Re: Burmese border market

The Dan Singkhon market reopened yesterday (Nov. 25/23). Went out and had a look. I'd say it was running about 80% of what it was before it closed. I would assume it will get back to when it was 100% very soon.

Ranong golf Rattanarangsak camp

Golfed here yesterday. Was sports day so 50% off golf. Only 200 baht for 18 holes. Regular 400. This is an 18 hole layout. We did the full 18 but you can just play the front nine twice if you choose. Caddies asked us what we wanted to do. We said all the 18. If I knew better I would have done the fr...

Chumphon golf Kett Udomsak

Just back from a short trip. Played this nine hole course twice. Have caddies and golf carts. Weekday gf 300 caddie 150 cart 500 but two can share. Worked out to 700 baht each plus caddie tip 300 for 18 holes. Way better than Wing5. Better than Thanarat. Greens are weak. Fairways are watered. Quite ...

Re: House Window Tint and nice Cement Blocks

Thank you. Will give them a call.

I tried the Lazada way last year. The tint they sent wasn't anywhere near as dark as they said it was (from China) and I did a crap job trying to put it on myself

Exterior Bamboo Blinds

Does anyone know where you can buy the large Bamboo Blinds? I'm thinking of putting them on my Patio Doors to reduce the solar heat gain.

House Window Tint and nice Cement Blocks

I'm trying to find a company that will apply window tinting on my Patio Door Windows. The current solar heat gain is really bad. Also, I'm wanting to have a dividing wall about 3ft high between the bays in a Shophouse. I'd like to use some more decorative blocks rather than the ugly grey ones. More ...

Re: Ao Manao/Wing 5 Golf

Was just hitting balls at the range and see they now have caddies. 200 baht for 9 holes. 400 baht for 18 holes. $$$ That is the foreigner rate. 1/2 that for Locals. Don't think they will get many takers.

Golfing day trips

I live in pkk and wondering if anyone would like to go on some day trips for more affordable golf than in hua hin? I'm a ten handicap. Have been better but just play social golf now.

Re: Ao Manao/Wing 5 Golf

Played the course yesterday again. In better shape than 2 years ago but not much better. I still don't putt on the greens as they are bumpy and slow, however they are better than usual. Par 3 tee boxes hard to find some grass. I use it as a practice course only. If you aren't a serious golfer then i...

Re: Which Golf courses are recommended to play on the way from Hua Hin to Kanchanaburi?

Just played Dragon Hills. Exceptional value at 550 baht. Also, if you want to play a more expensive course then I would recommend Grand Prix out of Kanchanaburi. One of the best courses I've played in all of Thailand.

Re: Looking for nice resort/hotel at Prachuap beach

Those places are in Ao Manao, Khlong Wan and as far away as Huay Yang (Nishaville). If you are looking for something of that caliber and in Prachuap then perhaps the Sun Beach Guest House. It is a resort hotel but for some legal reasons I think they call it a guest house. Right across from the beach...

Grand Prix & Blue Star - Kanchanaburi

Just back from golfing these two. Tried Nichigo too but wouldn't let me out as they said they had too many Koreans and they didn't like golfing with Falangs - Lovely. So played Grand Prix twice. Highly recommend Grand Prix. Rivals anything around and reasonably priced (by Hua Hin Standards). Blue St...
