I don't know about the "best but it is very easy to change at any jewelry store or places in the hood. Just ask at your hotel. they are also not very pickey about marked up bill ect.  If you are staying by the beach you can exchange with the motorcycle rental guy in front of Samatha Apartment and hotel. His rate was better than daily rate on internet and his rental bikes are in very good condition.I would pass on staying at the hotel.. It's very easy to change money but you can compare rates before  a large exchange. Forget the banks

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

Nana dental clinic near Bangkok hospital, south end 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.

Pure Poppycock!!!

I was at Hua Hin Immigration at Blueport mall today to check if they  requires tm 30 report after you leave county with re entry permit  and return to the same address you left. Yes every time you return, but not so firm about the 24 hours.

 After obtaining a single re entry permit, leaving the country and then returning on April 12 2024,

 

 

Thank you very much, All my question have already been answered.

Thanks Georgealbert and Upnotover for you answer.

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 

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

I have Kasikorn Bank. When I want money from Schwab I just do a wire transfer from my brokerage account from Schwab. I call them. They keep my standing instructions on file. I say use them. I tell them how much. They read a disclosure. From 9 eastern time in the U.S. the money is usually in my Kasikorn account in 19-12 hours.

I do the same thing with to Bank of Ayutthaya,  call Schwab with amount, standing order on file to aprove transfers.  The money is there by next morning with no charge from schwab small fee Thai bank. 

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

Schwab international wire transfer are free from Schwab  with a small charge from the Thai Bank. It takes a couple days Wire dollars from Your end and it will be converted based on or about Bangkok Banks TT rate,

I live in hua Hin and since covid we almost never see any police anywhere. A sighting is so infrequent we notice and comment on it.

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. 

No love for monkeys. Love to see people shooting anyting at them in Prachuap or Hua hin.

Brings back the good old days.

My shop won't touch them. Most don't want the headache of trying to fix their problems.  Plus where do they get parts?

What/where is "your shop" and what bikes do you refer to when you speak of "headache's of trying to fix their problems.

What bikes can't you find parts for? Just interested
