when I came to Thailand TO LIVE all I brought with me was four duffel bags full of clothes, a laptop, iPhone, iPad, Luminox 3000 watch and a Canon Power Shot SX50 with 50X optical zoom. A very simple camera with one amazing feature, its incredibly powerful but compact zoom lens. No tripod and only a shoulder strap, battery charger, and a very small carrying case. I was a professional editor working in Hollywood and owned two Sony Cinema Pro cameras worth $150,000 each. I got to travel a lot using those cameras and I worked for a very long time so I was very burned out on shooting. But taking a simple photo on my phone is still my favorite way of expressing myself. After I retired I did not want to be controlled by my possessions including about $15,000 worth of Ham radio gear which is so much tech your can't believe it. Much of it surplus military radios. Most of that gear is restricted in Thailand. So I sold EVERYTHING I owned in the USA which was a long and interesting process. I promised myself I would not buy anymore stuff, instead i was going to have many experiences and cameras, photos and media was secondary to that. Anyway after four years of not having so much as a TV or Netflix or anything like that in Thailand I slowing started buying things again. A horrible habit. I travel a lot all over Thailand and if it does not fit into my medium size backpack it is not going.

Ant Man and the Wasp. Good for a laugh.

I lived in Berlin in 1965. This movie nailed the vibe there.

well as example something going on in Cha Am would be of IMMEDIATE interest to people in Hua Hin. But if Hua Hin people looked at the South section they would not see that topic. And some of the cities (areas) in that section are 500 plus kilometers away. So anything say like weather would be of no interest. If someone posted something about the weather in Cha Am it is only 20 minutes away from Hua Hin.

Well I think Hua Hin is more Central like Cha Am and Phetchaburi. But I think Pranburi should be included also but that is as far south as it should go. It would be not good to have Cha Am and Hua Hin in two different sections.

so did we decide to post Hua Hin stuff in Central or Southern?

Hello everyone, I have been living in Hua Hin for 5 years. I just heard about this forum from Stickman's blog... " with the goal being to create a forum with no baiting, rudeness, bullying and nastiness." So if that hold true then I will be happy.
