Hua Hin Forum

I think you are right Pete, I don’t think the US even recognizes the name Myanmar.

I’ve never had a problem around Hua Hin, but I’m getting a bit fed up of being stopped in Bangkok for invented offences; it’s one thing to pay for something you have done, but quite another to be stopped for nothing. I used to get the same behaviour from the police when driving in Jakarta, the...

Understudy, I just hope that if the Junta has decided to put a stop to this present demonstration they try to physically stop the monks from leaving the temple rather than letting a demonstration begin and then shooting at it with large loss of life, like last time.

It is beginning to look like things could reach a confrontation if the monks try to repeat their protest tomorrow, (in Myanmar, not Burma) as the military moved into the area around the Sule Pagoda following today’s demonstration. It has also been reported that Aung San Suu Kyi was moved to a pris...

Sanctions rarely achieve anything except making the general population suffer. Cuba has been subject to trade embargoes and sanctions since 1960 and Castro is still in charge, in fact I think he is the longest reigning world leader!

I tried riding my partner’s brothers Yamaha Mio on un-made roads in Issan during the rainy season. The thing was about as directionally stable as a pissed snake!

Some of my Irish colleagues used to play the International version with Australians in a league in Germany. I think it must be a very stressful sport because they used to drink a lot after the games!

After reading this thread I’m left feeling a bit confused at how I’ve been managing to get round corners on the Honda Wave; I just point the front wheel in the same direction as the road!

The only reservation I would have about Malaysia would be the fact that it’s largely Muslim. The ultimate reason that I moved out of Indonesia was because it was getting more radical and anti-western by the day, and I can see Malaysia going the same way. When the local god-squad turn up and smash ...

BG, you used to be able to buy these for the big old Nokia phones; they fitted between the phone and the battery. I haven’t seen one for any of the more modern phones, but you could try the top floor of market village, they were never an official accessory, you used to get them at the sort of plac...
