Bluport/Intercontinental traffic lights!

I have just witnessed a very very near miss,whereby a young mother with a push chair,and daughter were nearly mowed down by a 4x4,red plate, which did not stop at the red light, after the traffic attendant waved them over.By pure luck,possibly Budha intervened,they survived thankfully. Two questions...

Re: Hua Hin Beach Polo 2017

Would it not be beneficial to both the Hua Hin Forum administration and Intercontinental to perhaps discuss the current uncertainties,and resolve any miss-understanding?

Re: Pay 1% more in VAT, PM asks Thais

A little off topic,but i honestly do not believe that the people who are making reservations in the Intercontinental or other supposed 5* hotels in Thailand are actually concerned about this.The majority of people who book, i assume are regular customers of the IHG and therefore are fully aware of t...

Re: Why do so many Thais look down on tourist / foreigners?

I believe it would also be very appropriate for the orginal poster to inform the forum as to how many occasions he has been in Thailand,and certainly in Hua Hin! He states, "cant believe its change that much"?? From when,give us all an insight.
