Re: Songkran to become 1 month festival

The mayor has actually admitted that the water stoppages are in order to redirect water supply for 'Songkran' festivities! Hua Hin’s water management authorities have said there will be a temporary suspension of the water supply from the Khao Laeng Water Production Plant. The suspension, aimed at re...

Re: Songkran to become 1 month festival

I DID read that the water fighting (Sorry TaT..err, I mean 'splashing') started in Pattaya yesterday!
Regarding Pattaya, Songkran always lasts for 10 days and has for years. I believe they also call it the Pattaya Festival.

Re: British weather

It would appear the meteorologists can't make up their mind. This from this morning's 'Mirror': Brits will be hit with a bout of summer heat within days as temperatures could hit the 20C mark. Londoners are set to see some of the warmest weather before warnings of unsettled conditions and showers se...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Considering how hot it is here and the prospect of getting even hotter, I do smile at some weather headlines back in the UK.

Here's one from this morning:

Re: Thailand fuel/pump prices

30 to 34 is a 13% increase so you can expect the price of everything that needs to be transported by truck/bus/pickup to be hiked more than that to cover the rise in fuel costs Percentages!! I remember years ago when fuel went from 7 baht a litre to 9. Non Thais couldn't understand why a 2 baht inc...

Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month

Thanks for your input, BB. I mentioned the non-visible BIB, not because I'm doing anything wrong but just to show there's no 'shake-downs' which you sometimes get here. The friend I have in Nong Khai who has lived in Thailand for almost 30 years, made the move, literally on a whim. 15 years ago, he ...

Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month

I see and hear what you say, but I've always said it takes a very special type of person to live that way. Nongkhai isn't a village. It does have all the mod cons, bars (even farang owned), restaurants (and a good selection both farang and Thai), girls!, a very friendly farang population, Makro, Lo...
