Hua Hin Go Kart
My Thai wife has a son (don't they all?). He is 10 years old and normally lives in the village with his aunt. We had him over for Songkran but had a hard time keeping him away from the TV and its silly cartoons. UNTIL we took him to the Hua Hin Go Kart race tracks on Soi 2. What a treat. Even this o...

I was asking because there is a big military camp in Pranburi, which could lead one to believe that some sort of exotic night entertainment might be available in the area?

Wine prices

The 5 liter box is 900 baht (Red or White). While it is passable as an every day table wine and is very drinkable (and af...

Re: Gold Crown
How strange - maybe the Thai Chinese have a thing about gold that's been used in that way? Maybe it's because it's 22 carat and Thai gold is nearer 24. Two things puzzle me though. Not being funny but isn't 22 carat a bit soft for a crown anyway? And an even dafter question maybe (but might have so...

Gold Crown
An old gold crown came off the other day, and my excellent dentist decided it was time for a new one. He cleaned and polished the old one and handed it to me, suggesting that I go to a gold store to cash it in. After all, it was fine genuine 22 carat gold, and he belived that its should give me at l...

Re: dentists
who would you say is the best ?????????? I have excellent experience with Dr. Nikorn. He is not the cheapest, but IMHO probably the best. I had bridge work done in gold, which in my home country would be of such magnitude that it would be subject to public bidding under the EC major public works pr...
