Has Hua Hin Become a Gangster's Place for Expats?
Comments below the article aside as they're on a different subject that has been covered on this forum already ...
From a Thai business point of view yes its is quite common that when the trade is slow the prices go up.
"Less customers so we'll make the few that do come pay more to make up for it." Thai logic I guess!

Re: Has Hua Hin Become a Gangster's Place for Expats?
Sorry, but, the very brief first paragraph aside, that's a pretty daft topic title when the link just references a persons experiences about the price of a coffee !seasides wrote:Saw this one - read the first comment - anyone got similar takes/experiences?
Quite how that ties into Gangsters place for Expats somewhat stretches the imagination a touch.
I would say that HH is probably got a fair few plastic gangsters and boozy bullshitters to have a laugh with but that's really as far as it goes

Well, he or she was speaking more metaphorically with the coffee comparison.Rider wrote: Sorry, but, the very brief first paragraph aside, that's a pretty daft topic title when the link just references a persons experiences about the price of a coffee !

Maybe true, maybe Hua Hin has become a rougher place. The quoted site is usually quite credible without exaggerating ...
But agree, my title is unlucky.
Hua Hin is the safest place I've ever lived in, yeah it's getting a bit rougher pi$$ed up idiot wise, but that goes with an ever increasing town. We've had a tragic incident recently in which we wish the family the best.
Some of these other sites where 2 or 3 sad people post under numerous alias' claiming Hua Hin is now a gangster town are desperate, I can't even laugh at it when I read it anymore.
Those of us that live here happily know fact from fiction.

Agree with the above, there are a couple of undesirables or 'plastic gangstas' in town but if you do your research and talk to some local people and expats they're easily pointed out and avoided - Hua Hin is a very small town.
