Re: A Green Sea

I have never seen the Green sea but one thing I noticed when I go into the sea at Hua Hin, when you come out your trunks stink. I noticed this last February and again in early December, I am not sure if it is the general sewerage that is deposited into the sea and the tide brings it in. My trunks ar...

Re: Can you reccommend a quiet hotel in Takiab, Railway exce

Thanks Guys, the Takiab Beach reort hotel looks just the job, prices seem to vary on the internet, maybe a good idea to ring them or pop in nearer the time.
I will stay monday to friday so that should help with the hotels regular Thai customers who like weekends.

Re: Night life in Khao Takiab

Jim just rents Oasis and the Thai guy owned the freehold also lived behind Oasis, certainly put a damp squib on sing along night.
Beach hut, Bob and Noks and Beer o Clock were all very quiet, probably will be very busy over the hoilday period.

Re: Night life in Khao Takiab

There was a hit on the Thai man who owns the Oasis on 30th November, he was on a motorbike with a TG on the back about 200 yards from the bar when he got shot and sadly died.
2 Thai men were caught the next day.

Re: Jings

Peter was away in England to see his sick father, he returned to town about the 23rd November with very long hair, I told him to get it cut and he now looks much smarter.

Re: Hua Hin Swimming Pool

Can you pay a daily fee to use the Hilton pool ?

If not I suppose you could buy a Cola and sandwich(if they take cash) and loll about until the staff get used to seeing you, then hey presto:)

Around Cabana Beach and Sairee Beach near the Novotel look pretty nice areas of Chumpon, both a bit out of town though.

Re: Weekend Trains HUA HIN to CHUMPHON

The 1715 train possibly will lose time to Chumpon, but I went on the 1115 am train? once and it went like Usain Bolt, I think it had arrived 45 late in HH and but only about 10 minutes late in Chumpon. A big problem with the 1300 train from Bangkok, it has about 16 coaches, and passengers waiting at...
