Hua Hin Forum

It looks like a very nice house, inside and out. I've heard good things about the area. It sounds like a good start for a new adventure.

It seems like none of the answers are from U.S. citizens... understandable because most of us stay in the U.S. I'm in the U.S. now and can't believe how cool, clean, convenient it is and how friendly people are. I'm going to buy a home here before I come back to Thailand to pack up and move!! I wil...

h Hello Dianne, Tout le monde vous répond en anglais alors "Vive le Français", je sais que vous m'avez écrit sur mon premier post.J'ai failli aller vivre en nouvelle Calédonie dans les années 80 (sur l'Ile de Lifou) mais mon contrat m'est passé sous le nez!! Ce territoire nous intéresse b...

Interesting point of view! Does this just apply to life in Thailand?

I appreciate your taking the time to put this together (pictures and all!). I hope to visit northern Thailand soon.

It is a beautiful place to live but I find things are getting to be a little too predictable. Ordered predictability is one of the banes of my western existence and I understand completely your frustration. Add to that the sterility of life in the west and I often feel like I'm some background extr...

Merci pour la reponse et c'est cool le muget qui viens de si loin.

Our guru lomuamart will confirm later, but I think you get the 60 day Tourist Visa from your Consulate, and then visit Immigration and pay a further 1900 Baht for a 30 day extension. lomu will clarify the timing of your visit to Immigration - absolutely nothing to worry about though. What you say i...

Better keep well away, hhfarang!

Welcome to the forum, Dianne. If you have the time and the inclination, it would be fascinating to hear about expat life on New Caledonia. There really aren't many expats in New Caledonia; mostly French people who come for a while to work. Some stay and some go back home. The quality of life here i...

I am currently living in New Caledonia, a French Island not far from the east coast of Australia. It is a beautiful place to live but I find things are getting to be a little too predictable. I need a new adventure. On my last visit to Thailand I found a place to rent 10 km south of Hua Hin and I w...
