I'm not offended, what happened was that I was told I couldn't post a message so soon after the 1st one - the poll - so I waited a bit and sent it again and surprise, surprise, the 1st one was there after all! Oh well. Farang owes me a beer for when I'm next in HH!!! :cheers:

Could new users please put my mind at rest and let us know how you found this site ?
Was it via a web search looking for Thailand/HH info ?
Did you find our merry little crowd after seeing one of the posters around HH ?
The new version of this site is head and shoulders above the previous incarnation and should be getting more hits.
The posters are a great idea and should be attracting people to this site.
Both the above improvements were introduced at about the same time as the membership growth ...
LEV : Hope you don't mind me conducting this poll.
Just Curious.
I found this site searching the internet for info on Hua Hin. Will be moving there in September, so will be on the site quite a bit searching for lots of help on everything once I get hooked up.
I was doing some research for a new novel when I happened to see an article in a magazine that mentioned your website.
Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember the name of the magazine or who wrote it.
What I do remember was that the author made your website, and your community, sound fascinating. He was definitely on the right track there!
The article was about expats living in Asia. Specifically military retirees moving to Asia rather than remain in the US.
I'll see if I can find that magazine again somewhere.
I have lived in Cha am and Hua Hin for the last three years or so and not until a day or two ago did I find the site by accident while searching out info on Hua Hin. I don't do the bar scene, unless you count dancing til close at the Hilton on a regular basis, so I never saw a poster.
Excellent site for general information on the town. . .found out a lot more about that new shopping center! And it is great to hear other people's experiences living here. As well, have been looking at realty in the area and find your experiences helpful to read through.
OK. Is everybody here a Brit? This American feels a bit like I have logged into some corner of the Empire!! Not a complaint at all. . .terrific sense of humor you lads and posts are fun to read. . .though very occasionlly mystifying.
Thanks for the words of welcome! Must add that I am just as comfortable with British spelling as American, having taught for many, many years in the very remotest corner of the British Empire and prepared countless students for A and O levels! No proublem!!
