"Full Moon Hash" – A Tale of Love, Betrayal, and Mystical Secrets
In the bustling streets of ancient hua Hin, where silk bar girls, scholars, and Moonies cross paths, a mysterious and enchanting moon shines down upon the land—the Full Moon Hash. This potent elixir, smell of stale beer and roasted peanuts rumored to be brewed only once every century, holds the power to unlock long-forgotten secrets, stir the hearts of the purest souls, and transform fates with a single sip.
The Moonlit Secrets
As the full moon casts its glow upon the kingdom, a grand banquet is held at the Emperor's palace, inviting the wealthiest Moonies and talented drinkers from all over the land. Unbeknownst to the guests, a hidden scroll containing the ancient recipe for the Full Moon Hash has been discovered by a mysterious wanderer named Penny Pincher. With her arrival, rumors spread that the hash could not only grant immortality but also unravel the deepest desires of the heart and destroy the liver!
Among the guests are:
Cute comer, a clever and ambitious noblewoman who is determined to use the Full Moon Hash to regain her family's lost fortune. Beneath her refined beauty lies a ruthless spirit, willing to betray anyone to achieve her goal.
Seaman staines, a dashing, yet troubled, warrior who harbors a secret love for Lady Mei Lian, though he is unaware of her devious plans. His loyalty is tested as he finds himself drawn into the mystery surrounding the Full Moon Hash.
max factor, a quiet and unassuming herbalist with a deep connection to nature and chillies. She holds the key to understanding the true power of the Full Moon Hash, though she is torn between protecting its secrets and helping those who seek it for personal gain.
Cathusalum, wisest wizard who can time travel across dimensions and hashes with his member (trumpet) in hand! "cum all yee to the Chaam hash!"
Hugmannygoat, trail master with more adventures than lawrence of arabia, looking for the perfect trail!
Beauty queens, paracetamol, takes it all in, does not touch the sides, here to entice and enjoy the fun and eternal beauty the Hash brings.
Penny Lame and Knockout Neptune, the laurel and hardy of hashing, no challenge 2 big, no beer too cold,
But in the shadow of their intrigue, strange things begin to happen. Rumors swirl of walkers—not the slow, mindless creatures from ancient tales, but a strange group of nomadic travelers scouring the city for something else. These walkers are not after the mysterious hash, but an equally sought-after prize: an elusive beer truck, said to deliver rare and exclusive brews to the Emperor's banquet only once every decade. Their relentless search for the truck becomes an unexpected subplot, as they stalk the city streets in search of their prize. never had they had to unravel such things as checks or false trails surely their quest would end in disaster! or a shortcut home!
Amid all this chaos, there is no sign of the feared runners—rumored figures who would stop at nothing to seize control of the Full Moon Hash and its untold powers. Perhaps they are lying in wait, or maybe their absence is a sign that the true challenge lies elsewhere, maybe just hungover or they had been drinking on soi 112, were time stands still after 12!
As alliances are forged and new characters emerge from the shadows, Virgins appear in the form of Lynn and Michael, and time warped visitors from Germany(chris) the air thickens with deceit, yearning, and an ever-growing sense of mystery. The Full Moon Hash is more than just a mystical potion; it becomes a symbol of power, love, vengeance—and now, something far more unexpected for the hash visitors 2 jugs and Imperfect member!
Will the walkers ever find the elusive beer truck? Who will take possession of the Full Moon Hash? And when the full moon finally wanes, what will remain of the fragile bonds that once held these hearts together?
The moon is rising, the beer truck is out there somewhere, and the game of hearts and minds has only just begun...
Maybe after the dinner and more elixir will the truth be told, the Full Moon is here to stay!
Sunday Bush Hash #5
Hi,
Sunday's are not just for your weekly rumpy pumpy!
Our 1st Bush Hash of 2025.
Good scenic location next to a lake, great views Northwards,
area full of Pineapple and Aloe vera plantations, streams and ditches.
Ideal Hashing territory, throw in a hill and 8 checks and false trails,
perfect! lovely jubbly.
25 local and International visitors joined for the afternoon's fun.
a large Irish contingent looking for Thai fairies and leprechauns.
All they got was "sodomy" running around like a chicken with no head!
Obviously the trail was not hard enough
as the runners got to the beer truck in under an hr,
soi 80 quote " it need to be harder for longer!"
Hash rule: Stay on paper and follow paper!
It's a wonder how some people get up in the morning!
Between the paper was orange tape for the blind!
