Re: Book Hotels how far ahead?

I usually book on Agoda, I have found that sorting hotels by their cancellation policy is best. I book hotels in Bangkok, Pattaya and Hua Hin for every trip to Thailand. There are some hotels that let you cancel last minute which I prefer. The price might be a few dollars more each night but having ...

Re: Som tam 5th on Lonely Planet's top 10 best dishes

Yes som tam is definitely more available and popular than mango salad. I order mine with no sugar or those horrible little dried shrimp that get stuck between the teeth!

Re: Grab Coming to Hua Hin

Uber no longer in Thailand. If Grab rates in HH, will be like Krung Thep, then you won't notice much difference. May even start to appreciate what you have already. From elsewhere: https://s14.postimg.cc/usj2agwpd/Capture.jpg Where did you hear Uber is no longer in Thailand ? I just used them a few...

FYI, when anyone uses the phrase "guest friendly" they are talking about taking a bar girl back to the room.

Re: Hilton hotel

Is the hilton guest friendly I don't believe it is no. I often played squash there years ago and the guy that works there told me a few times that unless you are super sneaky, they are going to know about you bringing a girl back and charge you a fee unless you book the room for 2 and give her pass...

Re: Time of day for easiest journey BKK/HH (also back)?

I should have perhaps also mentioned that I live in soi 6 HH and therefore do not need to face any traffic in HH either. As for rush hour in Cha Am, as hhinner says "what rush hour?" What I mean't was just depending on what time of day you are going through Cha Am there can be a bottlenec...

Re: Time of day for easiest journey BKK/HH (also back)?

I drive regularly (weekends) between the two as I work and live BKK in the working week and. Live HH weekends Already you have the best advice I leave BKK around 15:00 on a Friday and can be in HH between 17:30 and 18:00. Traffic and road works dictate I return to BKK on Monday morning 03:30 -04:00...

Unless she made this money last night and she was going back home. What on earth does it have to do with anyone why she had 7k on her, that is $199 do...

Re: Vicious Thai gangs at Songkran

This is such a horrible story, I would expect to see this in Pattaya, but Hua Hin is far from Pattaya in my eyes. I would never expect to hear a story like this and its really quite sad. I consider Hua Hin my second home and love it but can't believe teenagers would be doing this, so pathetic...

Re: Muslim curry

Yes the one and only big shopping mall In Hua Hin. Market Village, just head to the lowest level where the food court is. The lady has her own stall at one end of the food court that's closest to where the motorcycles all park.
