Re: Hotel in Huaymaiteng, Ratchaburi

My regular hotel in Ratchaburi is Western Grand, which is 23Km. An older hotel, but well cared for and quite cheap. It is on the edge of town. You must remember, driving in Ratchaburi is nothing like driving in Hua Hin. Traffic is very quiet. Driving around Ratchaburi is easy. A place I stayed last ...

Re: Superbru/HHF - Premier League Prediction 2023-24

With 2 IKTS legends on my tail for so long, it was only a matter of time before I was overhauled. Especially at the arse-end of the season when nothing makes sense. :D

Re: Bangkok Hospital Development Work

Definitely only the one today, but he was coping well. I walked for the exercise, not because there wasn't room. Maybe 1pm on a Thursday didn't justify manning the other buggies. I find car parking spaces in Thailand adequate everywhere except Bluport and now BH. I guess there will be other places, ...

Re: Hotel in Huaymaiteng, Ratchaburi

Dragon Hills is AFAIK a golf course.

Kongkarn Resort and Farmstay is 31 Km away, you can find closer than that. What is an acceptable distance?

Re: Bangkok Hospital Development Work

They have created a new car park on the empty land at the back, which has now been sealed, painted etc. They have buggys to take you to and from the main hospital. I am sure they will provide enough parking for when the new building opens. I went to visit a friend in hospital today, and yes, the ne...

Oh, and the spelling appears to be Huay Mai Teng (the spacing seems important).

Re: Hotel in Huaymaiteng, Ratchaburi

Maybe the golfing fraternity who frequent Dragon Hills could help. That is only 11 Km away.

Google maps suggests Lakescene Resort, which is actually very close.

Re: Hua Hin water shortage

Note: apart from being illegal, which in Thailand does not amount to much, a house pump should NEVER be connectd directly to the mains supply! Maybe my non-tech description, but our pump is between the tank and the house i.e. all water goes via the tank, except for one hose tap in the car port, whi...

Re: Hua Hin water shortage

Yes, we have a water pump by-pass function, but we rarely use it. Just use the pump and everything remains fairly constant.

[Edit] Our neighbours next door have a similar set-up, and constantly complain about lack of pressure because they by-pass their water pump.

Re: Hua Hin water shortage

I'm no expert, but as there are no other answers, I will give you my 'non-technical' version of what I think happens. Thank you for that deepee. I am very unknowledgeable in these things, and didn't realise some tanks are used purely for stand-alone storage. I just assumed all tanks were a mini-per...

Re: Hua Hin water shortage

I'm no expert, but as there are no other answers, I will give you my 'non-technical' version of what I think happens. The tank is placed between the water supply and the house. It fills naturally when the water supply is working until a stop valve mechanism decides it is full. Meanwhile, any water y...
