Re: Living in Palm Hills Golf Course

We lived in Palm Hills for 10 years and I can tell you that 10MM will not get you anything unless you go for the smaller houses at the front, left of the entrance gate but they are pretty old and not very well built. If you want to buy land and build yourself it will cost quite a lot. The lots in Pa...

Re: HomePro / Thai Watsadu

Two more places for you...sorry my brain was not functioning correctly until now... 1. Daiso - a Japanese houseware store located at the basement level of Market Village and at Bluport. Almost everything in there is 60 BHT, it's a funky store with all kinds of things that you didn't think you need u...

Re: HomePro / Thai Watsadu

Re: HomePro / Thai Watsadu

Index and Homepro are probably your best bet. Thai Watsudu is more building materials nothing interesting in the decoration department and if you don't want to get out of town too far. Also try the new Blueport on the 3rd floor (?) they have a large household department with lots of decorating items...

Re: Maldives 2017

Have you look at Air Asia's website? They have packages to Maldives from Bangkok with many hotels and it is easy to book from UK. Otherwise Bangkok Post has always advertisements from agents in Bangkok but it's probably difficult to get a copy of Bangkok Post in UK.

Good luck.

Re: Internet connection at Palm Hills

Palm Hills has fiber optic lines from, I think, TOT. Go to the property management office and they will tell you which provider. 3BB also service Palm Hills area. You might have to contact the internet provider office in Cha-Am instead of Hua Hin because Palm Hills is officially in Cha-Am.

Re: retirement visa for married couples together...

Thanks BB, good to know that we have this option available. That will free up 800K for us to use it on something else other than for purpose of extending visas. I assume it works the same way as a regular retirement extension without having double financial requirement that one should get an "O...

Re: Bringing Electronic cigarette to Thailand

Although the answer to both questions are legally "no" and despite all the news online about fines and jail time if you are caught with an e cigarette in the public, the real answer is kinda yes. I have been in and out of BKK twice in the last 3 months with my vaping equipments and no prob...

Re: Retirement visa help

After many years of coming to Hua Hin for the winter on Tourist Visa, we decided to try the retirement route for my husband first and since I think Thai embassies in different countries have different requirements and starting 2016 with the (new) multiple tourist visa, the requirements have changed ...

Re: Golf Course Closures

Can anyone tell me if it acceptable to use the concrete path through the golf course as as running track. I ran there very early on Friday morning and nobody seemed bothered. The only course I have seen joggers is Palm Hills since it winds around the residential area of Palm Hills even though the m...
