And the Hits just keep on coming!

Post by bonnielass »

Really excited about coming to Hua Hin with my four girlfriends for a holiday in April, some of them first timers to LOS.

So far we can look forward to: Dengue Fever, Power Blackouts, ATM and Money Exchange Scammers and a crashing Pound.

Bring it on ....................

Look on the bright side, bonnielass, there's all those sexy farang males hobbling around Bintabaht for you to prey on... :laugh:

On a (semi-)serious note, I sincerely hope you'll all be making up a team for JW's April quiz!

dtaai-maai - I would love to take part in JWs quiz, can you imagine an all female team winning? There'd be a few bruised male egos around that night! Alas, the quiz is normally held first week of the month and we don't arrive until after Songkran. Maybe Johhnie might postpone it due to the holiday.....

As for Bintabaht, I must have been drunk that night cos' I never saw any sexy farangs there....
Not sure we could, or indeed, would want to compete with the young nubile beauties :rasta:

Dont mind if the lights go out, as long as the beer's cold. :cheers:

No, I think the only regular thing about the quiz these days is that it's on a Thursday, so watch out for the date and get ready to bruise some egos! :cheers:

I know, but we keep going back so it's not that bad; I'm working in Europe at the moment trying my best to earn enough to get back to my home in Hua Hin for a few weeks soon and it's not in the hope of catching Dengue!

Despite the risks... and all countries have them... I wouldn't want to be anywhere else and I've been here 7 years.

Several dozen customers said they got sick after they ate at Danish restaurant named one of the world’s best.

Twelve dinner paries over a four-day period suffered vomiting and diarrhea, Bloomberg said, citing the national health inspection agency. Staff also said they experienced illness.
Noma also failed to respond to e-mails from customers and staff complaining of illness in a timely enough manner, the agency said.
“We acknowledge that the internal procedures haven’t been good enough and because of busyness, employees didn’t check e-mails,” Noma said, according to Bloomberg.
Restaurant manager Peter Kreiner told The Associated Press they are trying to locate where there infection came from.
Bjorn Wirlander, the head of the Danish food agency, told the Financial Times that “a cocktail of different noroviruses” affected staff and customers. The illness was brought in by an employee.
Inspectors also that there was poor hand hygiene among staff members and one kitchen sink lacked hot water, the Times reported.
Last April, Noma was named the world’s best restaurant for a third straight year by “Restaurant” magazine.

We appear to have forgotten the dreadful weekend traffic, the heat and humidity that accompany Songkran, the tea tax for the MIB, the tailors that treat you as a long lost friend, even that you passed them in the opposite direction, not 5 minutes since. :D :D
For all that, I still love it here :D

I really don't understand what that article has to do with Thailand.
Sometimes I wonder which is weirder, the Thai's or the foreigners living in Thailand. Thailand is an extremely bizarre place/country.

Some very interesting comments in response to my OP.
I agree with you all, in spite of everything, Hua Hin is still a great place to stay.
Only wish I could retire there today.

By the way - I drive daily in Dubai and the headbangers here make Thai drivers look like sweet little old ladies. :banghead:

maybee its a comparison to your generalization about thai food that the worlds best restaurent is unhygenic to so people get sick.
I would eat at restaurent in thailand at any time as i think the food is much more fresh.

And yes we are many weird farrang ,but i'm sure your'e not one off them so don't you worry.
