Merry Christmas from a Norwegian, at the moment in the middle of the
Mediterranean heading for Suez, longing back to Hua Hin.

I'll be there!

Had pizza on the one opposite to the Hilton once, the pizza was ok but the service was TERRIBLE. May have had something to do with coming in there 10 mins before closing time. Maybe they had a bad day. Anyway, can't reccomend it.

Being a quarter Norwegian, I'll settle for some smurbreu (sorry Vikings for the spelling) on the 24th. As far as the 25th is concerned Hm. Don't know where you got this from, it's definately not a Norwegian tradition (Sorry, but I feel I have to correct you on this). Smorbroed (buttered bread) is a...

Left Hua Hin the day before yesterday, called back to service, that's life. Will be back to enjoy shortly, but this was on another topic...

I know I need to try again but in the other hand I need to make decision here. My manager now accepted me to stay and offer me real good promotion but the message is I have to sign a long term contract. I know myself enough to know that I can hardly keep that promise with the company since I will t...

It's fully packed. Going to be a record season for sure. A guest house owner i know says it's already getting very difficult to find a room.

I had a teacher over to give some english lessons to my girlfriend, his name is Kjetil (was on Hua Hin radio recently I've been told). He's a Norwegian who speaks Thai fluently (+Issan/lao). He is actually a teacher and teaches thai to foreigners and norwegian, swedish, english and german to Thais. ...

Jumped of my college education after 1 1/2 years to go to technical/maritime college. My parents were REALLY upset about it, but it was the most important/best descision I have ever made. Finished with a Chief Engineer licence exam when I was 22 and did my duty in the navy for a year. Then I started...

Tourism is good for Thai economy. But mcDonalds restaurants on every corner can hardly be called progress. Why do tourists come here in the first place? Only because of the warm and dry weather? A little on the side: I read a ahort article about Thaksin not wanting the charter tourists in Phuket any...

It uses alot of resources, yes. Thats the drawback.

I would strongly reccomend that you install Norton Internet security with anti virus. I don't have any shares :mrgreen: , I just think it's great software! Since I first installed it about 5 years ago, I havent had any problems with hacker attacks, viruses, trojans etc. And my computers have usually...

You can get a taksin-made playphone for 1990 Baht, or a Nokia 1100 for 2990 Baht. There are basicly two things you can do with these phones: Call and send SMS. Think cellphones are generally cheaper in Thailand than in NZ. Especially if you buy a brand from Asia.

Have been told that there is a tobacco store close to the night market but haven't looked for it myself. Try asking around there?

There is no need to point out that much of this is about promotion of industry etc. Not ALL of this is relevant for small businesses/companies but there are some things that are. I have heard many people talking about setting up a limited company for buying a house, people on this forum have said th...
