Re: British tourists in nasty brawl minutes after seeing in the New Year at Hua Hin

Must have been a really slow news day to feature a couple of guys having an argument on the number 1 drinking night worldwide. Must have only happened in Hua Hun....not anywhere else. :banghead:

Re: Hua Hin Farang- food prices

Zab wer soi 112 - you have to specify cod when you order as it is not on the menu and apparently it's very good. That's the word on the street, haven't had a chance to try yet. Look forward to your feedback when you do! Where is Zab Wer? I'm further west on 112. Going out of town on Soi 112 on the ...

Re: Asia's first Holiday Inn water park resort opens in Hua Hin

Blacky, the hotel told me yesterday that the Sky Bar's scheduled to be open for business on the 24th. I too am looking forward to a different venue for the occasional scenic slurp, and a convenient location for those of us living south of the town. MLS, I will see you there :thumb: Sky Bar will hav...

Re: Snake bites in Thailand - medical attention

I have followed the topic "Snakes in House & Garden" but I have a slightly different question. I read about many encounters with snakes in house, garden, etc. but I never hear about anyone actually being bitten by a snake. My questions are: 1) Does this happen very often? 2) If someon...

Re: Football on TV in central Hua Hin

Hi PGS,

My go-to place to watch football, rugby, etc. is Father Ted's (Irish Pub) located opposite of the police station/City Beach Hotel on Soi 61. Great food, drinks and about 6-7 tv screens.

Cheers,

Re: Hua Hin's tallest building to open this month

I've always believed it was 5 stories, and East of Petchkasem Rd. However, I'm not sure where I picked that up - probably sat on a bar stool at the time. Does this new building actually fall within central Hua Hin? Very loosely, if it does. The "law" is 500 meters from the beach which is ...

Re: Security at Hua Hin to be stepped up for high season

Believe it or not, but they are correct - visitor figures have gone up compared to 2015 and 2016. However what they don't mention is that there is a shift of market and geo source. The ratio of Thai to Foreign visitor to Prachuap Khiri Khan is 80:20 which puts the number of foreign guests into persp...
