Re: Traffic jams on Rama II Road blamed for Hua Hin's decline

Yes but it does connect back to the Hua Hin route and offers an alternative to Rama II.

Re: Traffic jams on Rama II Road blamed for Hua Hin's decline

Isn't the new M81 meant to be an alternative route now? Has anyone tried it? Time wise much difference? (I'm not over there at the moment, in Aus)

Re: Traffic jams on Rama II Road blamed for Hua Hin's decline

Took the Nakhon Pathom route last week instead. I'm done taking chances.

Re: Flights to/from Hua Hin Airport

When the contracts were awarded I expected they would be obliged to report on progress regularly to the public which seems to be the case for rail works at least, including % completion breakdowns.

Re: Flights to/from Hua Hin Airport

Has anyone found a website that posts regular updates on the works in progress at hua hin airport? Like weekly or monthly? I see the usual news updates a couple of times a year but they're usually light on detail.

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

Question about moving funds into Thailand. If I move funds into Thailand (eg super payout, savings etc) while I'm still tax resident in another country, will that avoid any tax assessments on those funds if, say, I move to Thailand permanently in 5 years time and become tax resident in Thailand?

Finding a Thai Lawyer and Accountant

Hey folks, I'm looking for a reliable / reasonable lawyer and also an accountant. Hopefully you guys can help us find both! Obviously English speaking would be a major bonus (my partner is Thai so not a show stopper). Other than that I'm only interested in someone who doesn't operate through a high ...

Re: Gerry - Hua Hin Golf Shop

Ah Kari, thanks for the correction, it's been a while - I'm not great with names.

Can someone please edit the original post with the correct name? I can't see an option to do it myself.

Kari - Hua Hin Golf Shop

I visited my fav golf shop along the train line near the station today. I asked to see the owner who I've met each time I come to Hua Hin - Gerry. Only to hear the devastating news that he was involved in a bike / scooter accident around new years and passed away, so I am told. He was such a treasur...

Clothes Lines

A quick question about outside clothes lines which I can't source around Hua Hin other than the large stainless stand variety and concertina types which I'm not interested in. Looking for an Aus like collapsible square frame that bolts on a side wall with plastic coated cord, are these available any...

Re: Design Ideas for Thai Style House

It's 1 rai. The land next door (both sides) is empty for now and we had a proper survey done.

Boonthavorn did have tiles that were amazing, only to be told the ones I liked the most are not continued. Hopefully the replacements are still available once we order.

Re: Design Ideas for Thai Style House

Damn I've already ordered 20mm blocks 555 Just discovered Boonthavorn is indeed a good option even if they are slightly more pricey. One annoying trick though - I was only shown expensive options presumably based on commissions. Then discovered more stuff around a corner at half the price. Sales sta...

Re: Design Ideas for Thai Style House

I will have an architects design, I just need to provide plans to a Thai builder and go over the local/compliant equivalent and see where we land. Have been looking online but so much of it is either too traditional or far too contemporary. Looking through the real estate sites for-sales (FazWaz etc...

I am building a new house in Hua Hin and looking for design ideas which include both modern and traditional Thai styles. So, for example, modern rendered brick walls and Thai style roof, high ceilings, open plan between living & outdoor areas. Can anyone share examples of some houses, designs, i...
