Hua Hin Yellow Pages

Post by hhfarang »

How about a permanent thread for services in Hua Hin? Every time something breaks around the house I find myself in a panic trying to find a trusted repair person (or any repair person) without a yellow pages like we had back home.

It should not be a free for all but maybe the admins could keep it organized with thread topics like "Electricians", "Plumbers", "A/C Repair", etc., and contain not adverts but recommendations of service technicians that have been used and are trusted by forum members. If something like this got going and got continuous input it would be very useful for newcomers to Hua Hin and us veterans as well as shops/people go in and out of business all the time.

Thanks for your consideration of this! :thumb:

There are already a number of listings on the Hua Hin Business Directory: www.hhbd.net

However something with a more personal touch may not be a bad idea.

Thanks for the answer Lev. I did check the business directory and those are adverts rather than recommendations, plus I didn't find any listing for people like my example (electricians, plumbers, A/C repairs).

I have a broken water pump right now that is somewhat of an emergency and I have a thread under "Ask the Expats" about it but it would be so much easier to just go onto an existing thread and grab the number of the latest recommended plumber rather than waiting for a useful answer that may or may not come.

I know most people who have lived here for a while have a few trusted service people in at least some areas of repair that they have had experience with and it would be very helpful for me to be able to draw from their experience easily. I know I have a few I could post immediately.

Thanks again.
