I never tip if someone asks for it what they going to do refuse to take the bike on the train after you have already paid them? do they ask fellow Thais for tips also ? I bet they don’t !

Might have to bite the bullet and pay the playasia premium price... The preorders are sold out at home in Australia till middle of next year apparently.. That's crazy. Might have to end up with an xbox?

Don’t wanna start a console fan boy war but the Xbox is a better choice imho, Xbox has game pass witch is basically nextflix for games where as ps5 games are going to cost $70 a pop, but tbf getting a Xbox here is probably even more hard because they are not big in Asia I had to send one from the uk because it was so much cheaper last gen

I believe you needed to lodge an application for a Volunteer visa by the 10th of september. So that time has now passed. 

 

I lodged my application for a Volunteer visa on 9th. Just got approved today. The 3 stamps take up 2 pages - cost THB 30k for 90 days, same same to extend for a year if required. Expensive yes, but the money was worth not having to stress about the uncertainty relating to the amnesty ending. 

 

 

Lol man you got ripped off I just paid 40k for my volunteer and that is for a year visa and I didn’t apply until the 19th of September 

Lol how has this post got so many reply ? Your bank card didn’t work twice then it worked what is the big deal ? Man your life must be boring if that’s the most exciting thing that happens to you in a day lol

What’s the deal with every agent offering volunteer visas all of a sudden ?
 

I’m on a ED visa that finishes next month and my school has said I have to go on a volunteer visa because they can’t give me another ED visa and all the agents seem to be in a rush trying to get me to apply before the 26th of September even tho I’m permitted to stay until the 11th of October, dose anyone else think there is something fishy about this ?  

volunteer Visa is the way to go you can get a 1 year extension on your ed visa for around 40k just shop about abit and don’t go with the first agent you find 

Lol this is a troll post, how can someone who earns 1 million bhat a month not have any money stacked away ? A load of BS 

No point coming on here crying about it walk down the beach and let the Thais that rent the jet skis know how you feel ! I

I’m another one that would recommend a Mazda 2 i brought a new one at the start of the year sedan shape lovely little car and has the best interior out of all the other cars mentioned

You lost any helpful advice and constructive ideas many will give you with that last comment.  If you have lived here for 6 years, you should know that 'a few  skinny Thai guys' with baseball bats, a few machetes  and the odd .38,  will quickly change your mind.   As for living in NW London, so what? Seen it all?  What is the "all" that you have seen then?

 

Good luck, for as someone else wrote, by your attitude displayed here, you are going to need it. 

I already got advice from 2 helpful guys in my inbox not everyone is old and bitter, yeah Iv been here six years and never once been scared of Thai guys they have bats guns and knives lol so what you don’t think I ain’t seen all of that growing up on London ? These people will only try that stuff with you if they think they can get away with it ! I’m not a victim never have been and never will be

You're obviously a clown so let's hope you crash your silly Jet Ski and then get a good slap off the Jet Ski guys

 

Lol sorry old man it ain’t going to happen so if you want me to get a slap you better come and do it yourself ! but we all know that ain’t going to happen your scared of your own shadow and been bullied your whole life by the sounds of it so unless your going to step up and do something shut up and come off my post you sad bitter old man

No license is needed, as they are not considered boats, but a watercraft. That is why they are exempt from regulations such as lighting, ventilation, and so on which would apply to boats. I have three here in Kanchanaburi, and on the weekends ride with some of local tourist police. If you have a light jet ski, usually a two stroke, you can launch it from  the beach, a trick is to lower the air pressure in the trailer tires to provide more contact surface with the ground. A newer 4 stroke will will need a hard ramp to launch because of the weight. Another option would be to launch using a beach cart. The sea doo dealer in Bangkok can get you one. On the trailer hitch any welding shop can fabricate one for you. Mine cost 5000 baht for my Toyota Hi-Lux, installed. 

Thanks for the heads up, I’m thinking about getting a little sea doo spark trixx from what I have seen they are the lightest jet skis you can get so maybe it won’t be a problem wheeling it on and off the beach I just wasn’t sure how hard it would be to pull it on the sand

Hua Hin is full of old farts so why have you moved here?

 

Hopefully the Jet Ski guys will sort you out - if they see one of your mates on it they will be right over- in fact if they see you on it they will to

 

Good luck - you will need it

Listen silly old man I have lived here for 6 years I ain’t just got off the plane! The other 28 years of my life I grew up in north west London and have seen it all, do you really think I’m worried about a few Skinny thai men trying to bully me because I have my own jet ski ???? behave yourself, 
 

But your more then welcome To come and try “ sort me out “ If you want, just drop me a DM and we can link up

i reside just past Hua Hin and a local, American, has two jet ski's, on a road legal and tax paid trailer which was provided by shop.

He purchased them from Motofield near Samut Sakhon, next door to the BMW motorcycle shop.

He regularly towed them from Bangkok to here for weekend use but now he has a storage area locally.

i am not sure as to how many boat ramps are in the area, we have 3 in my little town, but there should be a few but just remember that sometimes they might be of a slightly different standard to what you would expect.

as for the noise and danger to swimmers we are assuming that you would be a responsible person and therefor not run swimmers over or kneel on their necks, as for the noise well they will just have to learn to live with it, they are no louder than many a scooter ridden at crazy speed by the charming local boys in Hua Hin.

 

my suggestion is jump on a scooter and go for a ride along the seafront, investigate all the little soi's and just look for a boat ramp. when you find one ask your significant other, who hopefully speaks the local language, to enquire if it is available for public use.

 

the idea of using a sedan type car to launch you ski may present problems but you can cross that bridge when you come to it.

 

there is a small but thriving jet ski scene oil Thailand and as i am sure you are aware there are races and all sorts of things.

there is, or was, an annual race from Hua Hin to pattaya.

 

good luck and enjoy yourself.

thanks for this

Oh! there we are dealing with a person of class and elegance.
But, did you not know that Hua Hin was a city of old farts.
The proof is that we are building retirement homes by storm.
They will have to be filled in.
I recommend Pattaya, there are many old farts, but they are more fun and reluctant by any law.

no im ok im fine where i am thanks id rather not live in a city for sex pats

I would find a firm beach adjacent to HH where you can back a  trailer into the shallows to off/on load, so a good 4x4 and a good trailer is needed.  I do understand that you need some kind of marine licence to operate it, so check with the Marine Department first, or you may find yourself in trouble. Last point, stay well away from the beach Thai jet ski scammers, they will not be amused at you having your own.  

thanks for the info i will look in to what licence i need, i dont have a 4x4 just a car and the jet ski im looking at comes with a trailer so was looking for a concrete ramp some where, i did spot one in a fishing village just south of hua hin, but by the sounds of it im better off taking it to racer marina, as for the jet ski renter guys im not too fussed about them i wont be renting it out so its none of their business  

i just moved to hua hin from bangkok and am thinking about buying a jet ski, dose anyone know where i can launch it in the water off the back of a trailer ideally be able to revers it to drop it in and then the same when i want to get it back on, i have found a place called racer marina but was hoping there was somewhere closer to me i am based on soi 2 in hua hin
