'The waiting is over'

Post by **marsh** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 2:47 am

Hello There,
some of my observations in HH a few weeks back:

The subject heading is plastered over most tut-tuts advertising when
and where to buy a house or condo, with the usual 'Only four left'-- hurry
up crap!!

I noticed the house agents 'Hot Properties' and others running around in
massive 4x4s so, businesss is booming it would seem.

New bars opening and some closing why do people wish to be 'bar keeps'
in HH ?? ---and on the topic of bars:
There is about eight or so bars in the Poonsuk small moll area , all
fighting for custom, some the size of about two 'phone booths !!

I went to 'Crawfords' and the prices have risen and a new 'bar keep' I
see, and a happy hour at the ungodly time of 1pm to 5pm--right!!
'
'Bufflo Tavern' the price of ale is high there too (I had a small bottle
there)
Seems to be a lack of imaginagion in HH with a bar called 'No name bar'
and there is a coffee shop with a name 'Coffee shop next door'--plonker!

The new Irish Bar situated on the corner up and across from Lolitas,
same happy hour times as Crawfords and has only one Toilet, get a grip!!

'Jungle Juice' bar, I had Fish & chips there, terrible meal, with a portion
of fish the size of flattened ping pong ball, with one inch thick batter, urg!

'Celtic bar' with the bar girls blowing smoke in your face, lovely!!

Some signs on lamposts with 'Where are the police when you want them'
with someone complaining about the lack of police protection, whats that
all about ??

On Maresdamri road I saw a massage parlor sign with prices for waxing
--Half a leg--The mind boggles, but there was a Q of war vetrans
outside-------------right !!

Some lady Rickshaw workers in HH, now that is hard work and difficult
for a woman---well done !! I saw some lady tut-tut drivers too.

Too many people Not wearing crash helmets , and I just hate those
scoters creaping up on you at night.

The Thai eating place across from the 'Hagi' Japanese restuarant and
sits on the corner, great for eating and good Fish & Chips.

I just loved the 'Dog on the stool gimmic' with the sign on it's neck,
(sits justs opposite the Hilton) saying it's owner had ran away to England
or some other silly 'Give me money' excuse!

Tesco's and market village real good cheap food stuff and clothes etc.
I was well impressed .

The Airport:: nice clean place, well signed, good food outlets, great bars,
one 'Sports bar had Ten flat Screens for viewing.

What's with the night crawlers on their Black Shiney motor Bikes &
German look-a-like steel helmets ?? One even had a sidecar, grow up
little boys!!

One last observation, I'm sure I saw Randy C. on his bike and he looks
just like his Pic-----------------only 10--15 years older, sorry Randy!!

Hope to be back soon-----cya all

Marshy xx

You obviously had a great time in Hua Hin. Can I suggest somewhere better like Hawaii next time. I hear Richard Branson is doing some cheap flights.

Dear me, not really suited to LOS then are you Marsh?
FYI - a half leg wax is from the knee down. I just can't imagine though why such a service would create a Q of blokes?
Over to you Richard on the fish issue!

What dog on the stool? Has anyone else seen this?

As for the notices about the police, I saw a couple & had a chortle. Came back a couple of days later with my camera to take a photo to post & they'd gone!! *gasp!*

I wonder who'd have removed them???

Sounds like a great resort - I'm tempted. Do they cater for families and is the beach within walking distance?

Troll, naive tourist or a joker??????

I'm just wondering what a ride in a tut-tut is like? Is it a tuk tuk where the driver keeps turning round and telling you off for being naughty?

Lighten up!! It appears that living in HH can be hazardous to your sense of humor. I had a good LOL on the half leg waxing and Q of war vets.

sounds like a needed service :

I find most of Marshy's observations spot on. esp the happy hour hours, agents massive 4x4's, Poonsuk mall bars, "the waiting is over???" say what

oh delivery of municipal water is being improved??,
good and bad fush and chups, no helmets,

lets leave Randy out of this.

would suggest you do the preview before submitting your post, Marshy.
might make your delivery flow smoother

And must say WL hast lost sense of humor. a tut-tut tuk-tuk!!, classic definition.

Marshy - thought your post was amusing!

(Not to be taken seriously)

That advert "The Waiting Is Over" sucks and I cringe every time I read it, but what about this one to take the biscuit (from an unnamed condo project) "With the daily live musical performance of the mountain and the ever-ending echoes of the sleepless sea, practically from your porch, living here will make you feel like sitting in the box seats of the grand opera house".

Pass the sick bucket!

I agree. I find that advert on the back of every tuk-tuk particularly irksome. Like, what is the rest of Hua Hin. . .chopped liver?

It is fatuous and off-putting and even if I were in the market for real estate. which I am not, I wouldn't beat a path to their door.

'The wait is over' Vs 'wanna buy house or condo? '

start a poll

We all see them every day .Love them or hate them they stick in your mind .

Personal favourite this week that made me chuckle .A lighter from one of the bars that has a lot of female staff in school uniforms and a "vip room" upstairs with the slogan "you cant be first , but you can be next "

Beats "hello welcome" hands down IMO
