Hua Hin Forum

Any suggestions on a place that will be showing the men's final on Sunday?

I searched a couple of times and can't believe this link hasn't been posted yet. It's a very sophisticated interactive reference and guide to the Thai language—the best site overall I've found yet: http://www.thai-language.com Here's a much simpler site that also has an excellent interactive diction...

Thanks, but how far out of town is it? I may want to drive there by (my current) motorbike.

EDIT: Never mind: I understand that it's pretty far. I think I'll have to stick to shops closer to town.

Any recommendations on a place in or near Hua Hin that treats farangs well (doesn't jack up the prices, speaks some English)? I'm in the market for a new or almost new Honda Wave.

Thanks guys. I thought those barren wastelands would be a good flying spot. Maybe I'll take my motorbike there next Sunday and see if there's anything in the sky. Sorry about the near decapitation. This is why I like to stick to small light "nerf" style planes. But they get blown around to...

Hi, this isn't a complete answer and I've never been there, but you can check out this page: http://www.expathuahin.com/vehicles-huahin.php It says: "Go to the test centre in Pranburi (กรมการขนส่งทางบก) it is actually about 3km before Pranburi town on the right hand side (coming from Hua Hin).&...

Anyone else into the hobby of flying R/C planes? I'm looking for flying buddies.

I am into small foam electric models (6-12 oz.), not big heavy gas models. I am into aerobatics and "3D" flying. I'm also into slope soaring but haven't found a good hillside around Hua Hin yet.

Yesssss!!!!

I've been waiting for this ever since Google Earth came out. Finally Hua Hin is revealed!

A nice belated Christmas present.

How long do you have to live here in order to make buying, vs. renting, a motorbike worth your while? I am renting a Honda Wave 125cc, electric start, for 3000b/month, but I think I would do better to buy a gently used bike and re-sell it. I plan to stay about 3-9 months longer depending on how my j...

Okay thanks to both replies, I know where the Thai boxing arena is. I'm not going to get thrown in the ring am I?

Errrm, there's at least one (maybe 2) in the old Shopping Mall, 1 in the same road as Dick's Office - further down towards the railway line and 1 in Bon Kai near the market road that I know of. No idea whether they're any good or not, which is why I never recommend any of them. But they're there. T...

If they could actually get that, Bintabaht would be full of Thai schools instead of bars!

Just to set the record straight then... Besides one guy named "John" who claims to offer something or other in the way of Thai "classes" and/or private tutelage, there is no institute, school, or other organization offering Thai classes in Hua Hin? And only one or two private tea...

I'm interested in checking out this place, but need directions. When you say "Grand", do you mean that the gym is inside the Grand Hotel? Or is it one of the businesses in the plaza outside of the hotel? Or somewhere completely different?

Hi mods, I'd like to be let in please. Thanks!
