FYI, I've seen more tourist's in Hua Hin this year that any of the last 10 years I've lived here. As a local resident it's time to think about relocating. :blues:

Re: Rice farmers block route to South

Can anyone give me an update if the blockage is still happening around Petchaburi? I have Thai people in BKK saying it's still in place? Curious if this is truly the fact?
