We haven't been to HH for a few years now, and are thinking of coming back for a couple of days over the xmas new year period to see some friemds. We'll take the ferry from Pattaya, and looking for a couple of options maybe around Soi 80 that are good, or ones we should avoid... any tips appreciated

Thanks for the input brianks, I'll investigate bus timings etc, but isn't there massive road works and big contra flows? I spoke with Toon who just sent his wife to HH and he said train was better. Charlie from CC beach bar said the winds 120+ kph with horizontal rain and waves that came into the th...

Hi all, As the title says we are in Khanom and fed up of the wind. it's dropped to 45 kph now but just not pleasant... and most of my pants have been blown to Malaysia, so thinking of coming up to Hua Hin for a couple of days, and looking at transport oprtions. I'm guessing that the lack of googlabl...

Hi there, We are in Thailand over xmas and new year, BKK for 4 nights and HH for 14, back to BKK for 1 night then Singapore and home. I have an unlocked MiFi unit and did have a DTAC data only sim card which it is now dead. I use the Mifi for out and about internet and I turn cellular off and our mo...

Excellent, the apartment we have rented is 400m form Market Village so will go in there. Any expat get together over xmas & new year?
:::::oops just taken myself off topic:::::

TY Richard, address will be a challenge as it we will only have the holiday rental place, and nothing with our name at that address.

Hi all, We are coming back to LoS over xmas and new year (2014) part holiday, part property scoping for a permanent move from the UK. We have a week in Bangkok and 2 weeks in HH, and wondered if there a Brit friendly bank in HH that would open an account for us so we could start to make deposits in ...

Hi all, We are Brits currently working in Switzerland where they have a number of different types of permit some allowing residency only some work and residency, some are unrestricted so you can switch jobs without having to re-apply (normally EU or non EU after 5 years), some are linked to a specif...

Thanks buksida. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case.... god bless a good old UK sole trader eh.

WeI've tried retiring once before and got bored doodooless, even in paradise I reckon I'd be bored... but with a tan. So not a major income source, more a pastime that earned a few bob. Given that serious poop you can be in for working without a permit, would the authorities accept a small dog kenne...

Bumping an old thread rather than start a new one. Would a small kennels (boarding and breeding) be a viable business in Hua Hin, and would it be possible to apply for a WP to set one up?

Thanks for that chas;-)

I understand what you mean Dannie, my 1st Thai trip was Pattaya in '95 for a week and I really didn't like it much, but we left there and spent 4 days in BKK, then 2 weeks in Koh Samui and I was hooked. Since then I have been back to BKK, Chiang Mai, Phuket twice and HH last year. I am warming to La...

Thank you lomuamart. I'm pretty sure I've got the bank account and visa thing.... you watch the Thai's move the goal post now, lol. Would you think Kasikorn would be ok opening an account for someone staying in a holiday rental apartment?

After day 3 I was considering it, but your right we paid for the apartment when we arrived and a car for 2 weeks too. Then we have the flights, as we are routed Langkawi - Singa, Singa - Zurich. It's not that Langkawi is bad, it's ok.... just not as good as Thailand.
