Re: Khao Hin Lek Fai Mountain/Flintstone Hill for joggers?

It takes my son between 5 and 6 minutes to jog up the mountain (from the Soi 88 side). The jog to the base of the hill shouldn't take more than 20 minutes (probably less for a 2.5 hour marathon runner).

Re: bird watching sites around hua hin

While awaiting more specific replies, take a look at our "Birds of Thailand" thread. You may also want to contact Mermaid Cruises ( http://www.huahinmedia.com/huahin-cruises.php ) as I'm sure some of their river trips spot a good variety of birds. Pete :cheers: http://www.huahinforum.com/...

Re: Caption Competition

Bristolian has contacted me advising that he is away from his laptop this weekend, and he has no way of posting a photo. He has asked me to provide a photo on his behalf. Therefore this week's photo was provided by another member a few weeks ago.

Police Directions

I had the most hilarious thing happen to me this morning as I drove to Makro. I was stopped by a police officer as they let a procession out of the Palace gates - nothing unusual about this. When the road ahead was was clear, the police officer signaled all of the waiting traffic to move off. I stay...

Re: Don Muang hotel with car parking

Sorry, I do not understand this. You are still asking about a hotel that has parking, which the Asia Hotel does, (so where are you going to leave the car?). :? Very sorry Nereus, you originally said, "they probably have a secure parking area." I checked out their web site and it wasn't me...

Re: Don Muang hotel with car parking

OK, Plan A has failed - there doesn't seem to be such a beast in Thailand. Plan B is to stay at an airport hotel, and leave at about 4:15 in the morning. Can anybody recommend a well positioned (for Don Muang Airport) hotel with parking? It's only a short pit stop, so I'm not looking for anything fa...

I had to look it up, and the most likely to me is Girl Friend Experience. Mind you, the F could be substituted for one of the other interpretations.

Re: Hua Hin Fishing Lodge

I'm too much of a wimp to fish in the grown-ups pond :wink: . Actually, I really love catching Giant Siamese Carp, and while Terry has a few in the grown-ups pond, there is a much better chance of getting into one in the kiddies pond. Regarding the blue apparatus, that was the first time I've seen i...
