Thanks, BB, for the fantastic summary of your adventures. I'm a longtime annual visitor to Cha-am, staying at one of the few tall condo buildings north of Cha-am/the pier. My family bought a condo in the building at the start of Covid, and I spent a full month there in July getting to know the place...

Sharing the following article with some good news from those living in Cha-am/Phetchaburi who need to make runs to the immigration office: https://royalcoastreview.com/2023/02/new-phetchaburi-immigration-office-coming-sometime-soon/?fbclid=IwAR2fXQuHEMJKSKKYbuAqbNUr44FZRU37sAxyb29IdIi7qqyySXsFwbbyBf...

A wonderful tour, Ratsima. Thank you for posting. My family and I have been regular guests in that neck of the woods for 10+ years and have always felt at home there--so much so that we bought our retirement home in one of the condo buildings visible in some of the photos. Looking forward to seeing ...

And quite specific about mixing with others: "Avoid having meals or drinking alcoholic beverages with others!! So having a cuddle and drinking a smoothie with others is quite safe. What a load of crap. Just practicing for future people control. If China can lockdown 6 million at a time in Shan...

Happy to share. Here's a bonus, 3D view from the same website: https://peakvisor.com/3d-map/peak/khao-chong-muang.html

I defer to others with better local knowledge about the proper name, but the feature seems to have two different main peaks: Khao Phayom , with an elevation of 654 m, and the slightly shorter Khao Chong Muang (651 m) located around 1.2 km to the north of Khao Phayom. Both are listed as being approxi...

When receiving a vaccine, raise your shoulder a few inches. This raises the bursa and the needle goes into the muscle instead of the capsule that holds fluid. This will lesson the aftereffects of a shot. Quick clarification request, HD: when you say to raise the shoulder, do you mean to raise it by...

Thanks, Ratsima, for sharing the link. I've enjoyed seeing the videos since first discovered them a few months ago--really appreciate my daily dose of Cha-am while waiting to return when I can. I'm curious to know about the changes in the production process from earlier versions. What did you do dif...

This recent article provides one writer's/publisher's take on the property market: https://royalcoastreview.com/2021/07/property-domestic-buyers-looking-outside-bangkok-to-hua-hin/ There is some logic to the claims being made in the article, but are people going beyond "looking" outside Ba...

No, but I think they'll all be saying the same. Why are Thailand issuing Sinovac to the over 60's when it should be AZ? Many saying they won't accept Sinovac. A strange story, but one of my son's friends in Germany, who has visited us several times here in Hua Hin is saying that she doesn't trust a...

I'm a longtime visitor and property owner in Cha-am since last year. I saw the article linked below about the opening of a new Lotus's mall in Cha-am. Thoughts? Insights? The article mentions some of the pros and cons, but I thought I'd seek local insights as a wait to be able to make another in-per...
