Re: Hua Hin Jazz Festival & Asia Jazz 2014

Looks promising..

Am I correct in thinking that Suan Luang Rachinee Park is the beachside park next to Sip Gow Rai (19 Rai Park)? Close to the beach end of Soi 19?

Re: Winner 2 Piece Sofa as new

not trying to be an a smartarse but don't think your pic is doing you many favours. although the sofa could well be quite new the lighting in the pics makes it look old and dirty to me.

Re: Public Transport Hua Hin

There is a public bus (medium to large size old orange ones) that go from Cha am to Pranburi. Not too sure how late they go though. And you can flag down the mini vans going to and from BKK. There are quite a few companies doing this run now so seem to see one every 10-15 mins, but they won't go ver...

Re: Short Trip To Kanchanaburi Area

Once again thanks for the great and detailed report/review. Very useful and informative. I gather you have responsibilities and connections to HHAD but if you didn't you could do quite well with your own blog site.

Re: Ceiling fan problem

Giving the blades a good clean usually helps a little. The friction from built up dust will slow them down slightly.

Re: Looking for an Upholsterer

There's a good outfit just north of Cha am. Had a car done there in leather (seats and door trim) for about 12k from memory (2 yrs ago). Very good quality leather and workmanship. I remember the person that recommended them said that many of the local car dealerships use these guys but whack on a 70...

Re: Slave Labour and the Thai Fishing Industry

Wow - really sickening and eye opening stuff. I would hazard a guess that most of the prawns sold at the markets (and effectively restaurants) around Hua Hin would come from the many prawn farms around Pranburi. Would that be accurate?

Re: Give Me Your Coins

Hi mate - not sure if you are still on the hunt for coins but just uncovered quite a cache while moving house. Guessing there must be 10K worth of various denominations. Mostly 1's but a good few 10, 5 & 2's. There being counted as I type.

Give me a shout if you'd like them.

Re: Cha-Am Forest Park

Thanks for the report BB. Have been meaning to check this place out. May I ask what time of the day you went? Think you mentioned your wife having breakfast so just curious when the restaurant might be open. By the way - much appreciate all of the review / trip reports you have been doing lately. Th...
