Hua Hin Forum

When the airport runway was upgraded and lengthened some years ago they discovered a dump of drums of unused Agent Orange and other buried gear that was blamed on the Americans who used Hua Hin as a base for spraying runs over Vietnam during the war over there. Maybe this was the source of these exp...

Taf in Cha-am,
just in case you are passing thru Suvarnabhumi Airport next time Super Rich have a 24 hour kiosk way downstairs near the train stop.
They have the best rates I've come across that I've found so far.

Managed to visit that temple site after it was temporarily open some years ago. At the time it was under control of the Khmer Rouge who sat in dug outs with rocket launchers aimed across the border at the Thai side during the day, and apparently come night time the two opposing sides sat around toge...

Two kite surfers were washed up at the same spot when I was down there about a month ago.
Local police were contemplating calling in a chopper to haul them out but in the end I think they were going to be left there to sit it out overnight until the weather eased off a bit.

When dealing with termites as per your situation LolaBeltran you need to look at the bigger picture of what exactly you are trying to sort out here. So you have a specific physical outbreak situation, the little buggers have trashed your ceiling. Treating this area only is going to force the termite...

Ah ah , there must have been an escapee or two hanging around our area recently. I live just down the road from the wildlife centre and never before have I seen monkeys in the area. Was watching one trying to break into the neighbours upstairs window couple of weeks ago and have been finding unusual...

Wow, this topic is a bit coincidental for me Mr. Pete. It was only yesterday I was watching an old 1982 video cassette of a Keith Adam produced tv series featuring these hua tong boats And then this morning I've tracked down an old hard copy book of Adam's travel series in Thailand which I have orde...

Pete, thanks that article brought back some memories. Makes me think I should be digging out my box of old travel photos. The Russians were not so blatant as the Americans with their CIA office headquaters. Instead it was suggested by some that the old Aeroflot office on the corner of Suriwong and P...

Sadly many folks go about building a new house in a back to front manner. You really should start making observations of your land first and designing the house to suit, not trying to make the land suit the house. Try visiting your plot at different times of the day different days of the week and in...

I'm not yet living in Thailand. Can someone explain to me the whole water tank thing? The rental villas I've looked at have water tanks. What is their purpose? How are they filled? How are they drained? Is the water stored inside these tanks suitable for drinking (not that I would), showering and w...

Isn't making recycled plastic brooms just kicking the can down the road so to speak.
As they wear down they will be releasing just more micro plastic particles into the environment.

The clean up job is going to be a major nightmare considering the ferocity of the fire and the dispersion of all those exotic materials down the runway.
And hopefully the passengers all got away without inhaling any of it too.

Just another thing to watch out for is Q FEVER/Q VIRUS Mrs deepee recently had a blood test in which she showed up positive to it. These exotic bugs just keep on coming don't they.
