My wife and I drive 20 kilometer one way, to the next town, every single day, just to walk and then sit on a path that's not covered in plastic garbage. We are in Hua Hin and have found no public spaces or green space to walk in. The "park" near us in Thap Thai is an absolute disgrace, no trees, no vegetation, and surrounded by garbage dumped by the locals. I miss walking in connecticut every single day I am here. I am stuck here with my wife, child, and finances but paradise it ain't

Looking for a good dentist in Prachuap Khiri Khan (not Hua Hin)

After 5 years of living there i found no good dentist in Prachuap, ended up in Hua Hin. I hope you have better luck -
From my own experience of buying 8 different properties in Hua Hin, Pranbury and Prachuap Khiri Khan, The more I appreciate the advice Andy Dyett posed by in Hua Hin News Before I made another purchase here I would look him up and pick his brain for properties and especially locations. I have never used and agent but agree with his outlook and appreciate his opinions. https://www.huahintoday.com/tag/hua-hin-property-expert/

re entry permit, tm 30, 90 day report
poobear replied to poobear's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just to double check my second question. Can I leave and I re enter the country any time before the expiration date of the (re entry permit/extension of stay) expires with no regard to my original 90 day report. For example can I go away for 120 days and re enter with no problem. Just report after the next 90 days pass. I don't mean to be so anal but I have asked 5 different immigration officers about this and only receive blank stares. -
I am on a original type O visa with and extension to stay based on retirement. My extension valid to November 7 2024, After obtaining a single re entry permit, leaving the country and then returning on April 12 2024, I am still confused about how this process works in regards to my 90 day report. Before I left my 90 day report date was April 21 2024. In this case I returned before my 90 day report date was due. When I arrived at the airport I received a stamp under my re entry permit with my arrival date and the date of my extension renewal November 7 2024. What do I do now that I am back in the country about tm 30 and 90 day reporting. Do I immediately report to Hua Hin Immigration or wait until my original 90 day report was due. This is at the end of a five day immigration holiday so I would like to understand the process and avoid the office on Wednesday morning if I could My second question is when I have a valid re entry permit can leave and I re enter the country any time before the expiration date of the (re entry permit/extension of stay) expires with no regard to my original 90 day report. For example can I go away for 120 days and re enter with no problem. Does the 90 days reset on the day I arrive back in Thailand. Thank you Question number

90 day report online question
poobear replied to poobear's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just to re check, Dr Jack does the latter "End of current permission of stay " refer to the end date of my yearly stamp in passport. The yearly extension based on retirement I get once a year. Thanks -
Can someone please tell me what date to fill in under "stay visa required" ? is this the date on my 90 day report stapled to the back of my passport or is it the date of the end off my yearly extension based on retirement. I see where on the bottom stamp of my yearly extension it mentions to keep my "stay permit" re entry permit must be made before leaving Thailand. Is stay permit somehow suppose to mean "stay Visa"? Thank You

Honda HRV HEV RS - how's the panoramic roof?
poobear replied to Niltava's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I purchased a Rs with a sunroof and hated it, most uncomfortable seats I have ever had and I am a driver by trade. Within 5 months I sold it and never been so happy to lose 3,000 dollars. The car runs, drives, accelerates, and handles perfectly. But, for me. The sunroof takes up way to much head room and the seats are so small and tight I never got a comfortable seat position even after having them modified twice by cutting down the sides and widening them. I was shifting my seating position 5 times before I even got out of the drive way. I had a 2002 Honda city before that and now have a 2017 Honda jazz with no seat complaints. Just be forewarned that some people have major problems with seat comfort in the hrv. Good Luck in whatever you decide -
Why is there so much trash on the grass verges in Hua Hin
poobear replied to ThaiPauly's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am
Hua Hin has very few trash cans around unlike Pranburi with an abundance of cans all over the town. Also many areas in town are impromptu dumping sites infested with the many street dogs ripping the cans and garbage apart never to be picked up. I like living in Hua Hin for my sons school, the two malls and easy access to Pranbury parks and beaches. Town parks, public spaces, and basic public services ( garbage, road repair, ect,) in Hua Hin are sorely lacking. My advice is get used to it, or move on. It aint changing any time soon. -

Controversial sticker-covered Pai highway sign sparks fury
poobear replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
I noticed the sign the last time I rolled into town and thought it was perfect for Pai. The fact that is is slowley turing into another noisey thai bar town, not so much. Pai is well on the way to loosing most of it's quirky charm from the amount of bars now downtown. I lived right down town and ran a buisness for 5 years and know many of the locals that own homes downtown that can no longer live in their own homes or rent out resorts that hey have held for years. Pounding bass beat all night and smoke filling their homes from the bars on either side of where they sleep. Outsider's running bar businesses is driving them from their homes and killing local business. The old house on the hill in Pai
