I think they serve the afternoon tea....after that whatever you don't eat is not offered to other customers. It is classed as "used".
Anyway, looks delicious, have not been there myself
You're right Siani. I remember many years ago going to a tea shop and the waitress looked at what you'd eaten and billed you accordingly. Health and safety certainly wouldn't allow that these days.
Interesting read, as I'm thinking of moving the other way.....any advice would be great....looking for a place near to town.....suggestions please.....without the dogs!
As a seafarer since I was 16 and now 55 I have never really 'lived' anywhere constantly rather spending four to six months a year not on a ship. My first ten years after marrying a Thai were in Hua Hin and I took my family back to the UK not just so the kids could get a good cheap education but also because I was getting frustrated for a few of GLC's reasons. Roll on another twelve years and with the kids old enough to look after themselves I returned and have been back for the last four years of 'not on a ship' time. Most of the things that drove me away have not fundamentally changed but I found that on reflection I prefer to spend my off time in Thailand predominantly as I hated the UK weather (hayfever in summer and drizzly rain most of the time, the occasional snow in Southampton but generally dull). When I returned without the kids I loved being able to relax but more importantly was ready for the negative aspects and more than ready for the positives, most of which have already been mentioned.
Who knows, perhaps in a few years GLC will want to return having got fed up with the way the UK is going but for now it is probably the best thing he can do as it certainly sounds like he needs a change for a while and I wish him the best of luck.
^^ agree!
I do 2 months UK, 3 months Thailand. Most of the people that make a success of living here at a younger age seem to do something similar. I swapped my house with a friend who tried to retire at 42 and became what he called "Thai-erd". I'm looking forward to retiring in 2 years after visiting for 20 + years. My only worry is HH has spread so much and is swallowing up where I live at Mon Mai. I might end up moving further away to Prechaub KK, but at the moment it's too quiet.
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!

Not really, it was just pointing out that he is in fact moving to a nice town.
No different from someone moving from the UK and a forum member pointing out the highlights say.........the bars in HH
