Re: Locksmith
If the holes are already drilled on the surface to mount the lock (cupboard or drawer door), it should not be to difficult.

Re: Shoe Repairs in Hua Hin
Last visit in 2024, I asked a chap in Bangkok who had a european style locksmith booth in Bangkok MBK MALL what what the cost to resole. Turned out it was very close to what it was back home in Europe. Needless to say, I did not give him the job considering the cost.

Re: Plumber, Electrician, Handyman required.
I also used Handyman Hua Hin back in 2023-2024. Very satisfied. However this year, it was a different story and the chaps they sent were really not in their element. But as nothing is consistent here, maybe my case is an isolated one so just giving my latest update. Sorry.

Re: Clothes Shopping
Although the OP was asking for clothes shopping in Hua Hin, not Bangkok? The fact is that other than the two night markets, Market Village is probably the best outlet, although you could try the old Shopping Mall? A bit further out, some 10 kms past Cha Am is the “Premium Outlet” - since Covid it’s...

Re: Looking for House insurance
Getting a contract can be simple. But after reading the clause and the amounts refunded from at least 10 different firms, none had an amount to fully cover the cost of the house or the belongings inside. Some more or less covered the cost of the house but had many restrictions for belongings like no...

Re: Thai Driving License renewal
Can I renew my first 2 year driver licence in advance, say 1 year before expiry ? Can I go this time to Hua Hin office despite that I initially went to the Cha Am DLT ? As no Grab comes over there to pick up. Do I need to show again a translation of the foreign licence as during the application as m...

If foreigners are allowed to own the land, all the land owners who lease the land on 30yrs will obvisouly loose their cash cows ? Unless it's a fixed rate for leasehold fixed by the authorities ??

Re: Hua Hin security camera company
Top CCTV is good service but their hardware products are not good quality and some of the hardware boxes connected to the cams tend to break down regularly.
