Hua Hin Forum

Thanks Buksi, I guess I'll give it a go then.

It's true Lomu. All I have to do is go to the embassy and swear :cuss: under oath that I make a million dollars a month pension and they will give me an officially stamped letter saying it is true! Of course my pension is not (quite :mrgreen: ) that much and I tell the truth and take proof, but they...

Does anyone have experience with XP (Professional) SP3?. I keep getting reminders from MicroSoft update to install it but I've heard that it has some problems. Have they fixed them now?

Yes, A lot of Japanese are racist, and I heard from a friend that it is very common in Korea too.

Lots of good info for a future trip... thanks Buksida!

I've still been receiving the regular monthly bill right through August. No changes here and I live in Hua Hin.

Thanks SJ, Hopefully your tips may help others but I just looked through my menus and I have neither "Info Service" nor "mlive" listed there. I do have a Samsung but it is a cheap one without many options. It sure as hell is annoying! I just got 2 more while reading your reply an...

Starting a couple of days ago, I started receiving text messages from something called "T-News". They come about every 10 to 20 minutes and are in Thai (so I can't read them). It is very annoying to be beeped by your phone with a useless text message every few minutes but I can't figure ou...

Welcome Bazza, I to, like Pet, read the forum for a couple of years before moving here to learn more about life in this part of Thailand. I didn't start posting until I had lived here long enough to feel like I had something to contribute. I hope life is good for you here. In my early days (and stil...

I agree with both the original poster (about the burgers) and the Wookie! I eat there often and they still have many good Thai dishes (the wife likes the spagetti) and at reasonable prices but there are much better burgers to be had around Hua Hin.

Richard wrote: "What's your diet?, what's your weight? Seen a doc?" Diet is varied, foreign and Thai food, mostly healthy but some junk. I'm overweight, but not obese, and yes, I've seen several doctors and they all laugh at me and say something like "Sweating is good, it is your body...

As a follow on to the expats returning to the homeland thread, I thought a thread about what is the most difficult aspect of living here would be relevant. For me (but as I have found, this is somewhat unusual, or I am at least in the minority on this) it is the heat. I am a sweater and I am constan...

Oh, and by the way, in case the original poster is still looking for rolling papers the new Villa market has them right at the checkout counter.

I know this is an old thread but rather than starting a new one I thought I should post this question here. I have a friend coming for a visit who is a pipe smoker. Does anyone know of a shop in Hua Hin that sells pipes and tobacco for pipes? If not, does anyone know of one in the Sukumvit area of B...

I'm sure there are some masseuses around here that could medal in the clean and jerk.
