Hua Hin Forum

Interesting answers for a subject I am interested in as I want to retire as soon as possible. If I don't open a business or get a part time job then judging by the cost of living if I have £200k in an offshore tax free account earning 4.5% I would net £9k a year or 50,000 Baht a ...

Thanks for replies. Buksida : Yes I am interested in your story. Read the other thread now, I was in Vietnam for most of June and missed that one but useful. Miked : Think you misunderstood the Q. I wasn't touting for ideas, I was asking if a Farang running a business was viable. Judging by the repl...

There was plenty of useful comments and debate on renting or buying property in Thailand so why doesn't anyone want to comment on the pros and cons of running a business in Thailand ??

I just need some advice from people with experience of doing it.

Thanks.

Hi All Looking for some advice on 'retiring' to Thailand/Hua Hin. I have been there 6 times in 2 years and rented a house for a while on the Soi alongside Grand Hotel. Currently working in Saudi, early 40's, so not yet saved a fortune. The threads on cost of living were useful, thanks to all posted ...

I have rented one myself there for 6 months to end of Feb. It had aircon in bed and living room, furnished and the plus for me was it had a huge balcony.

I have taken the coach from Southern bus station which is 128 Baht but takes over 4 hours. I now take a taxi for around 2000 Baht at the airport which still ta...

I have been looking for a base in Thailand and came to Hua Hin 3 times in the last 12 months and picked up the HH Observer in the hotel I stayed at. Can't say I've noticed posters in Bars although usually only go in Romantic Bar down Bintabaht. Only joined recently because I have now rented a house ...

On my last visit in June I walked down the 2 Soi's that form a U at the bottom of the Soi where the Grand Hotel is and there were approx 10 2 bed town houses for rent at 10,000 a month. I haggled and got one for 8,000. I thought this was reasonable ? I have paid 6 months upfront and will be living t...

I stayed there in May and Feb this year and paid 600 per night for a 2 week stay. Rooms have fridge and tv and double bed but no balcony. staff very friendly. Hope this helps ? P...
