telesync, obvs. Heard it was a rubbish film?? Sent from my 2412DPC0AG using Tapatalk I fancy watching it. AI encapsulates the feedback thus: ""F1 The Movie" has received mixed reviews, with critics...

Re: Khao Takiab sunbeds

There's seating and beds all along the beach until just beyond the last soi. There are various restaurants as well. Don't know about call buttons. Sit anywhere and you'll be offered a menu. That's correct, of course. I just never get past the first restaurant as it's comfortable and right beside th...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

Yes I watched Bodies long ago, I enjoyed it. Season 3 of Squid Game is on my box ready for viewing; reviews are good, which is a relief. Season 14 of Not Going Out is Lee Mack was enjoyable, I still love a decent sitcom, and I think this is one. I don't have rainy season blues, I love it as much as ...

Re: Khao Takiab sunbeds

Do they also offer some food? But for the call-button thing I'd think he's talking about the restaurant at the pier end of the beach, with sunbeds and also table and chairs on the beach, as well as proper seating in the open-air restaurant itself. The Thai food is quite good, I've never tried anyth...

Re: The Rugby Thread

"Tour-ending" injury perhaps? Yes, would be a shame.

Otherwise a fair report, with result as expected and required!

Re: A Medical Emergency in Hua Hin

Correct regarding cost of room - I have corrected that element in the main body, thank you. No, the porters could have taken more care - definitely didn't seem to cater for trolley overhangs. That's interesting. Around three years ago I think I remember was quote 4000 Baht per night for a private r...

Interestingly (or not) a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit in a word or a language. Learn about free and bound morphemes, derivational and inflectional morphemes, allomorphs, zero-morphemes, and content and function morphemes (or don't).

Re: A Medical Emergency in Hua Hin

Bought this exact one in Fascino a couple of years ago, very cheap. foldable and height adjustable just the same, looks identical. HHH offered one on loan to my friend last week but not foldable and not height adjustable (as you mentioned before). I hope you can progress to crutches (and then maybe ...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading

I just finished Dept Q. and it's a 6 out of ten from me. It's been compared to Slow Horses but doesn't come near to living up to that either in style, premise, scripting or acting. It's also very gory in small doses. It's not actually awful per se, but I find the lead detective's relentless dry sarc...

Re: A Medical Emergency in Hua Hin

I had a catheter inserted whilst still in A&E, and it remained until 2 days before departure. I must say, I was in too much pain to take any pleasure out of the process, although it did release a huge amount of pee for me as well. LOL - it was most likely a relative 'holding your gentleman's sa...
