Hua Hin Forum

BB, happy to see you giving oversight to the 'new' iteration. What I'm worried about is the legacy content that has the potential to be lost. I had a hard time finding the pictures from the 2004 HHAD get together, finally found it on the way back machine, and not great quality either. Those were the...

As a minor participant, since I'm not actually in HH itself but an infrequent visitor from Bangkok, I'd be quite sad to see the forum go the way of the dodo. When I joined back in 2004, the crowd was quite different; I remember driving down from Bangkok for both the HHAD get togethers, at JWs bar wi...

I can't think of anything going down in price apart from fuel which has ups and downs, but basically stays the same. I am still paying the same for a litre of diesel as I was when my truck was new, 13 years ago. If you say it rent prices increasing, which is the usual tale, why aren't such increase...

The remotes can go bad; usually with intermittent operation and limited range, before finally giving up the ghost. If you go to a shop selling those remotes, they will need a working one to reprogram a new one. But some remotes they cannot do and you will have to go to the dealer. Which is the bette...

As part of your moving plan, I suggest language classes as the vast majority of the population do not speak English. Also, try authentic Thai food, it is quite different from the export version. Farang (foreigner) food, while available, does cost quite a bit more. When you do make it over, rent a pl...

Haha. BB, you should have seen the look on the (Thai) company driver's face when I brought him there the first time..

I think in Singapore we call that type of noodle Hong Kong style fried noodles, typically only available at Chinese restaurants or major hotels, usually as part of a ten course meal. First time I've heard of crispy frog porridge, though I've seen them include century egg as part of the package. Ther...

Yes, Indonesian food in the Netherlands is quite authentic. I used to go to a place in Tilburg every week for my fix over the six months I was working there. As far as Thailand goes with regard to Indonesian food, I haven't seen any, even in Bangkok. Even near the Indonesian embassy. So I suggest yo...

Okay. Thanks for that, Steve. I now have a better idea as to what the noodles are all about.

Ah. Wasn't trying to be facetious, but Singapore food does have a unique place and I suspect what you call mei fun is probably called hor fun in Singapore and raad na in Thailand. To label a particular dish as 'Singaporean' on an English version of Chinese food can be pushing the term fusion food of...

Thanks. Looks a good recommendation judging by the Chinese menu, To get good chop suey would be a delight ( spicy Singapore noodles even better, which I could get from the old place by the railway line). As a resident Singaporean, I am curious as to what this particular noodle dish looks like? Most...

I find that Google maps is good for locating obscure places. And traffic. Another useful feature is to be able to send your location data to someone else for them to find you. I believe some apps like LINE also use this feature as part of the chat. The only problem is that you need a stable internet...

Haven't been for years, but someone recently up in Bangkok says Platinum is where you want to shop around for local good quality wear. Can find retail, though Pratunam is more a wholesalers marketplace. You will have to contend with YouTube personal internet shoppers from Singapore, Indonesia and th...

Nothing wrong with a bit of 'mix and match' we used to have baked beans with Wall's sausages, or sometimes mixed with a can of Tom Piper's Irish Stew (could have been Libby's green peas, though. Memory is going South these days)

Actually Ayam brand is from Singapore, from a time when it was still Malaya (not Malaysia). It was developed for the British and was always a staple in our household.
