New Bar on Poonsuk Road

Right - I know it was altered quite a bit when Eddie was there. 'Gutting' though might account for some probs with the owners. Depends how it was done - but originally they were quite adamant about permission for major alterations :lach: Don't you just love that emoticon!

Stonehead Tavern

Any farang in Thailand must come to terms with the fact that Hotel California is the national anthem. It took over from 'One Night in Bangkok' years ago, and rightly so!

A New Bar on Poonsuk Road

Sorry I picked up on this maybe a bit late. If it's the old Ship we are talking about I had it for a couple of years from about November 2000. Up until then it was a regular Thai house with what seemed like a large family in it. I negotiated the lease through Ton in the Shopping Mall. On the day of ...

New Beach Boardwalk for HuaHin

Sorry Babe, nice thought, and I'm sure it would work fine in a lot of places. Sadly those places are not in Thailand. The motorbike issue for one makes it a no no. Anyway - the walk along the beach to Takiab is much more of a challenge and gets your muscles working if you do it the hard way on the s...

Billy's Bar

Hi Roel, yes it was still the Melia when we moved to HuaHin. Just before they 'improved' the frontage there used to be a great Stir Fry service outside every evening. You went along the stalls and picked your own ingredients and the chef Wokked it at the end. Dougy was there as well near Billys, wit...

Tuk Tuks

I guess it must be all TukTuk Mikes doing - but the ads on TV here in England now seem to be full of 'em. One being run by Sky Digital is a holistic montage of Tuk Tuk scattering chickens, fruit and bike riders all over the place, while a Siouxsie Sue clone on a bike points gun at driver. Whoever ca...

Anothermug?

Yes my post was indeed intended as light relief (pardon the expression) and you deserve a little time to cry into the beer after hopes are dashed. On the house front though Khun Richard gives sound advice. Have you flight booked for the getaway! Seriously, this issue made me think about the times wh...

HHDRC to permanently close

Hey Dawn you did a brilliant and very worthwhile job. I'm so sorry some of the locals didn't seem to see it that way. I hated the carnage of pups on the roads etc and your help with getting Chan neutered was greatly appreciated.
Take care and be proud, Mags x

Mags and Billy

Hi all its Mags - thanks Gooze for you concern! Yes as Buksida says we came back to England 3 years ago because of Billys health. After a year of tests it was found that he had suffered several small strokes, which accounted for the inability to stand up, especially after a Singha or 2! Billy was ne...

Australian Farang Novice

If you are used to the Pattaya scene you might find HuaHin hard to handle for 6 days. I moved there from Pattaya and ran a bar or two for a while. Its a totally different scene and can feel pretty dead during the daytime until you adjust to the pace of life there. But give it a try - and as a female...
