Re: Soi 94 resurfacing work
I rode down 94 today, & thought what an absolute mess, what a farce this whole project has been, it's now muddy, there's (what seems like) an abandoned digger there, & soil backfill the whole length..This has been going on for almost a full year now..it seems like every corner of Hua Hin fro...

Re: Menu/food prices rising in Thailand
Was on my way along the railway Rd to have a late lunch at Esan Ban Suan when I spotted 'Friendly Bar & Bistro' just before it..So we stopped & went inside. Both my lady & myself instantly got a bad feeling about the place when a]..They never turned the music volume down when we sat at o...

Re: Bars and nightlife in Soi 94
OK..The news on the street (via Soi 94 bar owners) is that Wonderland IS gonna be flattened & the 'Stumble Inn' going up on the site. Linked to this is a big new ownership deal that sees a BIG block of land from 94 along the railway Rd up to & including the Maldives bar complex been bought u...

Re: Cost of medications
I myself needed a month's worth of Rivaroxaban last year, so I went round 4 or 5 chemists in town and the price was the same..about 4500b per 30 tablet box (20mg)..& each chemist would not split a box & sell you strips individually. Now..because I get these free on the UK's NHS.. last week I...

Re: New Pavements in Hua Hin
I visited the new folly (sorry) prestigious railway station at the end of last year, & imagined I had to get into the building from the roadside car park..My thoughts/findings mirrored what B.B.has just reported above..Ludicrous to say the least!

Re: Bars and nightlife in Soi 94
A coupla things I've learnt recently... One is that the whole area from next to the 7/11 at the 94 road junction thru' to the Maldives bar complex has been bought up by a developer from BKK (I believe this land is/was owned by the 'Sakura' family..who had restaurants either side of the road at the r...

Re: Noise, power, and scams topped Thailand complaints list last year
All those years of running that little bar on Binta quickly made me realise that once a Thai lady is running a bar that her Farang bf/husband is funding, she almost instantly gets the guys from the audio suppliers to fit the biggest speakers they have in the store..Then hook them up to an amp/P.A. s...

Re: Is Wonderland still worth a visit ?
Was in there last night, & it was quite busy with middle-aged customers. Not to much eye-candy floating about in there tho'. Stayed for 2 drinks then moved on...IMO 94 is still very much hit & miss, so many bars have little or no customers. Maldives was quiet also the other night..there's mo...

Re: Car Painting
OK..Here's my suggestion .. Firstly I,ve forgotten the guy's name..Could be 'Pong'. So you're gonna drive up the Pala U Road, go past Big C supermarket, & keep going till you see the right hand turning for the temple/dog shelter/elephant sanctuary.. DO NOT turn into this road..But turn immediate...

Re: Chips, French Fries, Fried Potatoes, etc.
Talking of CHIPS (Before the yuppies/wokes decided they should be called/labelled 'French Fries'}..Who remembers the tatty, junk-filled place that was the opposite side of the small Soi where Buff Bills used to be (the site became Burger King).. Well at midnight we'd send a coupla girls out of our b...
