Re: Thailand to drive on right?

I heard that this was also the case in Ireland a few years ago.
The suggestion was that for a trial period that they would try it just with
the trucks. 5555

Re: fall protection

There is a small shop that sells safety helmets and fire protection equipment beside Hua Hin Bakery. The way I would describe to get there would be to go over the busy railway crossing on Chomsin Road and turn left immediately after the big supermarket about 100 metres after the railway. There is al...

Re: house tax back pay

We had to pay 4 years back Tessaban Tax 3 years ago plus a fine of 200baht for each year that was unpaid which was totally unexpected. Our house is under a company name and we understand that the price you pay is based on the rental value that they estimate and yes you do have to pay extra for a poo...

Re: Fishing Tackle Gear Where To Buy?

There are several places but the two that I have found the best are the one in Chomsin Road soi 55 which is going towards the sea from Petchesam Road on the right hand side just before the cross roads. They also sell food and other things but their range of fishing tackle is extensive. The other one...

Re: Trifle Spnges/Maderia Cake

If you do not have any luck with all of the other suggestions I would suggest that you speak to Barry at Miss Nongs Pies in Koa Takiab.They are not far past Cicada Market on the right heading in towards Koa Takiab. They will bake you any kind of cake that you need and you can tell them of any allerg...

Don't think any of them are too bad until they go into the spin cycle.

Re: Swinging Sporran

You could try the tailor called Alba Mode who is a few doors north of The Shopping Mall on Petchakesam Rd.
He is from Nepal and his family had something to do with the British Forces. You can only ask.

Re: 101 reasons to love living in Hua Hin

T.I.G.R I think you will find that it is your responsibility to ask the Tessaban what tax you are due to pay. The tessaban did a tour of our village and notified the residents that tax was due and that if taxes were left unpaid they would block the future sale of the premises through the Land Office...

Re: Have You Quit Smoking?

I did not have any real problem with side effects apart from the exotic and erotic dreams that they warn you about over the 5 weeks I was taking Champix. My brother did have further problems which caused his heart to race. I think it is available here under the American product name which is similar...

Re: Have You Quit Smoking?

Was smoking 60 per day up till twonand a half years ago. Stopped with the help of chemist in the UK and by using Champix. Was amazed how quickly my carbon levels in my lungs went down to almost zero and the cash in my pocket went up by over £4000.00 in the first year. I still enjoy a little passive ...

Re: Hua Hin King's Cup Elephant Polo 2012

When we went last year and the best bit for us was when the Elephants had their breakfast. It was served on two long tables laid out complete with white table cloths one each end of the arena. When the elephants were led in they all ate with perfect manners, much better than you see western children...

Re: A choice of netbook

Totally agree with Steve G. I have also had an Aspire 1 for over 3 years and use it over 3 hours every day without problems. I bought mine in the UK for just over £200.00 but they were selling the same model on top floor of the Shopping Mall for about the same price. I also bought an external DVD dr...
