Re: The Digital Surgery

A friend's system has completely crashed and the computer is asking for the original installation disc - something that was never provided as the computer came with everything pre-loaded. Neither did she create a "rescue disc", so she's in somewhat of a quandary. It's a HP desktop origina...

Re: Need some advice on moving to Hua Hin

Hua Hin is fine and may fit the bill but has some issues (traffic/road crossing and occasional overcrowding in the central area, BKK airports reached in ~2.5-5 hours time, so-so beaches, living costs/prices). Apart of HH North/Cha Am (mentioned above) Pranburi/Huay Yang beach (South of HH) has a San...

Re: Dealing with ants in the house

It's easy to deal with ants but termites need pro control and even then the results may be disappointing. Try to cut their food supply (keep sugar and sweet stuff in airtight jars, don't leave empty beer glasses and chip crumbs around) and feed them with deadly food periodically. Some species may re...

Re: New Member Planning to Visit Hua Hin

Hi, We hired a car with driver in early December. From memory, we paid around 1400 baht for a day, and the second time 400 baht for 4 hours. The company is located at the start of Poon Suk Road as shown in on the picture (perhaps right after the Italian restaurant). The driver was nice and really he...

Re: Webster University a "diploma mill"?

I've followed the included links and it was an interesting, revealing reading... what a disgrace. However, unlike this Webster franchise, many of the 'real' (typically older, well-established and mostly public) Thai Unis are reputable and do meet international/developed standards.

Re: Court voids 'secured' foreigner property leases

I've seen mention in this thread that foreigners cannot own apartments????? I though Farang could legally own apartment? I also spotted that that vague and inaccurate statement.

I appreciate that this forum provides a lot of info about HH and nearby areas, which helped us to make a preliminary assessment. So far HH is on the top of our list, and ...
