Re: Thai people's awareness of others

All the above had me chuckling. I've grown accustomed to them and now just smile. How about these though. 1. Never turning up on time? I now call their bluff. If they don't turn up on time, I move on and forget about them or, if it's workmen coming to my house, I go out. They then complain to the de...

Re: British Embassy Income Letter

I said that I would update on getting the income letter by post. It was an easy exercise. The young girl at the Post Office was very efficient and filled the money order out for me. She asked if it was going to the British Embassy before I mentioned it so it wasn't the first time she'd dealt with t...

Tobacco

I'm having to bite the bullet and take wild stab in the dark with this cheeky request.

If anyone is leaving the country soon (especially staging via Dubai) would it be possible to bring me some tobacco back? I will even pay up front if necessary.

Re: British Embassy Income Letter

I'm in no rush to do the extension (in fact I can't because still over 30 days away) and I'll pop into PO when it opens at 8.30am one day. Let me know how you go on please Lomu.

Ice Packs

Folks,

Me and the wife are really struggling to find Ice Packs. The blue sort you put in a cool box to be able to keep things cooler for longer. We've found plenty of cool boxes at various places but no ice packs. It's driving me nuts.

Anyone know where you can get these in Hua Hin...???

Re: Restaurant Phillipe

Regarding the quality of food at Phillippe's restaurant, this place is one of the best restaurants in Hua Hin, if you not satisfied with the served food, just tell the owner and he'll serve you a new dish to your likings. We eat there regularly and are always impressed with the food they serve us, ...
