"anyone who gets on a bike falls off a bike"......me eighteen mos ago i was an hour into a bicycle ride cruising along about 30kph when the the last thing that went thru my mind, b4 the pavement, was how good i felt.......woke up in an ambulance 50 minutes later not knowing my name or age ...

if you want to be a little bit out of town....5 km south of Cha Am and 18km north of HH on a very nice beach....google CasaPapaya and see what you think. There is small five star hotel(Veranda) just a few metres away with beautiful beach bar, plenty of good restaurants nearby and the beach not full ...

If there is some sort of weather front moving thru the area then it might turn out that you will be unable to play for a couple days. The courses do drain well but not when u get dumped on for three days in a row. Typically the monsoon brings clouds in the afternoons and you might get a real deluge ...

oops, should have said ms pink or ms squid......sorry bout that

Mr Pink or should I say Mr Squid, My experience with the Hash groups around the world is that not drinking is not a problem.....heck, I have a friend who is the grand tyrant for life(the big cheese, the leader) of a hash group on the island of saipan and he does know bill w, that is he goes to the m...

hey dave, back to the topic and hope that i don't break any rules.....i stayed at the sofitel when it was the Railway Hotel and in disrepair....at 500 baht a nite it was a bit overpriced but that was 20 yrs ago. Stayed there once in the 90s after the renovations and it was great but I really preferr...

the gents that congregate under the clock tower adjacent to Starbucks operate the taxi service to Baan Kwai which is where the Regent, Novotel, Golden Sands, et al just 5km south of cha am. They drive the diesel powered trucks that will seat a family of six! All are pretty good guys. The going rate ...

Fulay Hotel(was called fulay guesthouse in the 90s) is right in the middle of the tourist area of HH just down the street from Hilton. It is thai owned and managed with a very good restaurant on the ground floor. Book early as they are often full up. For a little romantic boutique hotel on the beach...

I've a condo on the beach 5km south of Cha Am and 18km north of Hua Hin. The beach reminds of Hua Hin's 20 yrs ago....that is to say not full of horseback vendors, jet skis and still fairly clean. There are a number of hotels to choose from....The Veranda, Springfield, Regent Cha Am, Beach Garden, N...

with the price of petrol seemingly increasing every other day 2800 baht is not a bad price to pay. I make that same trip 8 times a year always using the same driver and pay him 2500.....they do have to make a profit

in another post comparing HH to Pattaya someone asked if they know of the first bars on the bintah.....well, back in the mid 80s you could get a room at the Railway Hotel(now sofitel) for 500 baht and they walk down to Sang Thai (the restaurant on the pier) and not see one light, had to carry a torc...

never actually stayed at either place so really can't talk about the cuisine or service. I've a condo next door to the regent chalet ......if you stay there you will be significantly closer to more restaurants within walking distant..... It's really a tossup between the the Regent property and Sprin...

i can highly recommend the Fulay Hotel.....they were called the Fulay Guesthouse for many many yrs but have gone a little more upscale(fortunately the prices have not) It's just down the street from the Hilton and not far from Goanna's. Very secure, nice people and a wonderful restaurant on the grou...

approximately 14km north of Hua Hin on your way to Cha Am is the entrance to the military base(great place to ride a bicycle or go for a run).....directly opposite the entrance is a good Issan restaurant....apparently a lot of the lads in uniform are from the NE and need their soul food.....it's a v...

the fairly new japanese restaurant(the name escapes me) near the night market gets my vote of confidence......i've eaten there twice in the past 3 months and found the fare to be surprisingly tasty, authentic and reasonably priced. Was there on a cool december nite in HH when I asked the waitress if...
