Re: Huai Sai Wildlife Breeding Station

Ah ah , there must have been an escapee or two hanging around our area recently. I live just down the road from the wildlife centre and never before have I seen monkeys in the area. Was watching one trying to break into the neighbours upstairs window couple of weeks ago and have been finding unusual...

Re: Krabi’s Boat Builders Keep Ancient Craft Alive in Modern Times...

Wow, this topic is a bit coincidental for me Mr. Pete. It was only yesterday I was watching an old 1982 video cassette of a Keith Adam produced tv series featuring these hua tong boats And then this morning I've tracked down an old hard copy book of Adam's travel series in Thailand which I have orde...

Re: Sukhumvit (Bangkok) Through The Years

Pete, thanks that article brought back some memories. Makes me think I should be digging out my box of old travel photos. The Russians were not so blatant as the Americans with their CIA office headquaters. Instead it was suggested by some that the old Aeroflot office on the corner of Suriwong and P...

Re: Design Ideas for Thai Style House

Sadly many folks go about building a new house in a back to front manner. You really should start making observations of your land first and designing the house to suit, not trying to make the land suit the house. Try visiting your plot at different times of the day different days of the week and in...

Re: Hua Hin water shortage

I'm not yet living in Thailand. Can someone explain to me the whole water tank thing? The rental villas I've looked at have water tanks. What is their purpose? How are they filled? How are they drained? Is the water stored inside these tanks suitable for drinking (not that I would), showering and w...

Re: Tips for recycling and reducing plastic use in Thailand

Isn't making recycled plastic brooms just kicking the can down the road so to speak.
As they wear down they will be releasing just more micro plastic particles into the environment.

Re: Japan Airlines plane in flames on the runway at Tokyo's Haneda Airport

The clean up job is going to be a major nightmare considering the ferocity of the fire and the dispersion of all those exotic materials down the runway.
And hopefully the passengers all got away without inhaling any of it too.

Re: Poll: Would you be willing to donate to keep HHF online?

You can count me in too.
BTW, I voluntarily contribute to support a free music station. The site was also near rock bottom some time ago and it's been brought back from the dead.

Re: Dragon Boat Racing, Khao Tao 2023

The PBS TV guys setting up at the lake told us that with the strong winds sweeping up the lake there yesterday swamping the boats was a possibility especially if side on to wave chop. Around at the entrance to the canal inlet near the temple was an absolute churning mess of wild white water.Let's ho...

Re: When was your first visit to Hua Hin?

My first visit was in 1975.

So sad to see the names of those who have left this world.
