Hua Hin Forum

Thinking about same day visa runs, to Ranong for instance. Does anyone know if this is affected by TDAC? Can you make the online application whilst still in Thailand?

My hearsay contribution, from a Thai source. The reason it's a five year closure (if it actually is) is due to under age girls being found there. Clarity is unlikely to emerge here.

Pattaya News. Additionally, per Thai election law, there will also be alcohol sales bans in affected provinces, which includes Phuket and Pattaya/Chonburi (But not Bangkok) from 6:00 PM on Friday, January the 31st, to 6:00 PM on Saturday, February 1st. This will shut down popular entertainment venue...

Elections on 31 January, local not National. Will this be a dry day?

Not sure about High Season having arrived but it's definitely busier than last year. I live quite centrally in town and there are more Western tourists about.

KL flight stopped during covid era and has not restarted as far as I know. I think it is Chiang Mai flight only out of Hua Hin.

There is small Clinic just after Kasikorn Bank heading North on Petchkasem Road. I've used them quite a few times. OK and reasonably priced.

Just after the market branch of Kasikorn Bank there is a stall selling only avocados. Haas are around 150 per kilo. I buy often from her and she knows how ripe they are, one, two, three days etc. Helps if you speak Thai.

I don't know if this is actually up and running but I do not fancy leaving without an exit stamp.

I presume by "E passport" they mean one with a chip?

Here's the link, you should get some info from it

You can walk along the platform of the old Station and there is a (by Thai standards) fairly easily negotiable crossing with concrete slabs between the tracks. It is by the portacabins to the South of the Cafe.

I've just been there, access via the old Station for now. Had a walk around, you can't go up to the platforms and no sign of a Train arrival today. Looks like there is a tunnel, entry via the peculiar structure at the top of Soi 80. Things are starting to happen....slowly.

Yes, a modest contribution

Taking the Sleeper train via Hat Yai down to Padang Besar at the Malaysian Border was an old favourite. I used to continue on to Butterworth / Penang as I have friends there. I haven't done that since covid so not up to date with current times etc. Also, it's best to check up on Sepparist activity i...

I don't think Ban Phu Nam Ron is open to foreigners. There has been Burmese army activity in that area. A friend went to Three Pagoda pass yesterday and that was closed. You could ask the "Visa Run" office at Condochain (if they are still open) think there phone number is 091 821 4826 or 0...
