Re: Tourist Slump Continues

Sorry if I upset you, Richard!

I'm always happy to accept criticism, but it would be helpful if you at least mentioned why you completely disagree with my comments...

Re: Tourist Slump Continues

Re: Can I keep phone number with expired pre-paid SIM card?

Or you could try the Nokia 210 with a full QUERTY/Thai keyboard. B2090 new from a phone shop in Cha Am. It offers fast basic internet access + Wi-Fi and fast texting.

Call me a cynical old sod, but if the will was really there to build a second track, it could have been done 10 years ago! I th...

Hello and how to add a picture to my profile?

Hi! Just signed up today, after dabbling with Teak Door which I found just too big and too aggressive on occasions ...

Cheers,

Re: hua hin for retirement

I retired to a village between HH and Cha Am a year ago. Living between the two places, it's only a 30 min. motorbike ride or B20 bus ride to either: Hua Hin - Busy, vibrant and tuned in to providing everything for the retiree from abroad. I am able to visit and revert back to English culture for a ...
