Re: Driving ranges in Hua hin

I found the caddies to be very experienced and willing to help me for free - especially at Majestic. They are in a different league from Bangkok area caddies.

Re: 2011 Cha-Am / Hua Hin Golf Festival

I played at Black Mountain, Majestic, Lake View and Springfield a couple of weeks ago and the courses were all in pretty good condition.

Re: Tips for a novice golfer...?

I mistakenly thought there would be a winery to tour there, but this place is the vinyard only with a restaurant and tasting area. Turns out the winery ...

Re: Hello from Bangkok

Many Thanks BB. My wife has booked golf outings for us each day and we hope to check the real estate situation and compare it with Bangkok. I would be interested in any informed opinions comparing living expenses, etc.
