Re: Binthabat/karaoke Areas

Folk are very quick to knock Binta's bar owners for charging 100b for small beers, but when the greedy landlords/landladies are hiking up your rent/key-money every damn year, the bars have no option but to charge these prices. Yes Soi 80 has cheaper beer etc because many own the bar, or are still pa...

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

I have as yet not heard any confirmation about the UK's NHS issuing any form of 'Vaccine Passport'..In fact quite the reverse.. all the reports I've read say there will be no passports issued! So where does that leave UK tourists wishing to visit Thailand? Are there any other 'Western; nations that ...

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

PeteC mentioned that for many Europeans when it comes to their next holiday they may well look closer to home.. Spain for example. I know a couple who ran a good bar on Menorca, and they said prior to the Covid outbreak... Spain (& it's islands) had record tourist figures 6 years running because...

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

So international flights are down 99.1%.. I've just had my 1st vaccine here in the UK (along with 1000's of other folk here this week)..But I've to now wait 3 months before I get the 2nd jab. Now if this is roughly the scene over Europe in general, then the likely-hood of any large numbers of holida...

Re: BKP Soi 88 food market and Chang!

Do not like the Chang beer nowadays..Reminds me taste-wise of the cheap stubbies brought over the Channel from Calais in the 80's. If NOKYAI's cunning plan concerning buying Leo's at the 7/11 then drinking it there at BKP continues then yes, I may well continue to go. Tan-Diow (Big C Plaza) could do...

Re: Hua Hin airport due for upgrade

Years ago (about 20) Many of us used to get the early Bangkok Airways flight out of D.M. to H.H, The plane was on it's way to Samui, so a quick touchdown, then off again was good practice seen as it would have been flying over H.H. anyway en-route. These flights were all thru the day. BUT..H.H. airp...

Re: Tom's travels - Hua Hin after dark

A Mamasan in a bar down the 'Back Soi' (The one behind/running parallel to Binta) would have a trick/scam to boost her takings every so often.. ...If, late in the evening, and things were quiet...If a tourist came in looking slightly the worse for wear the girls would try make him comfortable, then ...

Re: Where to buy best lawn turf in HH

The only place I know of..It's only a small place, but have been trading a long time. OK..Pala U Rd..Go up over the hill, and carry on till you see the 'Artist Village' on your right... ..The small open-fronted stall is somewhere opposite (on your side of the road as you leave town)...You should see...

Re: Tom's travels - Hua Hin after dark

Cheeky Dog Pizza at Ban Khun Por DOES have a sign (that Nok Yai reliably informs me) Saying 'We offer the thinnest pizzas'
Now I only ever eat thick pizzas, and to me Cheeky Dog's offerings are good value at 100b

Re: Chomsin Road oversized songthaews

They go all the way past Nong Plub on the Pala U Rd..They have a terminus about 5km further on, but from there you CAN get as far as Pala U village.

Re: Happy Christmas

Belated Xmas greetings to you U.T. Most bars on 80 last night had parties going on, with the B/Gs having secret stashes of Sangsom+soda under the Xmas tress...I'm sure Santa would have approved..555 :cheers: :cheers:
