Hua Hin Forum

Thanks US and very glad to hear you are fully recovered.
We always exercised some caution, never alone and keeping away from a number of bars which set my radar off, keeping to the busier sois etc. but we'll certainly be even more mindful next time. Stay safe

I have found this thread thoroughly disturbing. Well done US for stepping in to help the victims of the attack, I hope you are fully recovered now and that they too are on the mend. We were in Hua Hin again from Sept to Nov last year and were out after midnight many a time, round Binta & Soi 80 ...

We've done the trip by train quite a few times and have never been able to get 1st class tickets - we assumed this was because it was a sleeper train and all the 1st class cabins (which are then converted into 2 bunks) seem to go quite early and for the entire journey. 2nd is comfortable seat wise, ...

The train service being what it is, you may find you get there near to 2pm anyway. We were booked on the 6am train, it arrived at 7.30am (apparently quite common - it's a sleeper train coming from the South), it then took 5 hours and got us to Bangkok for about 12.30pm.....very hot, sweaty and grubb...

Hello all.... Chopsticks & Frank Hovis - they were both debit cards and only ever used at ATMs - we took out a large amount each ATM visit and then used cash for everything. The bank has promised to reimburse in full within 48 hours - it's being without a card for a week which is the most annoyi...

We got back from Hua Hin about 2 months ago. On looking at my account today, my card has been cloned and about £300 pounds taken - another 3 transactions were attempted but stopped by the bank. The money was taken from an ATM in Hong Kong about 2 weeks ago (my wonderful bank didn't bother telling me...

London Bar usually have one of two bands playing - our favourite was the one playing during the week - but we left at the end of April so not sure what's happening now.
It's well worth a look though - it was always a good night, good laugh and a friendly place to spend many an evening.

Agreed DSB and Kendo, he is getting more and more messed up. Rob W, from what your son said after befriending one of the sellers - that's good to hear - at least one of them (hopefully more....?) is relatively ok. And obviously I do mean 'relatively'. I have to agree about never buying any of the fl...

Does anyone know anything more about the kids - such as, are they local, do they actually have/live with their families, do they get to keep any of the money? I'm assuming they don't go to school? I've asked a few people but have been given various different answers. It is of no practical help at al...

Yesterday was so good! Happy lovely people, so much laughter and not a hint of any trouble. A proper reminder of what is so wonderful about Thailand.

My top 3 would be (and sorry, I don't know the names of 2 of them.... :oops: ) 1.A restaurant on Soi 78, on the left virtually as soon as you turn into the soi from Petchkasem - you can't miss it. It's a lovely leafy garden restaurant, run by a very friendly family, and the food is great. I guess it...

That's a real shame and a big loss - particularly to this thread where Dr Mike's contributions have been really informative and useful. He was lovely to meet at the hospital and also helped me out via email. Just in case he happens to read this thread again - Dr Mike, I'd like to wish you all the be...

Just done a border crossing in the north, no notices like the above, but there were indeed many extremely tight and wobbly sleeveless tops/vests - quite a sight - and all male :shock: The general line up did seem very different to when I've come in at the airport though - far more 'real' to put it n...

For me, it's a bar district - most definitely.

[quote="fabman"] i was then asked all sorts of nasty questions and given filthy looks by the middle aged english women officer ( did i meet my wife in a bar , am i a sex tourist and some worse questions which i wont repeat ) i know they have to do these checks now and again but some of the...
