Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Besides the monsoon building up, there's a cyclone building up not far off the coast of Burma heading NNE. I think that is contributing to some of the unstable weather Hua Hin and vicinity is getting.

Re: Football (not Premier League)

Oh my, oh my. They seem to be confirming his appointment, or at least in that direction. I guess if he loses the majority of the first 10, they can sack him without too much harm being done for the season.

Re: Buying online from Lazada

It's not just them. I get the same at times when US items coming via UPS, SF and DHL. It always says "Delivery Attempted" but in reality it's the driver or office saving themselves from HQ scrutiny. The item always shows up the next working day.

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

There are severe weather alerts published everywhere, for the entire Gulf and the Andaman side. To the extent to " Be prepared to move to safe ground and protect life and property"... Perhaps their boilerplate wording but I have never seen so many warnings covering such a large area. :shock:

Re: Thailand's coral at immediate risk from rising sea temperature, expert warns

I think once coral is bleached out by high water temperatures it can't recover, it's dead? New coral has to grow when conditions return to favourable, which takes years and years.

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic

But the big difference is that for Thais the hospital is free (30B) whereas the clinics will charge hundreds if not thousands, hence why the hospitals get bogged down with so many patients who could/should be treated elsewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's 30 Baht for the patient, but ho...

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic

.......Of course, it is a public hospital with massive turnover of patients, but at least any waiting is comfortable these days. Thailand doesn't have a printed "Yellow Pages" directory any longer as far as I know, but if they did the section for Medical GP's probably would only take up 1...
