Re: Reading matter

I beg to differ. There is LOTS going on in Hua Hin . .but very little information on it. This is in part due to the fact that this is Thailand and 99% of what goes on here is in Thai! And since most of us are not fluent in Thai, especially in reading Thai we dont know about it and dont have access ...

Nightcrawlers

Not the least bit interested in this particular forum and from what I understand it to be . .I would agree that it ought to be terminated. Seems sleazy at very least. Does anyone really find it useful in any way? Or is it one of those things you need to work to get into and then are bitterly disappo...

Re: shows & gigs

So its now only 2 minutes to edit a post??? Great. I just checked this info and wanted to add it. No dice. :roll: The Blue Angel is easy to find too. The girls are usually on the corner of Bintabaht right in front of the Hilton and the Blue Angel is just down the first street on your left as you wal...

Re: shows & gigs

Lefty . .you didnt miss a thing. Unfortunately. .that IS what passes for humor here. (One reason I have stayed away and reduced my HHAD contact to a quick check-in twice a month.) :roll: You are lucky. Usually any mention of the Blue Angel and the thread becomes continuous sophomoric banter between ...

Maxnet Mystery

I have a few basic questions here . .more to do with phone lines than Maxnet . .but connected. Background: I have had Maxnet for a couple years now. Not perfect, not unbearable. New modem a couple months ago. Lately more and more "drops" a site already open flips to "can not find serv...

HHAD forum

I will begin by saying that my New Year's resolution was never to make another post on HHAD. I have already removed HHAD from my favorites list . .but it is the only game in town. So, ever optimistic. .I keep coming back hoping for the best. (obviously my resolution lasted only three days!) I joined...

not prejudiced

No prejudice involved! The people I have gone in with on every occassion have been Thai. Every hotel caters to hi-so Thai people as well as farangs and the same thing applies. Staff will always be reluctant to challenge anyone who might be a guest.

Sofitel topiary gardens

I have been in there several times over the years and never had a problem. In my experience, any farang walking into any hotel here is just never stopped. The guards and most hotel staff in a large hotel dont know who is a guest and who is not and few will take the chance of confronting you for your...

Not Xmas lights!

EP, as I was sternly informed last week, those are not Christmas lights. They are lights especially put up for the King's Birthday . .even though that day is now loooong past. To answer your question . .they appear to be on all night long so I would suggest between 10 and midnight when the streets a...

So far

From what I have observed, Hua Hin is still very quiet for what is supposed to be "high season". The hotels I am familiar with are half filled at best, our Bangkok Thai neighbors have not appeared in many months and I can still get my favorite parking place in town. (It also just feels lik...

Hello?

Personally I lay the fault and responsibility at the door of the hospitals and health authority. And just when can we expect either or both of these entities to: a. recognize that there is a problem with the status quo b. come up with an alternative plan c. spend the money to implement a "real...

My question

I really think these guys created themselves though. They saw an opportunity and, no fools, they jumped at it. .and they appear to be expanding their territory to Hua Hin. As far as the Government Health authority or San Paulo spending money . .cold day in hell comes to mind. Wait for the authoritie...

Body snatchers redux

I brought this thread back to life because I have seen these guys at the Palm Hills exit to Petchkasem most nights for the last few weeks. I think it is the Por Tek Tung guys because I see orange jumpsuits and something like an emergency vehicle parked there. This is a reminder of their "servic...

colon cancer

One of the silent killers that you need to have checked out around age 55 if not earlier and at least every five years after that is colon cancer. No symptoms until too late. Colonoscopy is the procedure usually used. It is both painless and thorough. (I have had at least a half dozen of these both ...
