Hua Hin Forum

Can anyone shed some light on the gossip around town about a Hua Hin bar owner who was causing problems in another bar? Apparently when politely asked by the other bar owner to please cool down, he broke the guys arm and punched his wife in the face dislodging her teeth. What happened, who is this g...

I have consulted with Lawyers in BKK. I am assured that as long as you are legally married it doesn't matter who's name the land or house or any other property is in, when you divorce all is shared equally. It doesn't matter that you have signed to say its her money when you buy land, it also doesn'...

If you are legally married and have a Thai marriage certificate then you are entitled to 50% of everything (Land and house ALL POSSESIONS) as equally she is. Even if everything is in her name, it must be shared. Get a copy of the chanode and your marriage certificate and go see a lawyer. The lawyer ...

I have been making enquiries about selling my house and was surprised to discover that some of the agents wanted/quoted 5% commission. This is a huge increase of 40% from the standard/norm of the already high 3%. I was told by an estate agent who charges 3% that a few agents in HH got together and d...

At dawn the telephone rings. "Hello, Senor Lucky? This is Ernesto the caretaker at your country house. Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?" "Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor, that your parrot died." "My parrot? Dead? The one that won the Int...

Glenn Roeder, the Newcastle United manager sent scouts out around the world looking for a new striker to help his team climb the league. One of the scouts informs him of a young Iraqi striker who he thinks will turn out to be a true superstar. Glenn Roeder flies to Baghdad to watch him and is suitab...

An Adolf Hitler - taking two shots in a bunker An Arthur Scargill - a great strike but a poor result A Kate Winslett - a bit fat but otherwise perfect A Rodney King - over-clubbed An O.J. Simpson - somehow got away with it A Condom - safe but didn't feel real good A sister-in-law - up there, but I k...

An Ugly man walks into his local pub with a big grin on his face. "What are you so happy about?" asks the barman. "Well, I'll tell you," replies the ugly man. "You know I live by the railway, well on my way home last night I noticed a young woman tied to the tracks, like in ...

A Rushed Marriage A man met a beautiful lady and he decided he wanted to marry her right away. She said, "But we don't know anything about each other." He said, "That's all right, we'll learn about each other as we go along." So she consented, and they were married, and went on a...

I bought Casino Royale last week, at the little narrow shop at the side of the in town supermarket, down the lane between the supermarket and Satukarn square. The quality is excellent, the guy there does a good job and will replace if you are not happy with the quality, 100 bht a movie. I agree with...

Last nights rainfall was great but a lot more is needed.
My wife tells me that the sizes of fruit and veg she buys at the market are smaller than normal, because the farmers are picking crops early as they
feer their crops dying for lack of water.

I love this thread because its so easy to get wound up by the crazy doings of motorbike riders. I do, in truth I think we all do and we all are amazed at their antics as we are used to a much more structured road safety system. In a crazy way as you drive more and more there is some sort of fuzzy lo...

I used to use the high speed Catamarans in Hong Kong and Phills. They were excellent, fast, air-conditioned, clean, showed movies and served food and drink and good reclining seats. I would welcome them and certainly be a passenger. But I can't see too many Pattaya people wanting to visit Soi Disapp...

I don't mind using a tuk tuk it just depends on how desperate I am. Also in HH you cannot get a proper taxi, so your choices are limited and if I travel over 5 minutes then I don't want to use a motorbike taxi. I can't understand how the HH authorities priced tuk tuk fares at about x2 what it costs ...
