I'll be back! Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunDon Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hi everyone on the forum. Been using another, large Thai forum for years but find that all the adverts has now put me off of it. Met a chap at the Birmingham Thai temple today who told me he had started this forum, so thought I’d give it a go. I retired when I was 47 (now 66) and at 50, moved to Thailand in 2000 with my Thai wife, who I met in the UK in 1998 where she was doing her second degree. Moved to HuaHin and had a beach house, just down from the Palace. Fantastic life, as I was on a retirement visa, and spent most of our time traveling. We spend time between Thailand and UK. Hope to enjoy this forum. Khun Don. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back! Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 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. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be back! Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 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. 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the reasons I would only move to by the sea. I know i'd need hobbies, stuff to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
