Huahinian from Thailand

Send Huahinian a Private Message

Hello everybody!  I have been in Thailand for over 23 years and live in the coastal resort of Hua Hin some 250 kms south of Bangkok. Originally from England and born a cockney, I have settled in this marvellous country with my Thai wife and 20 year old son.

 

For those of you who wonder, my name is Ian and I live in Hua Hin hence Huahinian!

 

Sadly, my beautiful wife, Orn, passed away on Sunday, 23rd May 2010.  The photographs of the floral tributes speak words of their own but for those unfamiliar with Buddhist ways, I will try and expand.  The body lies in a temple for a few days and people attend daily to listen to the monks chant their prayers. In Orn's case, there will be four days of prayers and then the cremation will be on Thursday.

Good morning Ian
I feel that I ran you away with baby talk last night.
Hope that was not the case.
Congradulations on winning your golf game yesterday. Maybe next time we can talk about golf and you can teach me something. I am clueless about the golf game.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Hello Ian - to your own page, although a bit belated. I am right in that you are Ian who helped me with skype, aren't you? I don't usually see you on the site these days although I did see you post a comment on easy recently. I must admit I don't always read all the posts as I've been rather busy.
Cheers

We did not get to chat much this evening--your morning. Seemed like a wild party. And so loud. I try to lead a quiet life but every once in a while like to stir it up.
Hope you have a wonderful golf game and see you tomorrow.

Hi Ian. I've seen you post but I have never stopped in to visit you before. So you get my traditional page warming gift of a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry, and if you don't like sweet pastry, some smoked salmon from Atlantic Canada. Welcome to your page and to the site!

One of the best parts of my day and I missed it. Boohoo.
A quick trip into town-Ha--I should know better. My girl friend wanted to go along for the ride, so it took longer than I had planned.
Heard Richard is asking for cigarettes--that is a great sign that he should be on the golf course real soon.
See you tomorrow night--your morning.

Ian, I am so sorry about leaving so rudely last night. I was booted off and could not reconnect.

I am praying for you and Richard that everything goes well and you stay safe.

Until your return

Gday Ian, I'm sorry I haven't actually called in yet. We've chatted but I have yet to visit.
I've brought along some goodies for you to enjoy. A bottle of Aussie bubbly, a plate of nibblies and a bunch of native from my page. Fell free to pop in anytime, someone's usually home to put the kettle on.

once upon a time POOH BEAR wanted to have a garden
so he planted many seeds
he thought how lovely it would be to have butterflies too
but after the garden began to grow a waskely wabbit was eating all his veggies
so he got his "I told you ta get gun"

he snuck up on him as he hid in the wabbit hole
just then a good friend Garfield stopped in and said
"between eeyore and I we can entertain that wabbit
so he'll stay clear of your veggies"as they both mumbled under there breath...
well eat the flowers
and if that doesn't work I'll sting him!
or pretend that I am Tigger and bounce in his hole
or piglet and I can pretend I am him and sneak up on him a scare him away!

Ian, I took my kids to McDonald's last night - a trip which we make about 3 times a year - and looked up at the recipe board. I wasn't wearing my glasses and had to do a double take as I thought for a moment you had become famous - so famous you warranted your very own happy meal toy! Turns out it was an Olympic mascot called 'Huanhuan'...
