Do you know the size and location? Also if has utility & road access?

There are a few. The one my wife used is on the Chomsin Road (west side) after crazy railway crossing, straight up the road to toward Hin Lek Fai hill and on the right side somewhere before the temple. She passed practical test second time and got 100% in the theory test and had never driven before prior to the lessons (can't remember how many she had, maybe 20). 

I used to do it at Boxer Rebellion Bangkok, not sure if they still do classes, that was 5+ years ago...they are on FB

If you find a semi-new, furnished 3-4 bed private pool villa in the south of Hua Hin for under 25K per month, do not hesitate, TAKE IT there and then!

Highlight of the week for many!

Thank you very much!

Hi, asking for a friend of a friend. He has first class insurance and wants to drive to Cambodia and Vietnam - anyone know if this is doable, and if insurance will cover his car in these places? Cheers

All the guys I know with ink say Leo Masters is the best - he is easy to look up

the guy that plays bass at market village is khun Lek who owns the bass/guitar shop (Lek Bass) on the railway road - he might be able to help. You could also visit Thai Wai Junior bar in Khao Takiab or Thai Wai Paknampran (only Sunday afternoons) and get talking to people - lots of musicians there!

Also, the bass player at El Murphys works at Home Music School , they are on Facebook: @musicsocity (sic)

By the way, ether of your friends play keyboards?

Hey,

Rich is in USA for at least another month, but Thai Wai in Paknampran is still doing Sunday sessions from 3PM every week. Bands are Bamboo Heart & Ace, then there is the jam session where anyone can join in. The smaller place in Khao Takiab is open Mon-Sat I think and has music most nights. Cheers

You'll have better options if you hop on a tuk tuk or motorbike and just head to the central area around soi 61, and if you are a Thai rookie, they'll probably try to fleece you, but not by much! Railway station is central, from there, walk east, cross at the traffic lights and you'll be on soi 61.

I play bass, but do not have a lot of free time these days..

Try the small sois at the lower-mid of soi 102, don't bother with 112,114,116

Hey geckogiss, what instrument(s) do you play?

There is a Big C on Pala-U Road, and 3 Tesco Lotus's I can think of if you include Pranburi, and 2 Makros also.

Soi Sa Song I think it's called - I love this little place, one of my favourite baguettes in town!

I have heard there is an agent in the centre of town down there (Muang Prachuap Kiri Khan), but I am not sure whether they would even have decent apartments in that area. Would be interested to hear what you find.

How come there seems to have been no activity at this school...ever?

Hi PP,

I'd like to know of any agents that cover all the work of a lawyer (contracts, due diligence, land office visits, etc - especially if at no extra cost ) if you can recommend any?

Cheers,

TD

Jane Haddow of Chavalit & Partners, soi 19

soi 94 not closed, just moved way up the soi where Oys restaurant used to be.

There is another gym/muay thai gym on 102 but I haven't looked in at what equipment they have and seems to be closed a lot.

Also one near/inside Lotuswell resort, hin lek fai but I don't know anything about that.
