Re: Thailand Cambodia conflict news and updates

This will negatively affect expats living in BKK who need to do 'visa runs'.

Of course there are other options but none as close as the Cambodian border.

Re: A Medical Emergency in Hua Hin

Google, what the hell is a "Zimmer Frame" ? Is this a British term ? What does the rest of the world call it ? A "Zimmer frame" is a British term for a walking frame, a mobility aid used by individuals with limited mobility. It's essentially a metal frame with legs and handles t...

Re: CT scan Hua Hin

Sorry I can't answer that. I have no personal experience.
I only got the data from their websites.

Re: New entertainment complex law to shake up Thailand’s nightlife

I lived in HH for over 20 years so I've seen many 'knee jerks'.
Here in Nongkhai, if you have customers then you stay open.
No customers then close the bar and go home.
Recent night out I left the bar at 2:30 and still serving.
No police patrols but also no problems. Not sure that'd work in HH.

Re: Thailand tourism situation

I drove to Pai many years ago. Loved the place. Very quiet and hardly ever saw a tourist!

Reading the above, it's obviously changed a lot for the worse. I certainly won't visit there again.

Re: Hua Hin on Its Way to Becoming a “Special Tourist City”

Seems to be the norm for a town that has expanded with zero zoning regulations or even guidance. There are zoning regulations in place. The problem, of course, is there is zero enforcement: Yes, there are zoning regulations in Hua Hin, Thailand: Building Control Act This act establishes general bui...

Re: Hua Hin on Its Way to Becoming a “Special Tourist City”

"I never meet any Russian tourists in Hua Hin, are there any, I doubt it. Phuket is littered with them I know." There were a fair few here until the ruble crashed to a third of it's value in 2022. Tourists and 'long termers' alike. Some even dabbled at owning a bar. They even built their o...

That was hardly Bigotry. The comment came from a 100% Brit. You really need to get your head round sarcasm, and comments made in jest.

Re: Thailand to introduce compulsory travel insurance/tourist tax

The concept of a tourist tax isn't a new one. City tax has long been the norm for many countries in Europe such as Greece, Spain and Germany . There are currently around 20 countries that levy a 'tourist tax'. Most are much more expensive than what is proposed in Thailand. However, we have to compl...

Re: Cataract Operation at Hua Hin Hospital

I always thought Dr. Pairat was joking when he said "Do you want a reading eye?" He wasn't. On completion he told me that I had a 'reading' eye. "Isn't that going to cause confusion?" "Of course not. Your brain will allow both eyes to work as one". He was right. I can s...

Re: Cataract Operation at Hua Hin Hospital

I had both my eyes done by Dr. Pairat. It was some years ago and he was the only ophthalmologist in HH. In those days he did the op at his surgery and BKK Hospital used to send their patients to him. Now of course he does his ops at BKK Hospital which I'm sure raised the price as the hospital would ...

Re: Fatal shooting in Soi 80 bar

I remember army personnel being around during police stops. They were filming the procedure and when asked why they're filming, the answer was "To ensure the police don't plant anything in your vehicle!"
