Hua Hin Forum

I'm thinking of doing a visit to Pratchuap town.. ..Have any of you got any reccomendations for hotels within the town that are not to noisy..? Also..Nightlife..? I've heard the place shuts down about 8.00!..Are there any 'entertainment venues' dotted around for farangs..? (or do folk simply retire ...

I too made my way to the beach about half hour before midnight expecting to see a wonderful display..I DID get suspicious when there were no sign of life out to sea & no barge..? Yes There were lots of folk kinda camped on the beach waiting for a midnight spectacular... Intercontinental staff/ma...

So many folk have asked me, & I have been unable to answer them...With the current issue regarding HRH the princess & her health status...many districts in Thailand have cancalled their planned displays.. ...What about Hua Hin's annual 'barge display' opposite the Intercontinental for tomorr...

So, as an update to my previous posting about flight prices..Emirates for December thru' agents like Skyscanner are up to £1352! Nearly all flights I was looking at were £1100+ Then I found out the cheapest option IMO out of Manchester was with Qatar via Doha..The Qatar flight is a decent one with o...

Just a quickie for folks thinking of coming out in December..The Emirates flight I'm trying to book (the website keeps refusing payment..?) is now up to £1162!..This flight went up in price by £80 over the last week! This is 4 months away! The ToT can quote it's usual B.s. figures & speculative ...

Since mid December I've tried to visit this place for the ambience etc..Every time I went there was bugger all there! So this inconsistency about whether it was 'on' or not? may have had folk (same as myself) thinking sod it..& not bother coming any more to an empty pier../

It's been the same snarl-up each weekend as the BKK traffic heads home..Years ago I made a suggestion that there should be an elevated roadway right from Takiap end of town to the palace are where the Rd becomes 3 lanes wide..OR..shoehorn a new lane either side of the new railway's elevated pillars ...

Steve/Dannie Boy..Yes..you're both correct IMO. I've a group of friends from my home-village area all wanting to come here..BUT after discovering they would have to jump thru hoops, fill in forms, then get 'accepted'... even before boarding the plane kinda had them stalling somewhat. THEN to find ou...

I see Woodstock has been closed since last week's fly-past by the SHA+ team..?
I wonder WHY (when it is/was open) their music has to be Soooo damn LOUD! ?? Woodstock seem like they are going head to head with BKP decibel-wise! Up to them I guess.

It seems that in H.H. the only folk refusing to wear masks (When EVERY THAI PERSON in town is doing so) are fat middle-aged farang ex-pats! All day long I see farangs on motorcycles with no helmet, & no mask.. OK, what makes them so special..? Do they not witness the black looks from the locals....

Right then...Where do I start..? H.H. Immigration...Went there for my 'Letter of residence'..1000b, 2 letters cos needed 2 licences..plus about 160b for photos needed and the relevant photo copies to be done... The lady in the copy-office is the same one that worked at the old site..she's very effic...

OK you lot...Yes I've done the online test/video thingy, yes it's printed out in colour x 2, yes I'm gonna try today to see if they'll allow me (without prior appointment) to do the test/grant me my licences, & yes you'll get a full report..good or otherwise..

Thank you for that joelle...I'll gamble on the 'no appointment needed' & take a ride over there and try to get there about lunchtime..hopefully in time for the afternoon session..

Cheers for that Buksi..Aye things may well be different oop north from you..?
