shafter, I think some of the responses on here have been a little 'unfriendly' because the tone of your messages has been quite dismissive and critical of the town many of us call home - I also think this is probably because english is not your first language so you are unaware of how you are being perceived. Although he was a trifle blunt, buksida was right - the bar mentioned (Johnnie Walkers) is marked on this website's own map, which is only a couple of clicks away from this messageboard, so it wouldn't have been too hard to look at that before you came to HH. Also there are bars spread all over the town - sure, Soi Bintabaht is the main drag for many but a little wandering around and looking reveals many delights, and it just appears that you were lazy from your posts. I am sure if you had even asked another foriegner or two you would have come across someone who knew where JW is. For your future information (although I am pretty sure everything will have changed by the time you are 50) there are 4 other bars in the same (smallish) soi as JW, plus at least 6 others within a stone's throw including P & P and Coconuts which from the tone of your opening post would have been ideal for what you were after. It's a shame you missed out but a little effort is often rewarded handsomely. Better luck next time :mrgreen:

I have to agree with the lad a little bit here. I could only really find the Hitlon bar on the first night I was walking around, and that was pretty good, contrary tp many peoples comments on this site over the past weeks that Ive read. Maybe a little envy there ?

The other bars I found were more of the seedy soi type that are okay to it and have a beer at I guess. There is a very nice on near the temple with wood panels and solid wood seats. owned by a danish guy I thinkn ?

Other than that, im sorry to agree , but the map on here was rather confusing and I had a ahrd time finding any other bars besides the ones in the soi that the celtic bar was in, and the hilton.

sorry if I didnt " try" hard enough but I walked and asked for 2 nights solid.

Its not exactly rocket science, I mean the nightlife sector of HH is basically a square with a few off sois, you walk round it, how difficult can it be?

Unless you're looking for Pattaya or Phuket quantities of nightlife in which case you've come to the wrong town.

Nope. You just have to use a reference that you know how to get to (like Hilton) and take it from there. And if you REALLY want to find the bars, you could always use this fine new device called a printer, and take a sneak peak when you feel lost.

One thing should be obvious though: Don't ask the bar-girls for the location of another bar. 99% chance she will not have a clue since that would mean you leaving that bar for another. :mrgreen:

That is because most of them have to be told twenty or thirty times the name of the bar next door. I have spoken to many who do not know the name of the bar that they work in every night.

I am sorry, but not true. The average BG (or even way above average BG) would not think of using any ploy that would keep a customer in a bar to drink beer.

Strange expression that. Has the opposite literal meaning to that which everybody knows it to mean. Just like the Dogs Bollocks.

Rocket science is one of the oldest and most easily understood of all tecnologies. You get some incendiary chemical, set fire to it and the exposive emmiissions cause it and it's container to move. I could explain the pricipal, with the aid of an example to any BG and she would proably understand. As for getting one to understand the concept of keeping a customer to drink more beer. Don't hold your breath.

Hi Guess,
that made me chuckle. Rocket science being on of the most easily understood technologies. Can you give me the low down on orbital mechanics please, failing that how to improve my score on IKTS will do fine. Rgds.

why the unfriendly remark i only make comment.
Shafter don't take things to heart so easily ...
some folk on here are alittle quick off the mark with comments but don't mean to be unfriendly or offensive

:cheers:

All the bars seem to laking in something at the moment !!

To re-iterate despite being light years off topic. Rocket science is a misnomer anyway.

As I have already said to proplel a rocket you just need to pack a combustable substance (the propellant) into an airtight container and set light to it. The resultant emmision gases will prople the substance along with its containe in the direction in which is was pointing when the propellant was ignited. Easy as a cashier in Pattaya, yes.

As for orbital mechanics:

Early in the 17th century, the German astronomer and natural philosopher Johannes Kepler deduced three laws that first described the motions of the planets about the sun: (1) The orbit of a planet around the sun is an ellipse. (2) A straight line from the planet to the center of the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals as it goes around the orbit; the planet moves faster when closer to the sun and slower when distant. (3) The square of the period (in years) for one revolution about the sun equals the cube of the mean distance from the sun's center, measured in astronomical units.

