Re: Vietnam - Hanoi & Halong Bay

Yes, a 360 degree panoramic from the top. On a clear day, the best view in the bay.

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

OMG its started again!

I blame kendo - he's been here 2 days, and I'm sure he's brought it with him from the UK. Can we have a whip round to get him deported :wink:

Re: Bus from Pran Buri to Hua Hin

Yes, they are orange, but you might find it better to pick up a mini-bus for that short journey. I've never used either, but believe they are both very cheap.

Re: The Digital Surgery

Oh dear, I hope I haven't started a panic over the use of Avast :oops:

I still use it, and I'm generally happy with it. AFIK the only problem is streaming TV.
