Re: Very quiet in Hua Hin
Ever since I found Hua Hin (when there were just 40 bars), it has been rumoured that the intention has been to close Binthablock down as a girlie bar area. Soi 80 was the first area.

Re: Thais rank low again at English
European birthrate diminishing and Asian increasing, As usual, jamjar, you have got it wrong. The birthrate in Asia is diminishing not increasing.

Re: Thais rank low again at English
Everyone seems to be missing the point here. This is not about whether foreigners have taken the trouble to learn Thai but the importance of the language. I know enough Thai to get by but probably doesn't even warrant a grade. People learn Thai for the convenience of being able to communicate with ...

Re: Thais rank low again at English
The average Brit ranks low in Thai including me, not many of us english speaking brits are fluent in Thai and that's for sure, when we the English expats living here can write and speak fluent Thai,only then we can we judge others.. This topic is complete nonsense