The physical causes of Kepler's three laws were later explained by the English mathematician and physicist Isaac Newton as consequences of Newton's laws of motion (see Mechanics) and of the inverse square law of gravity. Kepler's second law, in fact, expresses the conservation of angular momentum. Moreover, Kepler's third law, in generalized form, can be stated as follows: The square of the period (in years) times the total mass (measured in solar masses) equals the cube of the mean distance (in astronomical units). This last law permits the masses of the planets to be calculated by measuring the size and period of satellite orbits.


Kepler's and Newtons theories are the basis of the science oforbital mechanics. You only really need to know if you who are someone like Dr. Dave who make regular trips into space along with a happy bag of Burmese mushrooms.

As for IKTS. Why don't you try studying form. Even Khun Lomu has fugured that one out.

I hope that goes someway to answering your questions.

BTW why do you call yourself Sandy Mountain. Could this by any chance be a reference to Jabal yibir. That is a sandy mountain 92 KM NE of Dubai.

There are still wild sensimilia plants growing up there so I have heard. I recommend you try some.

Hi
How are you all?
I like to go to the bar after I have to work all day long and there are very good cold beers and I know myself that’s I love to drink-I just feel very nice and relaxing after I have a nice cold beer, but the best bar have to have a good music as well not only a good cold beers otherwise I can just get the beer from 7/11…what do you think?
After you have first beer then you should know if there is a good music or not or some thing else good, otherwise you wouldn’t be the same place more then few beers…Do you?
I don’t know-I don’t know, I only know I love beer as its cold stuff to drink and to make me feel good and relax and MAO after I has too many (I love cold drinks but other thing else I love HOT!),
I really care about the bar with good music as I really love music also I love to sing even I knows I sing not so well, but there are not many bars which with that good music-just quite the same music as every bar in town and its boring!
Well, wait for me to be able to sing those SOUL music and I will sing for my self only as I sing not so well…..
:cheers:

Well well, here wo go offtopic again...
That is because most of them have to be told twenty or thirty times the name of the bar next door. I have spoken to many who do not know the name of the bar that they work in every night.
I am sorry, but not true. The average BG (or even way above average BG) would not think of using any ploy that would keep a customer in a bar to drink beer.
Underestimation can be dangerous. I know quite a few bargirls who will try VERY hard to give you an impression that they are complete airheads, as this would be a great advantage when it comes to robbing you blind.

As for rocket science being a piece of cake, it is seemingly not about making a stick propell into the air, whch was actually done a thousand years ago with gunpowder. I will take all of this back the minute you land on Jupiter in a rocket you built all by yourself.

I don't quite agree with you Oe. As with beer, you can listen to the music at home and it will always be kind of music that you like. Sometimes (f.ex. when I'm watching football) I don't like to hear any kind of music. But that's why we have so many different kinds of bars, there's something for everyone.

Point 1. What do you know about BGs. Have you employed any????? They give the impression that they are airheads when that is exactly what they are. I agree though that there are girls who normally work as cashiers who have picked upon the fact that faking stupidity can bring short sighted results.

Point 2. What you discuss here is not rocket science but missile guidance. That requires engineers with a brain the size of mine. I am well aware that rocket propulsion was discovered one thousand years ago. It was in China by the way. If you want I could give you a historical run down of the development. Does the name Wernher Von Braun mean anything to you. I doubt it.

Point 3. I do not want to go to Jupiter or any other Planet or even any other country. I am quite happy here at home in Thailand.

Best of luck to you.

Khun Guess,

Some of your remarks are completely over the top. Please, just give people a chance. You can not expect everybody to be such a smart arse as you think you are.

Get yourself a life you sad git.
Voted the best bar in Hua Hin three years in a row.
Well stocked fridge. Good music, pool, cable and UBC TV. Water features, fish, no hassles no chocolate starfishes.

Guess, I know you've been a regular poster here but that kind or response is out of order. Consider this a warning.

You also do have the tendency to stray off topic on pretty much all topics you post on. This needs to change if you are to continue contributing here.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This can apply also to choice of bars. Many have tried to create themes and have had a modicum of success.

Variety is the spice of life.

Another apt saying that could relate to bars.

I personally do not visit them unless I am going to meet a person who is in that bar. So to me the best bar is that one that has someone in that I want to see. This could of course be the owner.

I do have to add however that bars that play loud copies of Dance Hits volume 12 part one without any consideration for the customers choice are no go areas for me.
