Thailand does not officially celebrate Christmas, although you wouldn’t realise it from a visit to Market Village, but like many countries Christmas has gradually imposed itself here. In that spirit, our front page this week is a letter to Santa Claus, asking for presents that may or may not be delivered for all in the Hua Hin area. In no particular order and to no body in particular, here is AWOL’s Christmas Wish List; Better planning/implementation/information of road improvements; Run more extensive and later operating local public transport; Install sufficient and affordable city centre parking spaces; New public parks and spaces in the centre of the city; Generate a ‘Keep Hua Hin Tidy’ campaign, with more public bins; Pedestrianise most of the ‘Binthablock’ area; Erect automatic barriers on all unmanned railway crossings; A boardwalk/promenade running next to the beach; City water for everyone, on demand, all the time; Enforce road rules for all road users, not just cars and trucks. We are sure that there are many other things our readers wish for - why not share them with others on the AWOL Forum? In the meantime we hope everybody has a wonderful time at Christmas - we will be back next week with our last issue of 2014. GET RACING FROM ONLY 400 BAHT!
