Hua Hin Forum

OK. What follows is my understanding. Short story: If your name is in a yellow or blue tabien baan, and therefore you have a 13 digit Thai id number, you don't need this national health insurance for foreigners at Hua Hin Hospital. They give it to you free. Just go and register. Long story: I went ...

On 12 Nov 13 we were all given the news that forum member Sargeant had passed away. He thought he had prepared well for such an eventuality (he had, but there were many holes), but those who rallied around to help his young widow soon realised how little they knew e.g.: * How many death certificates...

Or send your good lady up there with the camera..?? :thumb: My good lady had more sense - she stayed in bed at the hotel :D Is the town name the same as the mountain (for map reference)? As Frank rightly says its in Prachuab. buksida provided some very nice...

Just 100Kms South of Hua Hin, Chong Krajok Mountain is a small mountain situated at the Northern end of the town. It is located in front of Wat Tharnmikaram 2.
