Hua Hin Forum

Thank you Dawn for trying to bring it back under control and to Elem for her contribution. I guess it was a bit of an open question, but it has also started a dialogue on the subject between my wife and myself, so all to the good. A bit of background would probably have helped, my wife is 9 years yo...

Many thanks for the comments, I think that Big Jimmy has hit the nail on the head with the comment re western ladies. Both of ours dearly love Thailand, have done for 14 years, but that was only for 3 weeks at a time. The rest of your life is a different matter. If we manage to get the OK ,then a sp...

As 2 married couples who have spent many a happy holiday in Thailand the subject of early retirement/"lets get the hell out of England" often comes up in conversation. Reading the comments made by the male population of Hua Hin and having been there ourselves ,it is easy to see that my bes...

Having looked (twice) at property in the Costa de Sol, anyone wanting to buy out there must have sufficient money to buy at the top end of the range of villas. Spain is now paying the price for the vast urbanisation programmes which have developed into nationality enclaves. An excellent example of t...

Thanks for the info.
Duty Free it is.

One hour to lock up the house time.




Keep the faith

Thanks Maipenrai 24 hours from now we should be over the English Channel heading far east will advise full details of trip on return keep yourself posted. Guess, it would be nice, but I fear we may spend the whole two weeks without ever meeting you guys, maybe we just have our holiday and come back ...

Hi All This may sound like a silly question but I am due to leave for HH in 12 hours and I was wondering if you could advise if Southern Comfort was available in bars in HH or should I bring in my own. I had a big problem in Phuket , never got used to Mekong/Coke, and had to resort to the good old &...

Eat your heart out Maipenrai .
I leave for Hua Hin on Sunday night, arrive Monday evening.
Can`t wait to get out of this place and the anticipation is getting higher.
This will be 3rd trip to thailand, it s the only place to be.


See you all soon.



Keep the faith.

I have just sat and read the entire 10 pages devoted to this topic and you really get the full benefit of the situation reading it all in one go. I have to take my hat off to Lev and the Mods for their patience above and beyond the call of duty. There must be times when they wished............!!!!!!...

Thanks for the info.
I believe this could replace waiting for the Pension, the Heating Allowance going up to £300 and the telegram from HRH.
My anticipation knows no bounds, wonder how long it will take???

Hi Bas.

Understand that, so I assume that they are like campaign medals and change as you become more experienced and contributory to the Forum.

If that is the case what are the parameters.

Good Morning Everyone. It`s a beautiful day in the old country and it is nice to see the populaton with a smile on their faces, must be Spring. :) Which leads me to my question :- As a Novice I have yet to understand the significance of the 6 Lips under our names. Why are some all light , some with ...

Guess I would agree with you, love Belgium, been twice got A.H`d both times. But good people. R.A.F was held at The Teign Brewery,Tuckers Maltings. Newton Abbot I think there was over 70 real ales from various breweries. Didn`t manage to sample them all, I think the legs went on holiday after about ...

Forget London and the Midlands, the best real ale, emphasis on the real has to come from the West Country. There are some cracking mini breweries springing up every month. The Real Ale Festival last weekend was out of this world. More and more pubs are stocking "guest" real ales and the ge...

Amazing how the conversation changes subjects. In answer to the Argyle question. The club was formed by two gentlemen F.Howard Grose and W.Pethybridge who shared rooms in Argylle Terrace. Plymouth around the turn of the last century.The Argylle and Sutherland Highlanders were stationed in Plymouth f...
