Hua Hin Forum

Yes re China, well actually Hong Kong. Coldplay played at the major sports stadium and everybody was issued with headsets to listen so the local residents wouldn't be disturbed. I wouldn't have minded last night's music if the lead singer/s had half decent voices. They were flat and tuneless and rel...

Could someone enlighten me on how permission was granted for a loud rock concert was able to be staged adjacent to residential areas. It started about 8 and was still going strong late into the night. How and when does some muppet in Hua Hin municipal administration approve such a concert. Any where...

I am with you Bristollian. At our condo we have a rule that swimming is permitted between 8am and 8 pm. The other morning a young Thai lady was swimming at 7am. I pointed at the sign that said that.She nonchantly told me that the rules only apply to Farangs and not to Thais. That summed it up perfec...

This incident, if as reported, is the absolute pits. I am sick and tired of Thai youths who think that the law does not apply to them. They get a few tattoos and think they can rule by fear. To kill this disabled father of two is unfathomable. I hope that this time these four thugs get locked away f...

Good downpour here, still going

Not a drop out of storm, at Hua Thanon on the beach. Plenty of thunder but no rain

The temperature has dropped by 20 degrees in the last 10 minutes and the wind is blowing the oysters off the rocks. Looks and feels like some sort of storm is about to hit. Feel for the Polo organisers at the Intercontinental.

This story has really gone viral, all over the world. The actions of the Thai thugs in th is video have just crushed the Thai tourism industry for the time being. However, Hua Hin is now seen in a bad light and that is a crying shame. I have just checked the Australian media and it is the No 1 story...

The video has gone viral and the gutless act of the black shirt ring leader has damaged Hua Hin's family friendly reputation. I hope that the Thai authorities monitor this Forum and realise what terrible damage this excuse for a human being has done. Fancy doing a round armed punch to an elderly lad...

I think 100bht from MV to town centre is ok, however, the mafia who run the Tuk Tuk stand at MV are defiant buffoons. Today my wife and I had a load of groceries to return to our condo, 2 km away, and were told 150 bht and that was non-negotiable. I told them to stick it, however, my wife gave in to...

Just returned from MV and had a few shopping bags. Tuk Tuk back to my condo, less than 2 km, was touted at a take it or leave it 150 baht. The response from the less than helpful driver was that next person will pay, and not his problem. I went down to the main road kerb and got a Tuk Tuk for 120 ba...

When we first visited HH in 1992 the dogs were a massive problem and aggressive to go with it. You couldn't walk on the beach without getting hassled and even attacked by the ferals. Within five years they were all but gone so someone somewhere had the solution. Although not as bad as the early days...

I cannot believe that people like Homer actually exist, the word goose comes freely to mind.

Over the past few years I have noticed at our condo at holiday times an increasing number of young Thai men adorned in full tattoo adornments who think they own the place and treat all farangs with disdain. They are usually accompanied by stunning young Thai girls who seem attracted to these hoods. ...

The real fillip for formula One is the emergence of the Haas team and the the performances of the brilliant but erratic Grosjean. A fifth and a sixth in the first two races is very encouraging for a new team. China GP this weekend so let's see if Hamilton can get a decent result and the Ferrari engi...
