BOWLING GREEN

Post by jajabinz »

Hi

Did you get any replies re the bowling club? Do you know of any bowling greens around Hua Hin; I am trying to find one for my family to use while they are here in a few weeks.

Would appreciate any information you have. Many thanks.

You will find Hua Hin's only bowling alley on the top-floor in Market Village.
(Tesco Lotus is first floor).

The bowling alley is half length lanes and is very expensive when we went there, once only, 4 adults and 2 children we had 2 games some fried pork nibbles and a few drinks, i probably had 3 or 4 the total bill was 2700 baht for just about an hour and a half.

I know Ken, but it's the only one we have as far as I know.
(Not to mention the queues but that's maybe history).

Maybe there could be a niche in HH, for a real bowling green, bowling in the sunshine in such a beautifull place :D after all you do have some great golf course's a good family activity and maybe appeal to the 3000 + retired expat community.
I think it is such a shame that some places are just so pricy you go there once or twice but not on a regular basis, have a good time but it's down to cost. I know it's a free economic market but activity generates activity equals repeat business and makes a place like HH even better to visit i.e more things to do good for tourist and local alike.

I was talking about the idea of green bowling in HH, and also the fact that some places just charge to much to make me want to go back there again i.e the bowling in Market Village.

I agree that a bowling green would be a real asset to Hua Hin.

It's an ideal business opportunity for someone, you will have my custom :D
