Re: Does anyone know this dipstick (cheapskate)?
Maybe he was waiting for somebody? No he's done it several times I've been there recently and he just wanders off in the end. If it was my place I'd put a "comfy seats, minimum spend THB xxx" sign, or a velvet rope across (if English isn't your first language - That was a (very tiny) joke...

Re: Indian restaurants in Hua Hin
Good food at Take 5 Kao Takiab Completely agree, it's opposite Amari Hotel, British Curry House style food, and live music usually after 9.00 pm I think. Prices v. good too. And they have some screens for live sports. They are doing a buffet now on Saturday evening but didn't try it yet. There's an...

Does anyone know this dipstick (cheapskate)?
Sits at one of the two 'comfortable' tables at Burgers & Beer, Market Village, for 1-2 hours, buying just one small bottle of water and staring at his phone. It enrages me, yes hello I'm Buster Bloodvessel. There are plenty of sit-up-and-beg tables, but only two comfy ones. I even said to him on...

Re: Bluport wine/beer bar - drinks + 10pct service + 7pct VAT on top.
On another thread I mentioned how I was ripped off at Peppina's, by being required to pay a service charge for a take-away pizza! I was told restaurants are meant to display this elsewhere, but aside from the take away pizza rip-off, many places sell meals exclusive of VAT and service charge. I don...

Re: Pool Tile Repair
They are lovely people for sure, and the company they left don't say anything bad about them either, which is a recommendation in itself!

Re: Bringing household goods into Thailand
If you are farang and come on retirement (non-immigrant O) visas you will pay tax on everything you import. And you are not allowed to import any car at all if you come on retirement visas (it's expensive to anyway, but I wanted to). We used a good international removal firm with their own offices i...

Re: The 5 most British dishes
London's pie & mash with liquor (basically parsley sauce) and lots of moody (chili) vinegar please. And I agree with above, Full English or a nice roast dinner over quinoa (I'm disgusted with that suggestion. Just because the chubby kn*bhead cooked it doesn't make it a British classic!

Re: BluePort best choice for Family Dinner?
I would definitely go to Andreas! Just walk out of Bluport and it's there on the right! Nice open air terrace on the upper floor too.

Bluport wine/beer bar - drinks + 10pct service + 7pct VAT on top.
Wife and I needed a rest waiting for the rest of our party to finish shopping, and so collapsed on seats at Peppina bar. Looks a rip off place I thought, but I need a beer. 130 chips for a Singa, and I knew it would be a small one too, but what the hell. Wife took a glass of Pinot Grigio at 340 Baht...

Re: Removing excess water from salt water pool
Thanks Bluesky. Yes the lack of knowledge about pool detailed chemistry here in the pool shops is worrying. I'll PM you, thanks.

Replanting a magnolia tree?
My builders uprooted a 3 metre tree and left it with only a 50 cm root ball. I understand magnolias are tricky to replant but it's a shame not to try. It still has green leaves at the tips of its branches, not sure if it's on the way out yet. I can't lift the darned thing, and also have no gardening...

Re: Removing excess water from salt water pool
Bluesky, I'm interested to know how you would determine a high salt level in the pool, short of buying expensive testing apparatus. My chlorinator warns about low salt, but doesn't give a readout of the ppm salt level. I want to run about 6000-7000 ppm but don't know a way to check it at reasonable...
