Hey folks. I have gone from Don Meuang Airport to Victory M by the airport bus, but never the other way around. Firstly, such a bus still exists, right? And, secondly, where exactly does it leave at Victory M? As you know, it is a vast area, and I don't want to waste time and energy looking for the exact spot. Cheers.

In the meantime, the fascist, killer guy Kyle Rittenhouse is free and last I checked, was provoking people on social media. Far right so often gets away with various crimes they commit. So I am surprised they have gone after this fascist group. I guess they had to. It was too out in the open.

Right now, for example Seven Elevens can sell alcoholic drinks from 11 am to 2 pm and then from 5 pm to midnight. I think the start and end times are reasonable. But, them not being able to sell between 2 and 5 can be annoying. This 'No alcohol from 2 to 5' is also valid for some bars and pubs. For bars in the Nana and Asoke area, I think that is not a problem. They can sell alcoholic drinks. But elsewhere, you can come acoss some places that don't sell drinks in those hours. It has happened to me recently. The place is actually part of a hotel, so I was really surprised. And, they used to be able to sell in those hours before. But now, there is that restriction for them. I have no idea what the criteria are for being able to sell alcoholic drinks in that interval.

Here is the newest link I have just found about all this : It is not looking very good. But of course, I guess we will know for sure by this Sunday. I have a question. I will most probably in Hua Hin by next Monday the latest. There are a few bars, pubs etc there with big screen TVs. Now, if somehow the Thai government manages to buy and get the rights and matches are on free Thai channels, of course I will have no problem watching them (at least those matches that end before the closing time) at such venues. But if all attempts fail and there is no Thai broadcaster, do you think maybe some of those venues would show the matches via some streaming thing? Or, would they not dare do it due to broadcast rights etc? Let us just hope that the government manages to buy the rights. Preferably to all matches of course ???? I have about 30-40 percent hope as of now.

Cheers, folks. I think I will go there, because if I don't go, I will probably feel sorry later. 7-10 days in Hua Hin should suffice this time. There were times when I stayed there for 2-3 weeks.

Hey folks. It has been ages since I last posted in the forum. Happy to be back. Anyway, I am back in Thailand after nearly 3 years. I saw a similar thread here but that one was several months old so I started a new one. I am in Bangkok now. Actually, I am planning to go to Hua Hin next Friday. For at least a week. Some recent videos and comments on YouTube made me think like the place is still very much empty. Is that so? I am not much of a hardcore nightlife guy anymore, but I was hoping the place was gradually getting back to late 2019 levels, when I was there last. For example, is the huge beer garden near the middle of Soi Bintabaat up and running as before? That place is one of my favorite ones. Also, how about the venues along the main street just off the beach? Cheers. Jem
