Re: Hua Hin: maintaining charm in the face of progress

Not a fair call Mags whatever your political view as the route was selected by Alistair Darling and the prince of darkness Mandleson himself.To add insult to the decision they had a choice of 2 routes and they selected the one that crossed Tory heartland of the Chilterns and Warwickshire

Digger, why do you always call Hua Hin 'HO Hin'? I get the impression that you don't like this forum much, or am I missing something? Contrary to your unusual perception,I really like this forum and look forward to revisiting the place itself in Jan 2009 when I do a long trail.KL.Hanoi,Dien Bien Phu...

Cnn traveler reported today that tourism numbers to Thailand were down a third over same period last year so maybe that will lead to cheaper airfares and discounted hotel rooms for all visitors.I do not think this figure takes into account present disruptions as programme was probably made last week

Hi caller
I thought that at first but if you read Guess's post right at the beginning ,he has highlighted a comment by Huahinian about state pension being frozen which is quite correct.Its only 1730 here in Argy and a beautifully cool early summer day.

I was actually thinking of Eric's first game when the ball went through his legs. This may shock everyone but my suspicion is that Arry may not buy a keeper,he put up with James,arguably the best shot stopper in the game but look away when he comes off his line but hell we have grown to love him and...

The difference being our first team includes some of the best players in the world, yours doesn't. In fact not one of your first team would get in ours with the possible exception of Bale.
