Cheers mate, 

I do like fishing by the way, especially sea fishing. It was one of the reasons I would only move to by the sea.

I know i'd need hobbies, stuff to do.

This is fishing in a pool. Got some massive Carp, Amazon Red and Mekong Catfish amongst others.  I caught a Pacu (related to Piranha) and a huge Arapaima last time.  Another guy caught an Alligator Gar, who head (and teeth!) look exactly like an alligator.  Great day out and would thoroughly recommend it. 

Now the like button has appeared... thank whoever fixed it.

Yea, I've heard good things about Hua Hin.

Like you, i'd prefer by the sea. Wife has family in Sattahip, Uncle in the Navy, go there quite a bit so was toying with there.

But going to Hua Hin in January for a week, get a feel for it. It's only a week, so see how I feel. 

Hope you enjoy it there as much as I do. There's an Aussie guy on You Tube with a channel call "Johnny There is Somehting Happening".  He lives in Hua Hin and posts some good restaurant reviews. If you like fishing too, visit Hua Hin Fishing Lodge.  Great day out and owned by a Brit.

Thanks Nightcrawler, but how do I like someone else's post?

and whilst I'm on the questions trail.... what's  Member's reputation about (question, questions, sorry!).

No likes button for me yet.

Thanks for the info. So quote is like when you reply to someone's post and it appears in darker box inside yours right?  I don't get the little heart to give a thumbs up. It's not visibleble on any posts I see. 🙁

Apologies if I'm a bit naive, but I'm a bit new to this Forum malarkey, so could someone be kind enough to explain how the "Quote" and "Donate Points" works please?  I also noticed I'd got a thumbs up, but cant see where that came from either. 😊

Thanks and Hello to you.  If I was a single man (which I'm not at the moment) it would have to be Pattaya.  I'd like to live close to beach and, personally, I really like Hua Hin. It's clean (probably due to the Royal Family residence), has enough night life to keep a man interested, many excellent restaurants plus a multitude of shopping malls, where you can get anything you want.  Also, if you did fancy a weekend on the wildside, the ferry is only one and a half hours away from Patts.

Hi all. New to the group. First visited Thailand around 2009 and have been back several times every year since. Ultimately I plan to retire to Thailand (but also will consider Bali, Cambodia and Vietnam) but, unfortunately personal circumstance mean I'm stuck in the UK for a few more year. Nice to meet everyone.
