Yep, I agree 100%, I think there were more nice looking coupes 20 years ago, however, I really want the more modern tech, more comfortable drive, modern engine and all the bells and whistles. I'm starting to think another Veloster is the most viable alternative or stick with the Mazda 2 for another year.......

Yep, just come to that conclusion, thanks.

Agree with the Merc. Also when talking replacement cars with my mate at the weekend, I mentioned the price of the 10 year old Veloster and CR Z compared with a brand new Swift at around 570k I think it was. I actually like the style of the Swift even though I really class it as a girls car..........the basic one was underpowered for me, I will Google the turbo version , thanks. Oh, and there aren't any hills in HH or en route to BKK so the CVT will do for me.

The Mazda already has factory skirts and spoilers so not sure what else one could do. A friend at the weekend also suggested tweaking the ECU. Looking at Civic RS on One2car I only see 4 door sedans, am I looking at the right model? Used Honda Civic 1.5 RS, find local dealers/sellers | One2car

Nice car but a convertible is not practical in this country unless you only go out after 6 pm, I sweated in one for 3 years !! Bit out of my price range also I'm afraid, of 54 on One2car I could just about afford the cheapest but as I only do around 5k kms a year I cant justify spending more than a million. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'm looking for a used coupe but I don't know what's available. I own a Mazda 2 sport which I've had for exactly one year but it isn't at all sporty in looks or performance but it was cheap and well looked after by one owner and fsh. My previous car for 3 years was a Hyundai Veloster Turbo and before that for 3 years a Daihatsu Copen Turbo. Actually I don't use the car much as I live in Hua Hin and travel to the beach, shopping mall etc is only a few minutes drive so easier on the PCX. However, when I do use it I usually go to Bkk or Jomtien a few times a year so I do like the extra power that the Mazda doesn't provide, it's Ok up to 120 kph but a bit hard work after that. I do like the shape/style of the Veloster and also the Honda CR Z but both models at 8-10 years old are still quite expensive at 600-900 k for a decent reasonably low mileage (definitely under 100k) model. So any other models I should be looking at? Have to be more than circa 100 bhp which rules out my Mazda 2 sport and Focus/Fiesta Sports.

And? If it's what you wanted and a good price with free delivery, why not buy online. And you could have checked store availability online before you went as I suggested.........twice.

AIRPORT TO HUA HIN (airporthuahinbus.com) You can book the bus in advance. If you book a taxi then no more than 1600 Baht.

It is still in the Tops building but space halved by the cheapo shop. Why don't you check online as I suggested???

If you haven't heard of Carabao or Sek Loso you must have had your head under a rock.

OP, if you use FB there is a HH group called Hua Hin walks where people post routes to walk, not sure if suitable for evenings but give it a look.

MMmmmmm, what bars where? Unfortunately the only bars on the beach are the few big expensive hotels, apart from the Thai crowd bars outside the Hilton which don't usually open late.

Update : Bought a Eaglehawk cab sav from Tesco yesterday and today popped into villa Market. They had a table display at the front of the wine section with Mcwilliams wines at 400 Baht each. So I bought a Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Shiraz Cab, Cab Merlot. Also a Hardys Shiraz also 400. I was on my bike so I didn't want to carry anymore as I already had other shopping but I will be back soon. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Found one on Wishbeer, 5l of Paulaner Munchner Hell at 2329 Baht or 1720 for members (I 0don't know what being a member costs).

I first saw one online in the UK called perfectdraft hence I googled lazada etc and came across the machine in the opening post. The beauty of it is it keeps the beer at a cool 3-4 degrees and lasts around a month after opening. But I was hoping to find kegs for beers other than the Thai Chang/Singha/Leo. Maybe that Chang is just a stand alone keg but if it doesn't chill the beer it's not much different to buying the bottles and sticking them in your fridge.

Been paying my leccy and water by direct debit for about 3 years, I don't even get the water bill delivered now.

Thanks guys , got a good list of reds to try, how about a few whites ? Do companies like 19 Crimes do white also so I look for the same manufacturer producing white? How about a Pinot Grigio?

Sounds really good but I live in Hua Hin and never heard of Italasia........

I found this draft beer dispenser on Lazada which takes 5 litre kegs, the ad shows kegs from Tiger, heineken etc, are these kegs available in Thailand or does the Chang/Singha monopoly prevent this?

I presumed every would know I meant a wine with fruit juice added. But yes, Apricots, peaches etc make a nice tasting wine.

I'm not a wine buff by any means but I do like a bottle every couple of weeks when I'm fed up with beer. Up to now I've been on a tight budget so the only wines I have been buying are the cheapest non fruit wines, the Vineyard brand sold at Lotus only for around 389 Baht. Red and White, Cabernet, Shiraz and Merlot, Chardonnay and I think Sauvignon Blanc before but my local one only stocks the Chardonnay now. Now I don't need wine snobs to tell me it's p*ss and only good for cooking, as I've explained I've been on a budget. Now I have more regular disposable income and I would like to buy better wines, red and white, let's say 500-700 Baht, what brands would you recommend please?
