Re: The Jellyfish Thread

During the jellyfish season, we never go into the sea alone, and always make sure one of us is on jellyfish watch. You can usually see the little beasties as they sneak up on you.

Re: Aug 2-3 National Holiday, bars closed?

Welcome to the forum Sydman. The centre of town will almost certainly be dark and dry. However, the further out of town you venture, the more chance you will have of finding some company. You might have to drink out of a disused soft drinks can (you might get a tea cup if you're really lucky), but ...

Aug 2-3 National Holiday, bars closed?

I just read that 2-3 August are a national holiday in Thailand and bars are closed. I arrive on the 2nd in Hua Hin and was wondering how strictly this is enforced there?
