Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin

Are you really saying you can’t go 24 hours without alcohol? - But sitting in my room with the bars closed outside is so very boring.. Uncle Tom, you can stock up a day before at your local 7/11, refill in a different container and have a romantic evening down on the beach with your chosen one... C...

Re: Book Hotels how far ahead?

You will find a hotel just like Big Boy said, just mind the due to rate yielding (which most hotels practice), the rate will go up in conjunction with the occupancy.

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions warning

The problem with Agoda is the misrepresentation and lack of disclosure about hidden extras that some hotels will spring at you on arrival. The hotel should make sure their listings are correct, pool view rooms actually have a pool view, babies getting charged whether they eat or not should be speci...

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin

Some venues closed, some ignore and some are using plastic cups....like I said, a lot of confusion as the letter issued is not clear.

Re: Dates when no alcohol sold in Hua Hin

Last night at 9 PM Hua Hin Police Department issued a letter that asked all entertainment venues (including bars and restaurants) not to service any alcohol today. So there is a lot of confusion as it is not prohibited. This is only in Hua Hin, BKK - even Cha Am have no restrictions. Since it was on...

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions warning

Agoda does not allow the hotel to offer cheaper prices by direct booking. That is not correct, all major hotel chains offer best price guarantee and the TPI rates are structured in a way that the lowest direct booking rate cannot be undercut. I think it's worth to differentiate between stand alone ...

Re: Agoda hotel descriptions warning

Most of the times you will get a better rate if you book directly with the hotel. Hotels have to pay between 15-30% commission depending on listing, inventory, positioning etc. so there is room to negotiate. Furthermore, if you find information wrong on Agoda, complain directly with Agoda, they will...

Re: Football Academy, Holiday Camp or other ideas ?

True Arena in Hua Hin (they also have a FB page) usually have a sports summer camp every year and you might also want to check out Dusit Thani Hua Hin Football Academy.

Re: Portaloo Hire

Hi Big Boy,

we worked together with Elegant Restrooms during the last event and I was impressed by their toilet trucks in terms of cleanliness and facilities.

Their webpage is http://elegant-restrooms.com/th/.
