Re: Trestle table

That's great - thanks! Like others posting on this excellent forum, until I can move permanently to HH I only manage to get down there for a few days at a time so advice like yours is invaluable as it saves me using up those precious hours trundling around shops and suppliers looking for stuff - tim...

Trestle table

Hi, I'd like to buy a small, fold-up trestle table when I'm next back in HH soon. Has anyone seen them anywhere? Should appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

Re: Can I buy strong bread flour here?

Many thanks for the replies. Now looking forward to bringing my trusty Panasonic bread maker over on next trip. As an added bonus, the aroma of freshly baked bread of a morning beats the usual stale beer and fags room fragrance from the night before!

Can I buy strong bread flour here?

Hi people, and apologies if this subject has already been covered but I can't find a recent thread. Would just like to know if it's worth bringing over our bread-maker so I need to check if Tesco, Villa Market or Makro sell bread flour. Or maybe bakeries?
Should appreciate any info. Thanks!

Re: Skinny handyman (electrician?) needed

Big thanks, jimmy40! I'll definitely get in touch with Joe. And while I'm at it, I'd like to say a belated thanks to all the responders in the Hua Hin Online Community who have helped these past 18 months or so. The knowledge and experience you share (with humor as a bonus) make this site invaluable...

Skinny handyman (electrician?) needed

Hi, apologies if this has already been covered but I couldn't find any earlier threads. I need someone to pop up my hatch (that's not a euphemism!) and simply change the thermostat setting on my water heater, which is in the roof space and inaccessible for me as the loft hatch was not designed for a...

Re: My Banana plants - malevolent destroyers or benign herbs

Many thanks for the very helpful and welcome replies! Actually, It's only the neighbors who want the banana plants removed; our gardening service seems happy to go along with whatever we ask them to do, and I think I'll be asking them to manage the banana plants properly with some judicious trimming...

My Banana plants - malevolent destroyers or benign herbs?

Hello! I should be grateful for advice from gardeners and maybe builders... I have a small row of banana plants about six feet away from my house wall and right against the boundary wall with my two neighbors. Personally, I love the plants as they provide privacy, a bit of a jungly feel to the place...

Re: vitamins

Have taken daily milk thistle for years and years and so far so good. Hangivers not too severe. It's supposed to be even better if you get a high strength capsule combined with dandylion and the other 'de-tox' herbs. I do think it helps the old liver, though I suspect that I treat it as a licence to...

Urgently need a builder for doorway/patio/path

I need to find someone a.s.a.p. to construct a concrete doorway, a short sand wash path (5% gradient) and extend existing tiled patio. It's a straightforward job, but the thing is I'm really hoping against hope to get it done before Easter (!). I have no doubt this is impossibly short notice in term...

Re: Washing pole

Many thanks for the useful advice. I think a decent stainless pole on brackets sounds most straightforward to request and for a supplier to fit. Now my question is can anyone tell me a specific place that could supply and fit? Thing is I am only very occasionally in HH, always on limited time, and s...

Washing pole

Hi, could anyone tell me if there's a place (preferably not Home Pro) where I can buy a long metal pole and get them to fit it with brackets to a sunny wall so I can dry bulky washing like sheets and towels?
Thanks.

Re: Paul Ayling attacked in Hua Hin

Maybe I'm being over-sensitive, but considering what the Ayling family is going through I don't think that hijacking this thread to post about elephants/other endangered species/whatever is appropriate or relevant.

Re: Wot, no tonic?

I realise that right now HH denizens should be grateful for any tonic, but once normal supplies are available I know I for one would really appreciate being able to buy a diet version. I was a bit of a Schweppes snob, but after hassling Park'nShop here in Hong kong to stock their sugar-free version ...
