Re: Which Hua Hin Area Attraction Is Your Number 1

The vineyard was always a regular place for me to take visitors, but I stopped when they announced a parking fee. I know you can get it back when you purchase food, but I can't always manage that much food. Its not really a parking fee, because as you say, the cost is deducted from the price of the...

Re: Which Hua Hin Area Attraction Is Your Number 1

I dont have so many visitors that a No.1 can be determined. As Steve said, a trip down the coast is always popular, on one occasion, as far as to the temple at Ban Krut. I always suggest PKK area as it is so lovely, but generally it is to the Sam Roi Yot area and beach, lunch somewhere, then a drive...

Re: Thailand News Summary

Theres mention of a video of the incident, which according to a poster on the BP, paints a different picture. With the gun seemingly going off in the policemans hands all alone, and then the claim, they basically disarmed him, removed the ammunition from the gun and then waited for the police to arr...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Was it bad, I am in Bkk and left some plants out that really should be under cover if it was. I could ask someone to check for me, if yes. Thanks

Re: The Beer Thread 2

Is it actually open yet? Or is this just pre-opening spiel? Last time I looked in Bluport, it didn't even look like any work had been done. They are in Bkk as well. Anywhere selling a better selection of ales has to be welcomed. It's just keeping up with a new trend in Bkk malls of craft beers being...

Re: Campers, Camping and/or a Van?

Some of the high end Malls in Bangkok now have camping shops. There are two in the newly opened Emsphere. I was looking at them earlier. I wouldnt bother if you're on a budget! There used to be one in Bluport as well.

We already know that Thailand has a law for everything, but they just aren't enforced. Therefore, it surely is a fact, but not enforced.
So you are stating the law does state foreigners cannot carry passengers?

Re: Mustard

Australias Masterfoods Hot English mustard is now my go to choice. We had this conversation before, but Colmans from a jar here, just doesn't seem as hot as I remember it from the UK. Maybe because I eat so much hot, spicy food here, that it's taste is diminished. But when a kid, mustards in a jar d...

Re: Thai law prohibits foreigners from driving passengers.

The good bit is it seems to be restricted to the Phuket/Surat Thani areas at the moment That's because they set up a special task force in those areas to deal with the problem. The locals have been hopping mad about this for some time, claming foreigners working is affecting their own work/inccome....

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

At what price though? Government subsidies in China are "significant" to say the least and then you have the import duties in Thailand. I understand BYD are planning on building a plant in Thailand, but assume it hasn't happened yet. Import duties are waived on EVs into Thailand, from Chi...

Re: Songkran to become 1 month festival

Im a bit confused about the extended songkran. As people still have to work, I am assuming the vast majority of Thai's will carry on as normal. A few days off, local noodle shops close, travel home and back again and then back to work. Local noodle shops re-open. So it will, for the majority, be all...
