If you're talking value for money golf, I think that Kanchanaburi beats Hua Hin hands down, as a matter of fact BKK does too but sometimes there's more than golf to consider particularly if you have a companion.

PH does have a nice clubhouse and rec facilities with tennis, squash, badminton courts, small gym and a pool. Not sure that either BM or Banyan will ever have all those...Tennis at Banyan, some kind of pools at BM and Banyan but that's probably it. BM has the nicest golf practice facilties of them a...

I guess there's a little bit of truth in what everyone is saying and a whole lot of guessing. I agree that some prices have been going down. Politics and the economy are obvious reasons. When prices are down, there is a potential for them to go up and Hua Hin is a good place for tourism so in the lo...

I've also looked at property with a similar outlook as the OP and I was very enthusiastic about PH until I played the course. If you are keen golfers, I can't imagine that you would enjoy playing this course most days. I thought it was one of the most boring courses I've ever played. On the other ha...

1500Baht at Black Mountain isn't a bad deal. Right now, you can also stay at the Imperial Hua Hin for 1799 including golf, caddy and cart. Hopefully August will bring back the 800 Baht golf promotions... I think these are decent deals. It would be nice to see summer memberships though. You won't get...

Once again, things don't quite add up... A 6'4" tower of fitness who was a soldier in vietnam, managed to do drugs, be in a gang, have a family, house and white picket fence and work for nearly 50 years... By my calculation, that means that he would have started working around 1960... then some...

If you wonder why people are disrespectful, look at your posts. One day you say one thing, the next day you say a different one and you don't even have the balls to stand behind what you said before. There's not one person on this board that didn't know what you meant when you trumpeted your height/...

As usual getting all excited over nothing. I merely kept all possibilities opened and California is a lot more liberal that say Utah or Arkansas when it comes to sexuality.

If you think it insulting then so be it. Couldn't care less which way you're swinging, I only hope you get a life...

Can someone find the man a girlfriend(or boyfriend or maybe both since he's from California) so that he has something else to do besides trolling on this board?

Dude you sound like a 14 yo adolescent girl... can't make up your mind on anything, has to respond to every little thing, needs to brag about his size and threaten to try to prove his manhood(that would be the 14 yo boy trying to get out there) No wonder you are in therapy and you want to escape.

I like Majestic and would play there if the green fee was around 1000Baht during the high season. Otherwise, why go twice the distance to play a course that is half as well maintained as Black Mountain for the same price? I think it's one of the nicest local layout and much better that a place like ...
