Going Underground
BEGINNING OF THE END FOR UGLY OVERHEAD CABLES IN HUA HIN?
Read more: Going UndergroundA small but significant step was taken last week by the Hua Hin City Municipality when plans were further outlined to relocate all the overhead cables running along Damnoen Kasem Road to be placed underground; for those unfamiliar with the street names, this is the road that stretches from the old, historic railway station to the beach, and is for many tourists, their first and most frequent view of Hua Hin. This sort of project has been undertaken or is being planned in many areas of Bangkok (see featured image above of an MEA project on the appropriately named Wireless Road) as the safety, maintenance and aesthetics of the cable chaos that is common in Thailand are finally being addressed (and should be applauded).

TWO ANNUAL EVENTS TO ATTEND AND PLAN FOR
As Hua Hin has continued to grow, annual events grow with them, and two that have been running for several years are highlighted this week. Coming very soon is the 14th Hua Hin World Cup, taking place on the 13th and 14th December, while announced last week was the date for a more recent addition, first run in 2018, the Hua Hin Marathon for 2026, which is scheduled for 10th May 2026. Both events attract more competitors and supporters every year, with registration still open for the football, and for the marathon it opened this week. Viking Club Hua Hin, and more specifically, Thomas Andersson and Anders Hagstedt, are the men behind the Hua Hin World Cup, which began in 2013, and which saw 20 teams and over 250 players, fans and families involved last year; this year there will be 24 teams and more than 330 players competing, in a new location and a new competition format. The fun starts at 9am on Saturday 13th December at the Arena sports complex on their new Arena Hua Hin Soccer Pitch Branch 2 location (click for Google Map), purpose built this year. The competiton continues through to a final on Sunday 14th December,…Read more: Sporting LifeTWO ANNUAL EVENTS TO ATTEND AND PLAN FOR

Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother, Mourning period guidelines
The royal family will observe a one-year mourning period. The government has encouraged the public to dress in black or subdued colours for 90 days as a gesture of remembrance and respect.
Respectful tone for public events and online posts

· Replacing upbeat events with more subdued formats.
About online behavior, it advises:
· Avoid posting jokes, memes, or speculation about the queen’s passing.
· Use respectful language when discussing the queen’s death or royal funeral online.
· Be cautious about what you share or comment on, even if it seems harmless
