Re: Magic Balloon Park Open

I went there early in the afternoon and of course they were not flying at that time. There is also a BBQ and buffet every Friday and Saturday from 3.30 till 6 pm for 179 baht. If it is as good as the surroundings it will be well worth trying. As for flying the thing I am willing to have go. If there...

Re: Magic Balloon Park Open

I went to have a look a few days ago and I was quite impressed. There is a nice playground for kids, the restaurant facility's are very good inside and out. Nice and tidy. The food and beer prices very reasonable and even Singha on tap. The park is owned by a Russian guy ( Konstantin ) who was there...

Re: Greetings from Oz.

Hello Swanboy West Australian by the looks? If you are, you would like to see Nick O'Hern to win a big one. He would have to be one of the nicest human beings I ever met. That might not happen, so I suppose Adam Scott's victory is sweet. Nothing wrong with him either. Great golf here, forget the fis...

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2013

It has not died, that' for sure. It is the most watched non sporting event in the world. Up to 600 million people watch it all over the world. So I am not alone. It launched the careers of Julio Iglesias, Abba and Celine Dion. So there is some talent every ten years or so. It can get very boring (3....

Eurovision Song Contest 2013

It's on this weekend. Wonder if anybody knows whether it can be watched here in Hua Hin. Most likely not live but maybe in some time after the event . I know most songs are crap, but it's still good fun to watch. Expat tv perhaps ??

Re: Cataracts

I agree to your comments 100% HHtel. Dr. Pairat is a very professional eye specialist. I had my left eye operated in Oz in similar fashion and the results are the same. The after care here is even better than in Australia. Indeed, there is need to go to Bangkok. Surely the results cannot be any bett...

Re: Hello all

Dannie Boy. Thank you for your nice thoughts. I have been here now for more than four months and life here can be a bit boring at times. I have a lovely Thai wife who keeps me out of trouble most of the time. I did bring my golf clubs here but it's a bit too hot to play I think. Also my golfing skil...

Re: Hello all

Ok. I think we are on the same ballpark now. I have never intentionally tried to offend anybody and if I have done it now, I am sorry.
Also I am quite sane, but bored. That was the reason why I joined this forum. After working all my life,retirement can become a pain in the butt.
Have a good day

Re: Hello all

Thank you for your kind welcome. Being named insane and mad after two posts must be a record for this forum. Should have asked about the cost of living or the best restaurants in Hua Hin. That would have been sane and interesting. Right?
I have to go now and wipe the tears of my face.

Re: Hello all

Mad Max indeed. I tried it but it was taken. In my short time here I have met one forum member already. I had a cataract surgery by Dr Pairat. He operated on three people on Saturday a few weeks back. Myself, another farang and a monk. HHtell was either the farang (my first thought), or the monk. If...

Hello all

Finally arrived to my final destination,so to speak.
In other words I have retired and moved to Hua Hin. I've been reading this forum in Oz for a few years now and it has been very handy for my activities since arriving here. Thank you all.
