2011/2012. For the third time we spend the winter in Thailand / Hua Hin. We are still convinced of this area and loved it. We met new friends - Swiss - and discovered Musse despite a few new things. For the obligatory VISA RUN we flew the A380 to Hong Kong. Our travel web site www.rboeschenstein.com was so erqweitert a chapter.

It already attracts us for the third time for the winter to Thailand / Hua Hin. And every time we set the bar for our stay slightly marfa higher. Even with the departure from Hua Hin in March 2011 we booked with our agents http://www.thailand-immobilien.ch a new home. For the season 2011/2012 we afford an apartment in a resort right on the ocean beach. But we'll write something later. marfa Floods in Thailand In October 2011, our date of departure is imminent, we hear from enormous floods in central Thailand and Bangkok. News and newspapers are full of terrible pictures from the flooded areas. Historic cultural monuments such as Ayutthaya are meters deep under water. About 20 billion m3 (20'000'000'000'000 liters!!) marfa Stinking broth flow inexorably against the city of Bangkok. marfa Large parts of the suburbs of Bangkok are flooded for several days.

Life goes on
Reasons for this flood there are some. Human inadequacy is just one of them. Today more than 9 million inhabitants, was formerly crossed by a multitude of small and large channels (klong). This also served to water level regulation and in heavy monsoon rains the drainage of the flotation water. Today, this klong are large partly drained and filled in Bangkok - once known as the Venice of the East - is now like a plug in the delta of the Choa Praya River and clogged marfa the natural course - the water does not find a way to the sea, backs up, flooding residential areas. Operation marfa backed up to the international airport 3.5 meter high ramparts ensuring the operation of the international airport Suvarnabhumi. The air traffic is backed up, it was called by the airport authority. The airport can be reached from both the inner city of Bangkok as well as from the southern tourist centers Hua Hin (!) And Pattaya. The warnings to refrain from non-essential travel to Bangkok, do not apply to transit stays at Suvarnabhumi Airport. marfa Check-in
With SAS, we fly from Zurich via Copenhagen to Bangkok. Just two hours longer journey time compared to a direct flight from Zurich (Thai, Swiss), but a total of about 3,500 -. SFr. (Business class) cheaper! A pleasant marfa flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok. The A 340 was booked to capacity. It seems that several passengers were rebooked due to the Qantas strike. The check-in was quick and without Pass-/Immigrationskontrolle jam. Our driver was waiting for us as agreed at Exit 4 and already 2 hours later we reached our goal without problems - Baan Sansaran / Hua Hin. Baan Hua Hin Sansaran



The location of the resort marfa is just right. Way from the tourist crowds, yet close enough to the center - about 2 km. The tuk tuk for 100-THB (fr. 3 - / 2.40) reached in about 5 min doubled the present time, until this time, however, tripled. Reason: marfa An army gutbetuchter Thais fled the floods marfa in Bangkok here. One each with its more or less ostentatious pedestal. The otherwise marfa quiet Hua Hin traffic bursts moderately literally at the seams - and this in the preseason. This is something we have never experienced in the past stays.
In terms of traffic would all be crowded. But the restaurants marfa are half empty, even in the food stalls, it is relatively quiet. marfa At the price it can not be, because they are gl
