xtcm8 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 My wife and I have been living in Hua Hin for a couple of months and will be here for another 3 or 4 months. During this time we have not come across another Aussie, although we are sure there must be a few here. If there are any Aussies out there looking to meet up, we would like to hear from them.

TigerandDog Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Don't like your chances. The expats in Hua Hin are predominantly Scandinavian. From my experience the only aussies are tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimHuaHin Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) In response to TigerandDog, I am an Australian national living in Hua Hin. I personally have met 6 other Australians living here permanently, and none of them are current bar owners (although one is a former bar owner).

loxley99 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Understand how you feel ..lived here in Hua Hin (Soi 88) for 2 years ..not too many Aussies ..but there are a few. I am retired so past the bar scene ..but have met a few where I have my coffee regularly - 'Burgers & Beer", 2nd floor, Market Village...by the middle entrance from car park ..and opposite Amazon Coffee ..but B&B is much better coffee and they know how to make a 'flat white' ...run by a Pom called Ken and his wife 'Seeya' (splelling??) I will brobably be there Monday or Tuesday around 11.00am ..maybe see you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfx Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hey xtcm8, when I read out your post to my wife, she asked if I wrote it as they are our circumstances exactly. When we first arrived here in early Feb there were Scandies everywhere. They seemed to have gone home now and it is mainly Russians and Germans down our way at Takiab (other side of Monkey Mountain). We normally head into town on the weekends to watch either rugby code, normally at El Murphys. Here we've met a few Aussies, Kiwis, Brits etc but the majority are just passing through. I think because HH is not that well known to Aussies back home, hence not many find their way here. Go to Phuket or Pattaya, then that is a whole different story. I guess also, a lot depends on your age, lifestyle etc as to whether you would be in a position to meet other Aussies. I'm sure there are a few around. Just got to find them. Cheers.

ICECOOL Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I am aussie living in Hua Hin. There is the Aussie Bar in Soi 112 (opposite side of 7 eleven and up 50 metres) and a few Aussies also frequent Bobbies Bar (run by Englishman Bobby) in Soi 102. Pm me if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDS Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Find Soi 80 and go into the first bar on the left as you walk up the hill. It's called Bar 80 and you can pretty much guarantee you will find Australians there at least in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtcm8 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks to everyone for their input, this is a great place to get info. Anyone interested in an Aussie dinner one night? If yes, send me a personal message with a suggested venue and we'll organise something. Kevin Chaffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcroc Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Seems there are a few of us around. I am away until first week July, maybe we can get together then either in town or somebodys place, mine would be available for a barbie or whatever. I guess I should advise I follow Collingwood.

jagfx Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Kevin, We're back in HH tomorrow evening (6th) from our Saigon trip. Will have to catch up for dinner or something later in the week. Icecool, I'm a big origin supporter therefore keen to watch the game live. When you say Aussie bar, which one are you referring to exactly? As long as you are wearing maroon, I'll talk to you And Topcroc, sounds like a great idea. It would be good to have an Aussie type BBQ one night when you are back in town. xtcm8 Kevin has suggested something similar, but if you miss that one, I'm sure we can do another when you're actually here. Cheers. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanno Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Good thread guys. I spend about 6 months of the year in Thailand and would like to be in Hua Hin more often. But the apparent lack of Aussies there has meant most of my time is in Pattaya. Now I like mixing with most nationalities but when it comes to watching and discussing sport I am far more comfortable with being around fellow Aussies. I especially like mixing with Brits but when they start on about their Premier League footy then you feel completely left outta the loop. So, since there are heaps of Aussie bars in Pattaya one can watch AFL, NRL and cricket and comfortably talk the talk. I'm back in LOS in 3 weeks and will get down to Hua Hin and check out the bars mentioned here. It would be great if an Aussie scene developed down there. I know heaps of Aussies who are cheesed off with Pattaya and looking for somewhere else to go. Cheers Flanno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcliff069 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I can remember in the 19XXs when I did the European thing finding fellow Aussies was a joy. Now care factor is not high. Actually a few in Pattaya make it a particularly cringe worthy thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
