Re: 2017 F1 News and Prediction Tournament

Yes, rain over Japan, heavy, today. Just minutes ago, the satelite picture http://srbijadotokija.com/picshhad/2017rainformula1.jpg I was asked to assign my engineers to be on duty today when they (Renault) set up the gear for processing and displaying the results and times for Sunday. Young men, fou...

Re: Blue Lagoon Hua Hin

That is good to hear, thanks. Anything 26C and above is fine. The pool is well laid out, exposed to the sun, no high rises to obscure. But depending on the year, when fatalities happen in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai due to cold spell (+5C only) may reflect too. In BKK you could see office girls shiver...

Re: Hua Hin Area Photo Thread

Albeit, a very bad day, but it was covered elsewhere :D http://www.huahinforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27129&p=347322&hilit=viewpoint#p347322 That post is from June 2 2014. Since someone put me on the spot for replying to 2 months old Marriott tread, I am just ignoring anything more tha...

Re: Blue Lagoon Hua Hin

That is what I did. Nobody asked me anything (there was nobody anyway). You would not need to use it - the lagoon at the Sheraton is the same. When you are floating in circles through tropical vegetation, it does not make any difference whether the circle is 600m or 1,200m long (Blue Lagoon physical...

Re: Hua Hin. Daily Photo

That is cool.
Then, you, residents, do not have to wait on tourists like me to prompt you for more daily pictures, in one place.

Re: Farang Contempt for Thais?

A long write-up, I read it with interest. That could be summed up in short: Thai society, under the thin glaze of modernity, is still a backward, even a feudal place. With all the coups, they are still richer an happier than Burma or Cambodia. There, the foreigners are accepted but treated as insects.

Re: Hua Hin. Daily Photo

One Mod pointed me to one tread, I eagerly posted, firstly checking that no same content had been there.

Then, another Mod said it has already been covered.

Is there any coordination among the Board Mods and Admins?

You can delete my post then. What I saw in the link another Admin provided, nothing like that.

Re: What Nationality Are You

"While the terms country, state, and nation are often used interchangeably, there is a difference. Explore what defines a state, independent country and a nation. What has prompted you to ask this question? I did fill your poll. How about how Thais see us, regardless of our nationalities? Know...

Re: Hua Hin Area Photo Thread

I have seen the photos in the tread, some beautiful and inviting. None from the view point.

Re: Hua Hin. Daily Photo

I saw that but it was not very inviting as if was titled "Hua Hin, Photo of the day" or something like that.
Anyway, what you pointed at would serve the purpose, going there now.
Thank you.

Re: Blue Lagoon Hua Hin

That was what I was wondering. How could they survive with hardly anyone there. Now, you are telling us it is full during winter months, fair enough. I only come to Thai in July and August, winter months we ski in Japan. And yes, what is the water temperature in January? In August it was 31-32C. The...
