Hua Hin Forum

Being in " holiday-mode " is a strange and surreal place in the mind. It often speaks to the inner self something along the lines of: " ... I'm paying through the nose, I'm away from home and friends to watch me, I'm obviously richer than the locals, my money's good, I'm paying throug...

The Ecosse Guesthouse is one of the places I was looking at as the base for my condo hunting next December (found it here on this Board). The photos on the website look rather cozy ( don't they all?? :D ) and the location's fine. But ... do they have rooms which include private hong nam? There'a a s...

You won't be disappointed I'm sure.

When I re-read that old post I realize there is one "direction" mistake in there (having been back there now a few times) . . . it's more like 10 kilometers north of HH, not the 25 kilometers mentioned in the pasted link story.

I thought this old post of mine on a Board (now archived and non-interactive) I used to belong to might be interesting to new Hua Hin residents or tourists looking for short hops or half-day trips around the environs of Hua Hin and Cha Am. Probably most of the long term folks here have been to Maruk...

<bugger on> Another moaning old twat who decides to blame the forum, where in this thread have any HHAD moderators mentioned sponsors or edited posts?

" ... I'm surprised that money seems to be an issue, but you totally discounted my previous suggestion: you'd be better staying for one or two nights in the guest house, and then taking up short term rental (one month) of one of the houses in that soi. It has to work out cheaper, and you'd hav...

" ... Smiles if u stay in the Sofitel 1st for a few days, there is a place right across from the main entrance called the Hua Hin Suites. If you stay in the Hua Hin Suites, you can normally walk straight through the Sofitel gates and most times get to use all of the Sofitel facilities, just ma...

Thanks, I hope some folks know about this. I was there last April and ~ naturally! ~ wasn't thinking that far ahead as to bother taking down their names, or getting a business card. Certainly there are a lot of guesthouses in Hua Hin (we've stayed in a few) so the accomodation will not, in the end, ...

After visiting Hua Hin many times over the last few years we've decided to make it our home for the foreseeable future, beginning in late November 07. Our plans are to rent cheap accomodations while apt/condo/townhouse (?) hunting, but having no idea of availability during what is surely the early p...
