Hua Hin Forum

Roel: Randy Cornhole did a mammoth trip with all his stuff from Hua Hin to Surin. The trials and tribulations with photos can be seen on www.thaidave.blogspot.com. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you PM'd him for the removal company. I think he's still in contact although he's way out in the sticks. VS

If Libby during the relationship did not pay her the going rate of 5 000 - 25 000 B/month, he owes the lady the settlement. Is that really the going rate? Blimey. :? I should stop advising my students to get a top job at a hotel and advise them otherwise. I should probably also have a word with som...

Francois: If you are in France now, you can get the casings (skins) in your own country. My brother-in-law lives in France and makes his own lovely sausages. Impossible to buy here, much easier to get them posted to you. Poosmate: Got the latest catalogue from 7-11 - no mincer. Do they do back order...

It's the devil and the angel thing, isn't it. Each whispering in your ear. I think I'd take the money, give some of it to my favourite charity (to salve my conscience) and have fun with the rest. Quite frankly, if the family of the deceased just bundle stuff into bags willy nilly then they're the on...

Interesting topic C. Do you want to drink where there are other falangs, or do you prefer a non- falang drinking establishment? Parahandy and I have managed to convert many a shop into a kind of pub. We rarely drink in Hua Hin, because we don't live there, but you'll find that most shops have some k...

Before I say anything, let me just say that I'm not a prude and I've been to enough rugby club do's to know all the words banned by the BBC. JW: Are the comediens funny without being crude? What I mean is do they use the 'f' word in every sentence, and is the humour from the hong naam? If so, it's n...

Dear Vital spark You mentioned your pocket book identified the snake, sounds useful... Is that a Thai book of Snakes? They are really fast on grass, but slow and vunerable when on concrete or particularly on tiled or marble floors. Yes, it's a super little book with lovely photos. It's called (a ph...

Matthew: I do hope that the desperate ones just said 'Yes', got the help and continued worshipping whichever God or philosophy or religion they had always believed in. I don't quite understand this 'conversion' thing. You're not actually signing a piece of paper, and nobody checks to find out if you...

Golden Rule No.1: (especially for a Golden Tree Snake, which really is harmless and doesn't deserve to be bashed on the head) Don't alert Thais to any snake sightings . They'll just kill the poor things. We learnt this lesson a while back and now just usher or sweep them in to a dustpan and put them...

A lot of places do it, including L. Service on the Phetkasem Road towards Cha-Am. They're just before the new traffic lights near the Palace. There's also a walkover just beyond the lights, so as soon as you see one, or the other, slow down and pull over on the the left-hand side. If Khun Gai is the...

He who does all the cooking says that you can get most Indian spices in the wet market. You need to hunt around a bit and also know the name of the spices in Thai.

What particular spices are you looking for?

If you are using the Quote button on this page, you have to type in the 'Buksida Says'. If you want it to happen automatically you need to use the Quote button within the posting that you are replying to. Thanks BB, just using you as a guinea pig. Hope you don't mind. Anyway :offtopic: How do you f...

They don't really have "seats" in Asia so how does that fit in ?

Thankfully, over the past eight years or so, western loos have become de rigueur. Even in our little hamlet in the bumpy bits.

(I'm trying quotes here and it doesn't say 'Buksida says' - why not?)

Niggle, I know you've just done this to niggle, so I'll humour you... Let's work on a percentage basis. One male, one female living together. Female 100% seat down. Male 20% seat down (depending on age and prostrate). So 60% of the time the seat is required in the 'down position'. Saving energy and ...

Super kind offer Bill, but he'd get lost, and the little tuk-tuk would probably lose a wheel or something in the pot-holes. We're about 35km out of town, over the bi-par (or by-pass) and towards the bumpy bits and dangerous territory ( getting near the communists, shhhh! ). If we ever find ourselves...
