Re: Seasonal Allergies

I had a never ending cold - sniffles, sneezes, feeling hot and cold. Misdiagnosed as a mild flu twice. On the third doctor's visit it turned out, correctly, to be dengue fever.

Re: Hotels near the Rajamangala stadium in Bangkok

Kantary House at the top of Ramkhamhaeng soi 42. I lived there for a year and continue to stay there 6 or more times a year. THB1800 a night with breakfast. Excellent food. Free wifi in lounge. Easy to get to the stadium from both ends of the soi. http://www.kantarycollection.com/kantaryhouse-bangko...

But before there's an axe in sight, no ceremony to appease the spirits who reside in the tree?

Re: Cheese making

I visted a cheese outlet in Hua Hin a couple of years ago and assume that they make their cheese on their premises. They are Del Casaro, 30/10 Hua Hin Soi 10, Moo Ban Bo Fai, Tel: +66 32 522 749, or visit here: http://www.delcasaro.com.

Re: Mini-van speeds now..?

Is there an alternative, safer, slower, bus service which doesn't end up at the Southern Bus Terminal? If I recall correctly the Dusit Thani had a daily service between the Dusit Thani in Bangkok and Dusit Thani in Cha-am, for guests and the public, seats permitting.

Re: Tips to keep an inordinate amount of birds away from hou

I used decoys in Bangkok to stop pigeons partying on my terrace. Pigeons are frightened of owls so we bought a couple of plastic owls (in Canada but maybe found here too - Chatuchak?) and placed them where they would be visible from a distance. We also copied from the web and enlarged greatly, pix o...

Re: Pattaya beach could erode away within five years....

Yesterday the earth opened up and swallowed a large frangipani tree. Between it and the ocean is a high stone wall 20cm thick. It seems as if the fierce waves and the undertow were the cause. We also have a large hole in the ground further along the wall which until last week was part of our lawn. T...

Re: Wallpaper vs humidity

The wallpaper at my home in Hua Hin is 10 years old and still looks very good. The only damage is human - being careless with the backs of chairs.
