Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month

^^ I did pretty much the same thing right there in Hua Hin and did it for years. I did not have the same house your friend had but all else much the same. Played pool in the various leagues 4+ times a week, drank beer as I felt, took my pleasures in the same way. I ate mostly Thai food because I lik...

Re: Western food supplies in Cha-am

Re: Minibus/van to Bangkok

Aye, I quit the mini vans when the airport bus proved to be reliable and cheap. Overall might take a bit longer once you transit into BKK city but 1000 times safer.

Re: The best hamburger in Hua Hin

A hamburger that is covered in gravy is not what I would really call a hamburger.

Re: Return to Huahin after 6 years

Others may see it differently, but IMO Hua Hin has never been a place that the Chinese have flocked to.

Re: Sinking Ferry - Koh Tao

My worst ever travel experience was on a December day more than 10 years ago when I took that high speed ferry over to Koh Tao. I kinda knew it was going to be bad when they were handing out vomit bags prior to departure. Very high wind and waves. We barely got past the breakers and the waves, more ...

If your insurance was not as expensive would you feel any sympathy then? No, I did not think so. 555

Re: Where To Purchase Bahn Khun Por Cement Table/Benches

^^ Ohhhh . . . Sorry Boss.

Because I love'em I buy this item regularly I usually patronize Big Kiang up Cha-Am way or there is a place on the other side of Cha-Am heading north on the left near Tha Yang. Big selection there.

How many more choices might you like to have?

Re: Watchmaker

As a former clockmaker (and NOT a watchmaker) I had to look up what "rattrapante" was. I had never heard of it which I thought was a little strange as my father was a watchmaker of 40+ years but I had never heard him use that word. In looking it up I found that the rattrapante chronograph ...
