Please disregard my post. I found a place in BKK that has more variety and lower prices.

Have any of you local residents purchased hearing aids in Hua Hin? If so, what shop did you purchase them from and, if you don't mind, what was the cost? I was in Hua Hin yesterday and while walking around, I stumbled on one shop and picked up a flyer that had only one manufacturer/brand. The advertised price for the different models provided by the manufacturer ranged from very expensive to astronomical. If you purchased hearing aids in Bangkok, what was your experience like. I purposely avoided mentioning any company names and prices due to not knowing if doing so would get me put in a Thai jail cell.

I will check them out. My hotel is pretty close to this place. Thanks.

I'm planning on being in Pattaya next week and I have a pool cue that needs some attention. Do any of you pool shooters know of a place that I could bring it to? dj

i just successfully logged in to my S.S. account using a VPN (tunnelbear).

I called Murphy's and the person who took the call told me that they close at 2 a.m. Just about the time the leaders tee off for the final round. Guess I have to check Bangkok or Pattaya.

Are there any bars that will be providing tv coverage of the upcoming 2024 Masters in April? I am looking for a place in either Cha Am (preferred) or Hua Hin. Thanks! dj

Some entity is pouring a ton of money into renewing this course and is adding an additional 9 holes. I saw some of the expansion fairways the other day when I played a round. The hotel rooms seem to be complete and my caddie said they are filled with S. Korean guests. I teed off at 11:00 and was done by 14:00. I played solo so that helps with the time issue. The greens and fairways were in pretty nice shape when I played. Especially considering the drought we have up here in Kaeng Krachan. Just to add to pi747's post, there is an additional 100 baht fee for weekends and holidays plus my 3 caddies that I have used can speek nitnoi english. AND, there is a driving range and practice greens for your practice pleasure as well. I wish they would offer some type of membership. Maybe some day.

I received my new U.S. passport today as well. Applied by mail on Nov. 11 or 12 and they responded on Nov. 14 that they had my application. Exceptional service. I think the wait time in the U.S. is 4 - 6 months.

In case someone might be interested, I drove to the Kaeng Krachan golf course because I was told by a guy that someone, or company, was breathing some fresh air into the course after it has been dormant for the past few years. He wasn't lying. Not only was a ton of work being done on the golf course, they appear to be building a bunch of hotel or condo rooms facing the 18th fairway. I didn't talk to anyone at the course so all I can report is what I stated above. Regarding the structure photo, to the left of the structure there is another unit under construction as well.

I've been a gout sufferer for decades. Inherited from my dad. I've been on allopurinol for decades as well. 100 mg daily. I have not read in this thread that anyone has used INDOMETHACIN (INDOCIN) for pain relief. For me, it has been the best, by far, for reducing or eliminating the pain and swelling caused by gout. It is available over the counter at most pharmacies. It is a very strong NSAID but works fast. Good luck to all you fellow gout sufferers.

I'm curious if any bars will be showing the Feb. 12, 2023 Super Bowl game. Date: Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023 | Time: 6:30 p.m. ET Location: State Farm Arena (Glendale, Arizona)? Thanks!
