Re: Flights to/from Hua Hin Airport

I don’t know what planes they use these days but my trips from BKK to Kho Samui in the late 90’s - early 00’s on Bangkok Airways were on turboprops and never had a problem in probably 8-10 flights. My only bad experience on a jet plane was flying from Karachi to Kuwait on a Pakistan International Ai...

Re: Flights to/from Hua Hin Airport

Not sure what’s wrong with propeller planes other than they tend to be slower and smaller than jet engined planes- Google… Propeller planes are generally considered as safe as jet planes when operated under normal conditions and by trained professionals. While there are some differences in how they ...

Re: Flights to/from Hua Hin Airport

Whilst I’m sure that most people would love to see the return of the HH to KL international flights, a few domestic flights to a number of southern areas like Phuket, Koh Samui (not mentioned) would be better than nothing. A few years ago one of my sons and his partner stayed with us for a week and ...

Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

To me it didn’t sound like utter BS - the two key issues seem to be that the monthly income route is going to mean a visit to the tax office whereas the 400/800k in the bank route doesn’t. There’s obviously more to it than that but they were the two key issues that I picked up. Sent from my iPhone u...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

No the apps always indicate rain and then it hardly ever falls or not for any prolonged time.

Re: Football (not Premier League)

His expertise was at putting the ball in the back of the net - he’s proved to be lacking when it comes to being a football manager and from what I’ve seen, his punditry prowess is not much different!!

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin

Maybe I’m the odd one out, but even in the days when I frequented bars, I never made a habit of talking to strangers, I either went with someone or arranged to meet up with friends.

Re: Engineering and Technology Thread

Even with the introduction of the dual track lines, the trains running between HH and Bangkok remain the same slow rolling stock from yesteryear - even something nudging 120 kph would be a big improvement on what we currently have - this levitating train would be for a “next life” as far as Thailand...

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin

I guess for some people, they can only enjoy socialising with a beer/wine etc in their hand - I’m not one of them!!

Re: Engineering and Technology Thread

This would be no different than any other train in as much it could only go where the tracks are - the reference to planes was I’m sure only in relation to the speed equivalent - better have good brakes though!!

Re: Comic Video Clips

Not offended Pete, I do sometimes watch/listen to some of these guys but for me humour doesn’t necessarily have to be vulgar. I like Peter Kay although even he sometimes gets close to my threshold - the trouble is that these days effing and blinding is part of many people’s regular vocabulary, where...

Re: Comic Video Clips

I was thinking more of children who are free to access these pages although I’m sure many have seen/heard far worse. As for me, sad to admit that I’m not really into comedy these days, simply because some of the “comedians” try to scrape the vulgar barrel to try to get a laugh. Sent from my iPhone u...
