Re: Oil Slick puts Hua Hin Beach at it's dirtiest ever ?

I went down to the beach at the Sofitel late morning today after the attempted cleanup and managed about 100 metres south before turning back due to my feet being caked in oil. It's going to take a massive increase both in labour force and machinery terms in order to remedy the situation.This mornin...

Re: Golf Rules - Questions and Answers

I had a new experience yesterday during a round on a brief trip back to the UK when my ball went 9 inches into a rabbit hole in a bunker protecting the green. In a friendly match where neither of us were sure of the rule I was allowed to retrieve the ball and drop it back into the hole without penal...

Re: Medical Checkup @ Bangkok Hospital, Bangkok

BH in Hua hin does do a range of full check ups similar but not identical to Bum in BKK. I have had them done at both places and preferred the service in HH due to the fewer number of people having a check up at the same time and a feeling of a more personal service from all involved. I did however ...
