Re: Careless damage to alloy wheel at Toyota Cha-am

There are skips at various places i know of two near my place in Khao Noi. not large skips but maybe 1.2 x1.2m square. On the tree waste they often dump it on land near...

Re: VIP bus Hat Yai

Not Sure If there is one, I did the reverse journey a couple of years ago and was told that none of the VIP buses leaving Hat Yai stop at Hua Hin. Ended up in a mini van, never again.
You may have to get two buses and change down south somewhere.
Of course might have changed since them.

Re: Do farangs smell bad to Thai people?

Ive been told by some Chinese friends that its generally known that we smell to the asian nose of sour milk.
showered or not and its due to our consumpion of dairy products, which is tradionally not consumed by asian people.

Re: Airport VIP Bus to and from Hua Hin

Where exactly does the bus drop you at the airport terminal. We are spending one night in the Novotel at the airport and I'm trying to figure out how far (with big bags) we have to walk from bus to hotel, which I'm not sure how to get to either... is there a walkway/tunnel from inside the airport t...

Re: Anyone Working in Oil & Gas?

Not sure why someone mentioned a rope access course. I've spent most of my life on rigs and well servicing vessels and I've never yet see a sparky working aloft, and certainly not the ones that work alongside drill crews. I guess the guy mentioning rope access works the same as I do in production ,...

Re: Is there any Ferry/Bus Service from Hua Hin to Pattaya

Could also get the bus to the airport and get one to Pats from there, think its even the same company or booking agent anyway they use the same stand at the airport.
just another option
