Might do better by checking some of the property sites for HuaHin/Cha'am. . . this site doesn't want specific urls bandied about, but any search engine will come up with them. You can find clean & safe for under 10k baht, or can spend a lot more (20k baht not rare at all) depending on what you'r...

Search function?

I'm pretty computer- & website-illiterate, but. . . how feasible might it be to add some sort of "search" function? Many questions might already have been answered/discussed months and months ago. . . for example, in the "White" forum, "Book-swap", nobody answered m...
