How is Buckley Bar doing?

When I left Hua Hin in December 2018, Buckley Bar was about to open on the corner where Tropical massage shop was, opposite El Murphys. How is it doing, one year on? I think it was going to be run as a bar with occasional ladies available rather than a full on girlie bar. Interestingly, Walking St i...

Re: Train Chumphon to Hua Hin

Just a word of warning, Thai Trains can run way behind schedule on a regular basis, and the northbound trains can be early morning ones.

Re: Bang Sue Mega Station

Aren't they constructing a new railway on columns similar to the Bangkok Skytrain but not quite so high? Maybe there is going to be the current railway at ground level and the new set up on the columns above the present tracks. After travelling by train often in Thailand, i consider 160kph High Spee...

Re: Limelight hotel and guesthouse...still going?

I know there was a new owner moving in to Limelight ( A Scottish gent who supports Celtic), the previous owners were going on a cruise from Australia around now, I think they were keeping their condo near the airport but I am unable to confirm their plans regarding Cambodia or Vietnam.

For those of you who know him, he certainly lived life to the full, always full on and with a big laugh. I used to get tired just watching him dash around,he had ...

Re: Decent wine decent price in city bars

I am not a big wine drinker but my passed on friend was. He went to The Sailom Hotel everyday and had them trained to look after his wine. He oince told me that he bought South African wine as they had a trade agreement with Thailand so their wine wasn't taxed as much as wine from other countries. I...

Re: Hua Hin Bintabaht area nightlife map update

Well done for the updates.
I was sat in Tina bar about a week ago and looked across at the road sign on the post, bintaBAHT, a very apt name for the soi. :)

Re: Eastern Oriental Express

Thanks all, I think the iteneray is to leave Hualamphong around 5-6pm then arrive at Kanchanaburi by 8-9ish the next morning for all the various tours. Then it leaves Kanchanaburi about 1pm to 2ish to Nakon Pathom where the loco changes ends and starts it's journey south. That is why I guessed 5pm b...

Eastern Oriental Express

Do any BM's know the approximate time the above train comes through Hua Hin?
I think northbound it is probanly 4am ish, southbound I am guessing 5pm ish
I understand that Thai Railways times are not very reliable.
