Hua Hin Forum

An expert's advice; stay on the top deck in case it capsizes, be a (strong) swimmer without heart problems, check the weather and wind before going, there and back, and lastly it helps to be a fat Brit, they float better.

The generals will just block the whole thing.

Tsunamis can only occur from megathrust earthquakes on a plate subduction zones, and around at 8.5-9.5. Excluding other non-earthquakes sources.

LOL, yes, tsunamis can't happen on our side.

You don't need one here and that's one of the good things one can put in the plus column for this place. Probably only other Americans here would appreciate that. Furthermore having a gun in the house with a Thai wife or girlfriend is a bad idea and if you had to shoot a Thai for a good reason, you'...

You might want to stay where you are - Donald Trump will be President January 20th and China just told him to stay away from the South China Sea. He won't and things could go nuclear quickly and Hua Hin is downwind for the fallout.

Sidthesloth...... We are living in a society where people believe you can place a sticker on your car to convince imaginary guardian angels that your car is a different color; a society where people believe that dolls, bought at toy stores, can protect them from harm.

What for? As an American, I spent a lot of time learning English and went to England one time, visited Buckingham Palace and again asked, what for? Went back to California and decided I made a mistake and should have learned Spanish.

67 years in the U.S. and never experienced anything like being talked about here. You doom and gloom guys about the US are reading the news too much. I never experienced any of the problems that have been suggested here just as HHFarang said. All you have to do is get fixated with the news and beli...

Wondering if anyone knows where you can buy shoes in around 11.5 to size 12USA. I believe that is 47-49 UK I am finding most places go up to around 46 and try and jam me into an 11 and that is just too tight. Any suggestions would be great. J-M Wear sandals, I'm a 13USA and go with a Thai 46, which...

Things I do not miss: Having to carry a gun every time I left my property Looking over my shoulder Sitting facing the door when dining out Wow! No offence, but are you unusually paranoid or is this typical behaviour in the US? Not typical at all... I've lived in 4 locations in the U.S., all large c...

Lets be honest, the food sucks here, that's why there's so many Brits here, they're used to it - you would never see the french here. I have wet dreams about deli pastrami or roast beef sandwiches and some dill pickles. LOL

The Brits should see the Idaho potatoes we have in the US, these Thai ones you couldn't give away in a ghetto. LOL

They're going for total lock down of the country, - well as long as they don't execute Americans I'll roll with that. LOL
