TOPIC: Hua Hin

I'm sure some one on here lives there and commented when I was trying to set a trip up.

Going over Easter, any specific eating recommendations? Best things to do in the local area ?

Thought it was a thread on a Geordie pal at first

Big tellys, fancy holidays, what next yer flash get

Went in 2001 and was walking down the street with my Mrs and went into a bar in my Carlisle shirt and the lad who was running it was from west Cumbria somewhere and I have a feeling his dad owned it. Had a good crack about football and and had a coke each and wandered on. Had been eating a full meal for 60 bahts each and a glass of coke cost us 90b!! was mortified!! Crack was good though

Wonder if he is viewing the message board if you think he has posted on here? Will try and look in a diary and see if I can find the name of it.

My recommendations are eat food of the street markets and get on a train and buy food off the ladies that come on the train and sell it when it stops at a station.

Get some sticky rice out of a bamboo cane and also sweet cocunut rice that they make in a 'yorkshire pudding' tin!!! (and when you get the coconut rice ask them how they make it and fetch the recipe back for my wife then we can make it !)

I can still remember the taste 14 years later!!

Will have changed by now I reckon. Was just starting to expand when we went there and becoming a resort.

I have lived 20KM from Hua Hin for 5 yrs, and spend a lot of time there. If you want to know anything about the place just email me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Sorry about the coke price most places are 20 baht. I can still get a meal and a large beer for 100 Baht (£2)

The bar was probably Jungle Juice partly owned by one of Ralph Calvins family. I spoke to Ralph there a short while back. In new hands now as of about 6 weeks ago but still run by the same staff.

Just out of intrest would that be the Ralph Calvin who played Rugby for Whitehaven....

Or maybe related to Steven Calvin, owner of Myers and Bowman at Distington perchance ?

A relative of Ralph Calvin, I think his name is David.
Ralph and his wife are regular visitors to Hua Hin. Jungle Juice has photos of the lakes and a team photo of WRLFC

I'm off to that cicada night market tonight, will there be a dodgy stall streaming Pompey v Carlisle ?

Surely there's a market for this, massive demand.

I'm willing to pay 200 baht

Inside info needed stu

We have just arrived at cape panwa Phuket and have the same problem,hoping the messageboard will keep me updated,coyb.

I have been to Phuket a few times, in November stasyed in Kata. GF very disappointed as she likes to spend all day on the beach but on this visit sun loungers were not available. Do they still have sun loungers on the beach in Hua Hin or have they being banned here too?
Also, are the cocktails full strength or more like mocktails?

Stu,
Having spectacularly failed for a Pompey stream, I'm giving you a 2nd chance with Hartlepool tonight

The hopes of prachuap Khiri Khan are resting on your shoulders.

Come on you Thai blues

Sadly it's united world for me.

What are you like at darts? one of my teams is playing in Robin Hood Bar in Soi 80 tonight, and short of a player. Soi 80 is worth a look
