I was talking to another farang in a beautiful french cafe yesterday,all white painted with beautiful french glass doors and french ceiling moulding 

I would be interesting to know if anyone had a french style house interior 

 

Could we get back on topic please !!!

 

and he did mention that did I perhaps in a my wisdom know perhaps a beach with waves l?

 

No ....I said before becoming rude and excusing myself 

 

And a good point, Is it north Pattaya where the surfing waves are?

The beach such as Jomtien is not a real beach as such ,where are the real beach ?

You became rude?  I thought you might have burst into tears at the lack of waves and feeling sorry because this person had to get through the day without any waves.  It's so sad - it's enough to make you weep.....

Closest surfing to Bkk is probably Hua Hin.  I don't know how good it is, but it's there.  Looked like maybe a good place for beginners to learn but I'm no expert.  According to Google AI the best time is Oct-Dec.

I read your post a few weeks ago where you were giving all your money to charity and it's been ruminating in mind 

Your a good person Simon with a good heart

He needs a career as a shark counter in Queensland.

Better if he starts with friendly salties around Darwin  

Get ready, please!  There will never be any surfing in Ao Thai: that is why many people live on its beaches!

Nah, not in TH.  I sampled out of Phuket & PP, and that was 25 yrs ago.   Good buddy lived at Khao Lak, and his buddy owns a dive shop.   He went once, out to Similan Is. and doesn't have to pay, and never bothered again, and I feel the same way, and haven't dove in TH since 2000 & 2001, during first 2 visits.  Gets a 'just ok', and I wouldn't recommend to any experienced divers, unless they're really bored.

 

Especially out of Phuket, as an all day affair, for me, and a nice day on the water, so not all bad.

 

PP was nicer, and closer sites, so if going, head out from there.

Not true

Karon beach has had some decent waves every time I went and was able to do some body surfing.  Varies quite a bit depending on weather, off shore storms or fronts etc.  But it is a very wide and open beach.

There are always many surfers in Pakarang Beach (Memories Beach) in Khao Lak. Apsara Resort is a great resort and conveniently located nearby.
