OK..Here's my suggestion ..
Firstly I,ve forgotten the guy's name..Could be 'Pong'.
So you're gonna drive up the Pala U Road, go past Big C supermarket, & keep going till you see the right hand turning for the temple/dog shelter/elephant sanctuary.. DO NOT turn into this road..But turn immediately AFTER it.
Now straight away you'll think you've arrived at a roadside 'paint shack'..Well you'd be correct..BUT he's damn good at his job, & his prices are good too.. :thumb:
(It is often easier to come down from up the hill & turn left into his place)... :cheers:

My MG dealer told me that only Nissan has a professional paint shop in Hua Hin. So I took my scratches to them and behind their car salesroom is a very professional looking paint shop. They took a look at my scratched car and told me they needed the car for five days and 10,000 baht - I said no thanks!

Depending on how many scratches you’re taking about, that doesn’t sound excessive to me - In GBP that’s approx £230?
