Hear very little about the Southern strife in Aus unless it's something major.The bombings in Bangkok were widely reported.The only reason we know anything about the trouble is because I quite often read the Bangkok Post and the wife watches Thai Global Network on the TV. :cheers:

It's mostly made up of Thai people. :wink: And a few years back so was Hua Hin.Can't remember the year I first visited but it must have been in the late 80's or early 90's.There was only one bar and that had only just opened.Visited about 4 years ago and ...

This is one of the very few things that I don't really like about Thailand, that is,their apparent complete disregard for wildlife.What is the point in trying to keep a Bear for a pet?.They put animals in cages without any thought for the animals welfare-the cage is usually too small,reptiles just a...

When we were in Thailand last January went past Utapo and saw a couple of civilan aircraft on the tarmac.Think one may have been Russian.Is this also an International Airport?

Sukhumvit Bars

Bar Closing times

Good day all. I was last in the Kingdom 12 months ago and all the talk then was that all bars,apart from those in Pattaya and Patong,would only open for a couple of hours at lunch time and then reopen between the hours of 6pm and Midnight.Did this happen or was it just usual Thai politics? Also,I'm ...
