Re: One dead as airplane makes an emergency landing in Suvarnabhumi

Maybe standing up in a contorted position for a few minutes offers a minor relief from being squished into a cattle-class seat for the past 12 hours. :idea:

I often get up and walk about when on a plane, it relieves the aches and pains of not being able to afford business class!

Re: Hua Hin hospital special medical clinic

I have a few seriously negative things to say about the standard of nursing and auxiliary care at HHH Would agree with that observation from recent experiences with a friend who was unfortunate enough to end up on the men's ward at HHH following a stroke ... a field hospital in Mogadishu comes to m...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

I think Hin Lek Fai is the wettest part of Hua Hin Seems to be ... rained all afternoon up soi 88 near HLF, most I've seen in HH for months and a welcome change from weeks of searing heat! Past history of this thread indicates that this is quite early for Hua Hin to get the regular/ongoing rain tha...

Strange restrictions, those are the best times to get bites!

Re: Khao Tao Lake

Are you allowed to fish in this lake BB? My son is back from uni for a month or so and wants to go fishing locally.

Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

Kind of expected, Thai businesses don't do email and their websites are usually non-functional 90s editions - you have to do it all on social media. :roll:

No response from BS Residence so Plai and Herbs looks the go at a third of the price and closer to the airport, cheers all.

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

I'm surprised the police team doesn't get more dodgy decisions awarded, considering how fundamentally bent they are and how bad the refereeing is. :duck:

Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

Yes, should have specified budget. Agoda is telling me closer to 1,500 for my date. Just want something simple for 600-800 for one night near the airport, Suphan Lake place looks closer to that, unless anyone else has any other suggestions.

Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

Thanks for the suggestions, neither website was working so emailed them for rates. BS Residence is beyond budget if Agoda is anything to go by, don't need anything fancy, just want to get my head down before the morning flight.

What are the 3 teams coming up?

Re: Hotel near Suvarnabhumi

This is an old thread and links above no longer work. Are there any updated recommendations for an inexpensive hotel near the airport for a night? My usual place is a construction site.
