"Do you personally believe White people smell like wet dog sometimes?"
Right. And I, for one, think that TOPS is about the best in Thailand for what I need to buy in the way of edibles. However, I try to shop ONLY in the Tops location where I know the manager. He is one of the best managers in Thailand. -

Some advice/opinions please on moving to Hua Hin
You may have a problem if you want it to be nice. There are a lot of predominantly Thai areas but they are primarily either older town houses or run down and insecure housing estates. I would not trust living in most of the town houses you have no idea what neighbours you will get or security. Many places have barred windows. The housing estates i have seen that are more thai are very poorly maintained. Look along soi 102 about and the Sois off it, about 3km out. If you want to be close to the beach you need to look around the area into Khao Takiab. Right at the end not far from the temple. Past the turning point for the SongThaews That is an area i remember that may meet what you want. I looked at a couple of houses there that were not bad, but we chose a beautiful peaceful and well maintained village 3km out that does have many falangs but it is Thai run.. Your best bet may be to get a condo, but condo prices in my opinion are relatively more expensive. Maybe look at cha-am if you want to be away from people. If you want thais, then be prepared to put up with the potential noise. The so called Ghetto area is mainly around the Hilton which gets crowded with older people. That is not representative of Hua Hin. There are some of the bar areas such as soi 88 and 94 also frequented by a lot of older falangs but many places in Thailand have similar. When i go into town on soi 88 there are very few falang places until you get into town. But, very few places to think of living. Some people may think that Market Village is crowded with older falangs but that is not the case, unless that is all you want to identify. The restaurant on the pier that we go to often is adjacent to the Hilton "Ghetto area". It often has just as many thais or younger tourists as there are older tourists. It can hardly be declared a ghetto. -

Hua Hin Hotel Manager Fired After Dispute Over Customer Review
I have stayed at 5 star hotels, and they do supply toothbrushes for free, along with a variety of other products, like shampoos and conditioners, not your cheap ones either, shower caps and cotton buds. When you are paying 5,000 to 10,000 baht a night, you expect the above, if they ever wanted to charge me for those products, then their room rates would have to come down. The Managers comments were condescending and rude. He/she obviously had bad English or used Google translate, because if I received a rely like that, they would have lost my business. The hotel owner did the right thing dismissing this Manager, I would add, that, probably not the 1st incident which probably warranted his/her dismissal. The last thing a 5 star hotel wants is a customer being handled this one "publicly". -

Pattaya Boosts Safety Measures for Koh Larn Trips Amid Trami Storm Impact
Pattaya — On October 26th, 2024, Pattaya City tourist police, alongside the Marine Department, intensified safety measures as Tropical Storm “Trami” brings strong winds and waves, impacting the Gulf of Thailand. Although “Trami” remains approximately 400 kilometers southeast of Hainan, China, it is expected to approach Vietnam’s central coast from October 26th to 28th, causing rough seas along Thailand’s eastern coastline. In Pattaya Bay, waves have risen to around 1.5 to 2 meters. Officials raised a half-mast red flag to signal potential danger, particularly for weekend tourists heading to Koh Larn. The Tourist Police and Marine Department patrolled from Bali Hai Pier to Koh Larn’s main piers, evaluating wave conditions and enforcing safety protocols.

Hua Hin Hotel Manager Fired After Dispute Over Customer Review
GOOD Reply from the manager. I really HATE all that crappy plastic junk they put out for hotel guests. I do not use any of it. a. I buy and use a high quality toothbrush...NOT Hotel crud. b. All that plastic garbage, unused, truly is not so good for landfills and the environment. c. I also do not use that crappola because I have no way of knowing what is inside those bottles. The products might have been adulterated by previous guests, etc. Therefore.... I am with the hotel manager on this one. The guest should go brush his teeth with a twig off the nearest tree. -
