Re: What food you miss in Hua Hin?

Indian food, well as it is in UK. I've tried it a couple of times here and doesn't match up to Indian food in UK or India.

Re: 150B fee on travellers cheques

I just did a search and according to Tripadvisor the charge for cashing Travellers Cheques will be increased from 33Baht to 153Baht per cheque from 1 March.
I better change enough in the next 2 days to last out my trip.

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

I don't mind the rain and greyness so much, though it's what I came from the UK to escape. But the satellite tv has been down since the rain arrived, and I'm stuck in my hotel room. Luckily the internet is still working and I have some books to read, and I bought some dvds on the beach a couple of d...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Started belting down in Khao Takiab at 5.30pm, followed by electricity going down for 20 minutes, just come back on. The rain has eased off a bit at the moment but looks like it will probably resume again soon.

Re: Soi 80 bar map

OK thanks. I have to go to the ENT clinic on Soi 55/1 on Sunday morning. If it's like last time I went I'll have to wait 3 hours after putting my name on list before I'm seen, so I'll see if either of those places is open for a haircut while I'm waiting.

Re: Are the bars open tonight

I was told bar in Khao Takiab will be closed tonight, but got the impression it was something to do with Buddhist festival. The barman said there will be torchlight processions at all Buddhist temples between 7-9pm.

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Yep, Accuweather are saying a morning thunderstorm tomorrow for Hua Hin !! It would seem that the prospect of some rain never materialised, so it's more sunshine to look forward to. There was quite heavy rain on and off for about 90 minutes yesterday in Khao Takiab, and the electricity and water wa...

Re: Soi 80 bar map

Not a question about bars, but i remember reading somewhere on the forum that there was a barbers in Soi 80. I think I might have seen one on my first wander down there a couple of weeks ago. I went back on Monday to get a haircut and couldn't find it. There were a couple of ladies hair salons near ...

Actually I think it was yesterday (Tuesday). I also read that Aeon will be increasing the atm fee to 180Baht in line with other atm providers.

Re: Airport VIP Bus to and from Hua Hin

I came in on it two weeks ago (1130 service), left 15 minutes late but made up the time and arrived in Hua Hin at about 1520. Only two empty seats onboard. Good service, I'll be using it again when I leave. Booking on website was easy too.
