The first tourist apprehended and fined or incarcerated should present great publicity for TAT at a time when tourism is at a very low point. Particularly so when such a policy has not been widely promulgated to incoming tourists!

Reopened Soi 112

Thanks for the info. Very much confirms what I had heard about the courses. The fees seem very reasonable compared with courses in Hua Hin Have found several options for accommodation by googling but not knowing the general area not sure what might be suitable to meet restaurant/bar requirements of ...

Later this year a few of us are looking to play Dragon Hills and Royal Ratchaburi with overnight stay in the region. Any suggestions for accommodation appreciated. Would like to be near restaurants/bars. Also interested re information on condition of these courses, green fees etc and any other usefu...

So what are the costs of these new services?

I fully concur with Mafiaminds post re restaurant and bar. For massage right next door to Sunset Boulevard is a small massage shop. Sole proprietor and therefore only masseuse. Name is Rin, very popular need to book and don't expect "extras"

Further afield is Royal Ratchuburi and Dragon Hills

Coming to Hua Hin once again this year. Am thinking of not only playing local courses but moving further a field and taking in Dragon Hills and Royal Ratchaburi for a few rounds. Rather than travel there daily was thinking of staying in the area for a few days. Would appreciate advice on accomodatio...

I have checked several web sites for details of courses participating in this years golf festival but there seems to be some confusion. Does anyone know whether Sea pines is participating this year?

Can anyone provide advice re Dragon Hills Golf Club. What is the condition of the course like - fairways,greens etc? How difficult is the course? Which Hua Hin course would you consider to be comparable? Is it worth the trip from Hua Hin to play. Are there any touristy activities along the way?

Certainly the first part re transfering in Sterling is right. UK and for that matter Aus bank fees to exchange to Baht are much higher than in Thailand. No doubt others can fill you in on T#

Thanks guys. Yes in the past I have done exactly what you suggest - buy a cheap phone over there. I should have added that this time I want to go down the unlocking path on my phone so that I can change providers when I return to Aus.
