Commercial fishing ban begins in Prachuap
Just spotted this in the Bkk post. It seems it's starting tomorrow. The report implies Hua Hin district is included, but it's not 100% clear. Either way, much of the coast immediately south of Hua Hin is. it might have a big impact on local eateries, markets and the like. It also implies that the ba...

Re: Noise, power, and scams topped Thailand complaints list last year
That sounds similar to most funerals anywhere in Thailand, but what about the 100 day party? That is when things tend to go loopy. I attended one after Pams brother died in an accident. It was held at the home / business the deceased shared with his wife, in the centre of Khon Kaen. It started with...

Re: Noise, power, and scams topped Thailand complaints list last year
I don't honestly think you can compare a town or city with a small isaan village, where everyone is involved and there is no escape. When my other halfs father died 3 years ago, in Khon Kaen, the only noisy part was the exhilerating Chinese ceremony, that I took part in, that took place in front of ...

Re: The 90 Day Report Thread
I had an interesting one recently. I was going to be away for when my 90 day report was due, so thinking I had seen a post on here saying they had applied on-line in advance of their actual first application date, I did the same and got rejected, with a note in the reply, saying something like, 'nau...

Re: English Chinese Food in Hua Hin
I've at last found an English Chinese food place that ticks all of the boxes for my personal taste buds. I'm not talking gourmet food, I'm talking Chinese Take-Away standard, that you used to find on many street corners in the UK. Be interesting to learn where you tried before, because the food you...

Go back to the posts on 3rd Feb. It has been officially announced.HarryVardon wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2025 1:22 pm The last few posts seem to assume that it will change to Big C Marché or no Marché. Is this definite or is it still assumptions?

Re: Gourmet Market @ BluPort
Unfortunately your analysis is almost completely incorrect. They won’t be competing with Lotus as the new store will have products similar to the current one. It’s not a ‘normal’ Big C as I have already stated I hope you're right. I would prefer something better than Lotus, which I personally find ...

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income
I admire anyone being able to get throught to the HMRC help line. I have yet to succeed on other matters. And recently MP's accused them of deliberately not responding to calls, so that people will email them instead. For that, you will receive a notice to expect a delay in replies. My email about m...

Re: Gourmet Market @ BluPort
Oh ye of little faith! You should have listened to your uncle caller. :D I mentioned to a friend of mine the other week, that Big C it was, but he then surprised me by telling me that the one on the Palu-U road had just been upgraded and enlarged, so that threw me. I've only ever been there once! Th...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread
I was riding shotgun, and the technology was blowing my mind. The most impressive feature to me was everytime we changed lanes, as he indicated, the dashboard became a cinema screen showing him the road in front, beside him and behind him. No blind spots on that baby. The worst feature to me was a ...

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income
Is this a case of one person making up her own interpretation as so often happens here? Don't think so. Certification or notorisation is often a requirement to prove a document or signature is genuine. That must be in the small print, as it doesn't say that in the documement Pete introduced. I gues...
