Hua Hin Forum

The recently opened hotel The Standard has a number of events although they have cancelled the visit of a famous Bangkok DJ they told me. Non residents can join in but must present their vaccine certificate and do an additional test on arrival at the hotel! All hotel guests (half of their 200 rooms)...

My two vaccinations to date were arranged through the BCCT in Bangkok. I have contacted them asking whether a booster jab is available and told they are awaiting government (British presumably?) instruction. Is it possible to organise a booster jab through the hospitals or clinics here in Hua Hin?

I'm thinking of driving down to Phuket for a break and to take advantage of the attractive hotel rates. I've had my jabs and got my certificate (courtesy of BCCT). Does anyone know if there is any other requirement for driving onto the island eg testing or similar?

I was in Bangkok yesterday for my second jab through the BCCT scheme. I had previously asked by email whether a venue in Hua Hin was possible but was told "no"! I should say that I arrived one hour early for my 11.00 am appointment though I was registered, processed and jabbed and back out...

Has anyone seen any announcement regards when the latest Bond movie may be in Hua Hin?

The Bangkok Post online today states that the customs dept are to reduce the duty by 50% on imported alcohol and tobacco for a period of five years. This is to bolster tourist demand.......no dates mentioned.......I can't really imagine that it will make a lot of difference but any reduction in the ...

Previously I've only bought a car from a dealer when together with my ex wife they handled all the paperwork. Now I'm looking at a car being sold privately by a Thai owner.

Do you really think they want to find a cure for the flu when they can sell flu vaccines year after year! Covid is just another huge business opportunity - imagine if...

I had no side effects whatsoever but my wife had a headache the day after but nothing more........all told very pleased!

I too was in Bangkok last Friday to receive my AZ jab courtesy of British Chamber of Commerce. All very efficient once inside the medical centre and 2nd jab arranged for end of October. Originally bookings on line were for the over 60s or those with certain medical conditions. However, a major plus ...

You're probably right BB as it has happened before. But what's annoying is they promote a contact service but then don't respond to queries - 4 days now without a response. It's not great customer service....

For the full package of all tv, movies etc it averages about 550 thb per month which I'm happy with. However, these latest issues are frustrating and maybe it's time to look at alternatives. Any other options to recommend?

I'm a long term user of hdprime but in the last 3 days have had repeated error codes while trying to watch various series or movies. I've sent reports to them which have not been answered. Is anyone having similar problems?

What is clear is that covid 19 is alive and well in Thailand which will lead to inevitable local outbreaks which will continue to escalate and spread. What I really cannot understand is why there is not in progress a mass vaccination programme. There is simply no excuse for any government or regime ...
