Re: Team of Thai pickpockets hits Hua Hin

It would seem that Lost seems to be quite apt at taking the piss somewhat with his posting..FYI the guy that was attacked is STILL in hospital..!
And it was THAI MEN HANGING AROUND A THAI SOI that got the bar girls nervous.. JUST before the 'Songkran Attack'
kicked off..!

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

Was at the beach this week (near the ferry port) and the owner of one of the beach restaurants sat and talked to me..He said the tourist numbers there (for each of the restaurants..not just his) was down this year so far, and they had all seen numbers fall each year.."not good" He said.

Re: Hua Hin Bar Maps

Must be quite a task keeping up with the ever changing list of bar names..
Paradise Bar (next to Nice & Easy) on Binta (Soi Hoy) is now called Brick Bar, but may soon be changed to 'P' Bar.
Readers please excuse any bar listings on these maps that have indeed changed.

Shabby town of Hua Hin

So...My mother has just left after a 3 week stay..She summed up our 'Paradise City' as a 'Shabby mess'..! Well I for one agree with her.. Poolsuk Rd is a long patch of wasteland now, and Tourists HAVE to walk on the road because the bars/restaurants have taken over the pavement..OK if you're able to...

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

Here's my thoughts on some of the issues raised here... * If the Baht is so strong, and the Export & shipping companies have been concerned enough to complain about fall in trade...How about Thailand's rice exports?..Does the strong Baht mean countries are buying from other Asian nations..? (Has...

Re: looking for room for long term (for Thai lady)

Addera Residence...(out on the Pala U road, next to the driving school) has nice big rooms for 4500/month (plus electic & water). Many Thai ladies there, but you do need a motorcycle as it's out of town.
