Cricket Shown on TV. I didnt see anywhere that showed games earlier this year in HH.(refer to forum topic "cricket". If u know somewhere let us know pls.
No doubt there will be plenty of places showing the upcoming ashes tour in Australia later this year.
i'm just new to this site but i have been to hua hin three times and coming again soon.
i'd just like to add that there are good live bands in thailand but the venues are often mis matched to the band. see some good musos in the mid size bars and restaurants but they are so volume restricted they cant really play with any feel. then you go to the hilton which is a good looking venue but the bands are awful, they dont match the demographic of the audience. i notice on this site that the hilton gets a slagging in a few threads. i think they should spend a bit more and get some better quality bands.also the DJ is always a million decibels louder than the band and the sound mix of the band is a also awful!!..sorry guys!!
asia is one of the last regions of the world where there are still live bands as opposed ta plethora of wanky DJ's with silly hats on sideways playing music that is good for the kiddies bit not for grown adults with disposable income who still enjoy live music but can never really find it.ie: a great deal of the type of people who visit thailand!!
so my two bobs worth is.... better bands= better venues= better clients=better $$ through bums on seats...bums of the 30-50 year olds who still like to hear good live music, not rap tachno or grunge or at the other end of the spectrum, awful cabaret, show tunes type music.
i have also seen some excellent thai singers and musos in hua hin..but the sound is bad..its a shame, they just cant do themselve justice!!
Manners would be nice. A simple please and thank you costs nothing. In town this weekend at several venues you would expect the younger of us to be lacking in them ,the papers are full of stories about the younger generations lacking moral fibre and simple manners. But not the case here time after time it's "beer" and the waving of the thousand Baht note in the cashiers face. Seems that there is a large amount of miserable tourists in town are they jealous of the LOS or is this normal behavior in Europe these days
Now i tried to be sensible, i tried to be reasonable, i tried not to put anyone down in regards to there nationality, unfortunately this respect wasnt given its dues in my direction. To answer your question Jaime i wont be playing that so called card again.
What i would like to see in huahin is bars with better toilets and decent seats where you dont feel like you have got piles after sitting for 10 minutes also could do with a big bar/venue for live music dancing like the bamboo bar in pattaya where we could have a decent thai band not the pony music thats played in the hilton
