Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
Question: Is the Petchaburi Immigration office open at all on Saturdays or Sundays? Looked for a post or announcement of Immigration office hours and couldnt find it.

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
Yes. The town I reference, Tha Yang, is roughly midway between Cha Am and Petchaburi.
A visit to this Immigration Office has the additional attraction of seeing and perhaps visiting the immense Naga dragon sculpture at Wat Tham Chaeng which is located right next door to the office.

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
Just a quick positive report on the 90 day registration at the Petchaburi Immigration office on the road to Thayang. . .a trip I make every week anyway. Busy office when I walked in perhaps 20 people waiting. I grabbed a form and took 5 minutes to fill it out. Handed it in. They took 5 minutes to pr...

Re: High Season 2023 has arrived
Not sure if it is linked to high season or the holidays but there is something big going on at the deserted factory building just south of the tunnels. ( Google lists it as "Graffiti Abandoned Factory" and the Enjoy Hua Hin Nightclub seems to be part of the action.) There are huge light di...

Re: Tickets and booking trains from Hua Hin
Thanks hhinner! That makes perfect sense. But "begins on" or "starts on 5 January" (or the day before) would make things a clearer.
Also. . . does anyone know if train #40 with "second class/air con" has reserved seating? Or is it a free for all?

Tickets and booking trains from Hua Hin
Contemplating an excursion to Bangkok and back to try out the new services. Booking is already way more complicated and daunting than simply driving up as usual or hopping a mini-bus. But I shall persevere. 1. Bangkok is listed as Krung Thep Apiwat but to book "Bangkok" worked. 2. I select...

Re: Biopsy due to possible skin cancer on face
Aldara cream was available last year when I used it. OTC but very expensive.
Speaking of expense . . .my bills from Dr Chaisit are a pleasant shock. Just a drop in the bucket compared to BNH in Bangkok!

Re: Biopsy due to possible skin cancer on face
Thanks so much for the recommendation Joelle! I have had two appts with Dr. Chaisit and am pleased with the kindness and professionalism. People may wish to know that the clinic has moved to Hua Hin Soi 35. The clinic is just after the intersection of Soi 35 and Petchkasem and in the only commercial...

Re: Best Bank in Hua Hin for joint accounts?
Why would anyone need a joint account? The Bangkok Bank app for example has free transfers among all Thai banks. I’m sure there are a number of reasons for having a joint account but I think a good reason is the financial security that comes with either spouse being able to access funds if the othe...

Re: Best Bank in Hua Hin for joint accounts?
Thanks Scout for the very informative post! I did not even know that SSA would do a foreign deposit . . .though the paperwork chaos you detail puts me off from even trying! My SS check goes to my US bank and I rely on a dear cousin to send me what I need a couple times a year. That part of the "...

Best Bank in Hua Hin for joint accounts?
Ran into a problem yesterday with SCB which suddenly, after many years without a hitch, decided that a joint account can not use online banking either mobile or on PC. While I totally understand why this change was made, I have now lost practical access to my account as the joint feature is, for us,...

Looking for a dermatologist
Biopsy and skin cancer. Just now dealing with a melanoma which was removed and found malignant. My hospital is BNH in Bangkok and I can see that dealing with the dermatologists there will be costly as anything they do will involve many trips to Bangkok from here in Hua Hin. I have been to Dr. Niwat ...

Old banknotes?
In cleaning I came across a small stash of old banknotes. . .showing Rama 9.
Are these still legal tender? Should I exchange them at a bank for current notes?
Thanks for help
