Hua Hin Forum

Yes - thank you Kate - please keep posting when you can Just one question though - did HuaHin get to you as well - enough to make you want to have a 'proper' holiday there? :cheers: The answer is yes, Margaret. I loved it! I stayed near the night market and was lucky enough to be shown around the o...

Dear all, Apologies for not replying sooner to your comments, I have been away and only just back online after returning from Thailand. I have only just read the article by Andrew Drummond and the associated posts today. Firstly, I want to reassure everyone who took part in the research and those fo...

Kate I know you plan to send each participant some feedback but I think it would also be beneficial to ALL on the forum to see the results. I know for sure many of us have similar likes/dislikes. So perhaps after your conclusions you would make a suitable post on this forum :cheers: :cheers: You ma...

Hello! Just wanted to post to say thanks again to all those who have replied to my call for participants in the research project we are doing in Lifestyle Migration in Thailand. I am very graetful for all the advice and help offered so far. I am now in Hua Hin and slowly getting to know this lovely ...

If you would like to chat with one of the younger members of this forum :mrgreen: ... I will be in Hua Hin most weekends of August to visit my family. I came to Thailand in 2004. It was just before my 21st birthday that I made the journey to see my family (who had moved to Thailand a couple of year...

One angle you may like to explore, if it's within the scope of your studies, is the amount of people who want to migrate here, but for one reason or another (hint to get you started;) : usually Visa and Work Permit related!) aren't able. I know there's a good few on this forum who are trying to fin...

I think your answer to why the "boom" in early 2000. The Tsunami. This caused those that frequented Phuket to look elsewhere. Hua Hin was a good choice and was minus the "sex tourism" taint of Pattaya. Hope this sheds some light. :D Thanks for this, the internal migrations of pe...

Ok..as a 'rookie' on the forum I can now post links so here is the link to our website which has some more information on it about the project... http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ss/lmhub/lmhub_home.html And here is our fledgling blog, we will be posting interesting links/events/stories on this bl...

Thanks for your comments Sargeant, it is interesting that getting more for your money is a key motivation, and now that property is more expensive, some people are moving out. I am hoping to chat to some property developers whilst in HH to get to grips with the changing property market - would you s...

Hi Kate just a post to give you a reason to respond and get your posts up I am probably teaching you to suck eggs but This town was a small fishing village 15 years ago with a max of 100 expats then (if that)it then exploded 2002/3/4 and kept on growing up to 2011 how many now maybe 4,000 plus woul...

Kate. Are you looking specifically at people who have retired to Hua Hin? Or are you looking to talk to people who work here? What about people who spend a significant amount of time here? Perhaps people who work 6 months of the year and relax here for 6 months? Additionally, are you only planning ...

I am all for any realistic research into the sociological aspects of expat aims, and the realities of expat life. But - and please don't take this the wrong way Kate - I would want to know exactly why this research is being undertaken. What is the aim of it. How results will be used. Who will see t...

Hello Kate, I follow the HH forum most days as I plan to retire to Huahin in the future.I already own a house there with my Thai wife and holiday there twice a year. The reason for the contact is that we live in Sileby near Loughborough which might be of interest to you. There is quite a large Thai...
