Re: BKP Soi 88 food market and Chang!

Do not like the Chang beer nowadays..Reminds me taste-wise of the cheap stubbies brought over the Channel from Calais in the 80's. If NOKYAI's cunning plan concerning buying Leo's at the 7/11 then drinking it there at BKP continues then yes, I may well continue to go. Tan-Diow (Big C Plaza) could do...

These flights were all thru the day. BUT..H.H. airp...

Re: Tom's travels - Hua Hin after dark

A Mamasan in a bar down the 'Back Soi' (The one behind/running parallel to Binta) would have a trick/scam to boost her takings every so often.. ...If, late in the evening, and things were quiet...If a tourist came in looking slightly the worse for wear the girls would try make him comfortable, then ...

Re: Where to buy best lawn turf in HH

The only place I know of..It's only a small place, but have been trading a long time. OK..Pala U Rd..Go up over the hill, and carry on till you see the 'Artist Village' on your right... ..The small open-fronted stall is somewhere opposite (on your side of the road as you leave town)...You should see...

Re: Tom's travels - Hua Hin after dark

Cheeky Dog Pizza at Ban Khun Por DOES have a sign (that Nok Yai reliably informs me) Saying 'We offer the thinnest pizzas'
Now I only ever eat thick pizzas, and to me Cheeky Dog's offerings are good value at 100b

They go all the way past Nong Plub on the Pala U Rd..They have a terminus about 5km further on, but from there you CAN get as far as Pala U village.

Belated Xmas greetings to you U.T. Most bars on 80 last night had parties going on, with the B/Gs having secret stashes of Sangsom+soda under the Xmas tress...I'm sure Santa would have approved..555 :cheers: :cheers:

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..!

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.
