Hua Hin Forum

I’ve a strong suspicion that Kraka’s Dads original post linked ex-pat life in Hua Hin, Celtics progress in the European Championship, trolls and the survival mechanism of pond-dwellers in a deeply satirical way that I haven’t quite worked out yet.

Or you could try Hobie's plant shop half way to Pranburi!

Chas, bamboo is strangely hard to find around Hua Hin. I know this because my neighbour asked me the exact question last year when he wanted to build a garden shelter. I told him I would try to find him some as I drove around the area, but I couldn’t see any for sale anywhere. I can only surmise t...

I'd like to get get hold of more Conrad books.

I have one that includes Heart of Darkness and a collection of short stories that I'll try to remember to bring out next time; Lord Jim is the finest though, in my opinion.

An intriguing article about the Thai political situation from the Asia Times:http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_ ... 3Ae03.html

And what the hell is a Scotsman doing on a thread about sunloungers; you people are all blue; there isn't a sunlounger in the whole of Scotland; if you had'nt discovered Malaga you would think this thread was in Swahili!

I like rule 8 on that hotel sign-The Hotel has the right to limit a certain kinds of people- mentally sick, an outlaw guy or a drunk not to stay in a hotel.

On two occasions after a one hour wait I was meant by a motorcyclist and had to follow him to a rubbish tip that he p...

Guess, I’d forgotten about this until I read your post, but when I was down there last month the billboard that used to advertise the development had been replaced by another one just stating “land for saleâ€

BG, I remember someone posting a while back about a new development behind Market Village. I think it was more shopping and some residential property, is that possibly what you are seeing?

Brandon, I used to do a lot of Kayaking years ago at school and wouldn’t mind having another go at it. The only one’s I’ve seen around Hue Hin are the sit-on type and these seem a bit over priced for Thailand at 35,000 bt and upwards. A few weeks ago I was driving between Bangkok and Petchabur...

I struggled with this re-sizing issue for the first competition but have since found out that the camera is savvier than me, and can do it for you with two presses of a button. If anyone else is having problems with this, have a look at the camera menu, I had know idea that this function existed.

Have found that you need to be at most of the restaurants by 9 ish or the food and service are not very good. If anyone knows some good late restaurants ( any type of food) I would be grateful as we prefer to have a drink and then eat later, :cheers: Sam, some of the open fronted Thai restaurants o...

I think where everyone is having problems is that when you hit "send" you have to wait a bit if not on high speed. Then, the picture will appear in the sub-box where you just hit the "send" button. Then, you must click on "standard". Me thinks people miss this last &qu...

Slow Boats to China- now that’s a fine read that I’d forgotten about, I’m sure I have a copy of that somewhere, perhaps back in England, I will have to hunt it out. There was a sequel called Slow Boats Home that was also worth reading.
