Good Plan. Arriving HH Oct 25th. See U on the 28th.

It is a very sad day for the HHAD community. Yesterday Sara Beth, the one year old daughter of Dave Calvin and wife Jeab, of Jungle Juice Bar, was tragically killed in an automobile accident. I cannot comprehend what it must be like to lose a young child in such tragic circumstances. My wife and I a...

Hi All, The time is finally here. Wheels up tomorrow for LOS. Will arrive HH on Friday. (I have to spend a few days in BKK first). A free beer to the first person who welcomes me when I enter the Sugar Cane on Friday Night. ( I'll be the tall old fart with the full head of brown/silver curly hair). ...

Only 20 Days and counting. Sugar cane sounds like a great place to start my tirst trip to HH. Looking forward to the experience

Chang is available in UK. They sponsor Everton. Not easy to come by though. Everton sell it at the ground and you can get it in some Cash & Carries Singha is sold by Sainsburys. Not as good as drinking it in the wonderful LOS though. :cheers: Right on. Nothing like sitting at a beer bar in LOS ...

IF any group/chain is being overly greedy, don't you all think that there is a Thai at the centre of it all?Winkie[/quote

Strange statement. Most of the over-priced, over-rated hotels are American owned. Hardly something to blame on the Thai's!

The strength of the beer has nowt to do with Chang not being available - just look at Belgium beers, special brew etc. Maybe the the Chang sponsorship is aimed at breaking down the last bastion of control Singha may still have - export? I hope Chang can break the Singha monopoly, especially on Thai...

Hi H2ODunc, Great to meet another Chang lover! I visit my daughter in Oxfordshire several times a year and have wondered why Chang is not available in Brit pubs given the Premiership sponsorship. In Canada, the only Thai beer regularly available is Singha and then only in Asian restaurants. I can &q...

I miss my Chang. 85 days and counting!!

At the big chain hotels people know what to expect. While I agree that in local places you can get better value or friendlier staff, it can also be a lot worse. Many people don't like the gamble, so they go for the name they know. This may be true for some chain hotels but from my experience they c...

Special Offer Miller Lite , Miller Genuine Draft and Warsteiner 90 Baht per bottle First one free for HHAD people. This weekend only while stocks las. San Miguel still on off at 70 baht until promotion ends. Miller Lite only this weekend until supplies last! How do you ever get rid of something tha...

Usually try and avoid big chain hotels. Amost always overpriced and not very friendly. Much prefer small hotel with locals bar. Prices are better and he clientelleare usually a lot friendlier. Why pay 3 times as much to get the beer, complete with attitude?

Sounds like my kind of place. My motto is: "Gowing old is mandatory, growing up is optional"

Just as an aside, most katoeys I've met are a lot of fun to drink with. Once you "out" them and everyone relaxes it can be fun. Like most Thai's if you accept them as they are and are not judgemental you can have a hell of a good time in their company.!!!

Thanks for the info.

Is there any specific time or days which are better than others. In Pattaya and Chang Mai, for example, the local expats have places and time where locals and visitors can get togethe. A.K.A. "Meet and Greet". Please don't be afraid to PM me