Luckily Penny Lame and Penny Pincher were on hand to shout and point people in the right direction,
Aunties bitch had built a fabulous bridge strong enough for a minute or 2.
A well enjoyed trail by runners and walkers,
Knockout Neptune waiting back at base like an expectant father waiting for his kids to come home.
Aunties Bitch standing guard over the beer and Maxfactor ready to feed an army.
A flurry of activity as Ding a ling shot off, quickest he's moved for a while!
Mumblings of "car keys" "lost" "#$%^" "#$%^"
up the creek without a paddle comes to mind!
5 minutes later "roger me" asks what all the fuss?
"has someone lost something!"
like a matrix movie keys appear out of nowhere!
"found these on the end of the trail I spotted the green Free keyring, you had just given out!"
Hurray for free stuff!
Definitely the 1st time a yorkshire man has smiled!
A very tight circle as people sat around glad that the Holidays were over,
lots of social drinking as we had time to spare,
as the restaurant was booked for 7 pm and this was 6 pm!
Knockout started the circle, obviously charging sodomy with everything we could think off,
Penny Lame charged the Moonies who had gone mountaineering
in prachuap and all been in pain all week!
(stupid old farts comes to mind)
Happy Birthday to Sodomy who's looking for a rich widow to take care of him!
Penny Pincher with 2 jokes that brought some light entertainment!
After the circle one of our visitors decided to walk around
and pick up trash, much to the amazement of our thai ladies!
and we had heard he still didn't have a hash name,
so a quick vote on names and Tim was named "the bin man"
and our 2 new hashers from mountainous Holland stood in amazement!
As the sunset over the Burmese Mountains our convoy headed off to the Restaurant!
Set menu of 5 thai dishes with shared beers for 250 baht each!
Smiles all around as the visitors thought there would be an extra charge for beer etc,
but one thing is, we love to spoil our hashers!
Value for money is the name of the game!
A truly great start to the Year, next up a New restaurant in soi 18/1
on Sunday 26th Jan for Chinese New Year!
(Year of the moonies!")

Discovery: Participants get to explore new areas and see parts of their city or surroundings they might not have visited before.
Penny Lame, Knockout Neptune, and Aunties Bitch were ready to set a trail that would be remembered for ages, or at least an hour or so! Each brought their unique flair to the event, ensuring an evening filled with laughter, challenges, and unforgettable moments.
Penny Lame
Penny Lame, known for his quirky sense of humour and knack for creating deceptive trails, was in charge of planning the trail; he ensured that every twist and turn kept the pack guessing. His sections were filled with false trails and clever checks that made the runners think twice about every step they took. He’s only let loose twice a yr to do the 7/11 Hash with 7 or more beer stops!
Knockout Neptune
Knockout Neptune, with his athletic prowess, maybe 60 yrs ago! and adventurous spirit, (mostly in bottles!) keeps the puppy Penny Lame in check! His energetic leadership keeps everyone motivated and moving forward. Edged on by the eagle eyes Max Factor.
Aunties Bitch
Aunties Bitch (Uncle Bob, our guiding light from Bangkok.). Known for his no-nonsense attitude and clever wit, makes sure PL and KN don’t go astray! Making our Full Moons surely International. Also a main hare on our Sunday Hashes, bringing a Siam Sunday twist to events.
Hua Hin Full Moon Anniversary Run
Hua Hin Full Moon Anniversary Run & 1st 7/11 Run
11th July Changsawang Restaurant soi 67
Hares
Knockout Neptune & Penny Lame & Aunties Bitch
Foreword.
A lot of drinking practice and trail walking was done before this special event, 1 run is hard enough but doing an Anniversary run on the beach and the 1st Thai 7/11 run plus Penny lame Birthday run was a feat unknown before, add beer to any hash and disaster strikes.
A big shout out To our overseas visitors Meatloaf and CIA from Australia, Psycho Strangler, Psycho Nemo and family for coming all the way from Nong plok, we will see you soon. A great New Hash if you get the chance you should visit them. (maybe an outstation next year) And Tanya is a first time Hasher well done and No name Daniel. Also Ae’s bar and Restaurant (soi 80) for doing our beer stop Thank You all.
28 brave moonies completed this challenge.
As usual we tried to break even, but mostly we like losing money in the name of Enjoyment,
500 baht got you your run, water and 1 bottle of beer at the beer stop, A wide brim hat with full moon badge (we still have some for sale 150 baht) keyring bottle opener and the first 10 registered got an led torch, beer at the circle plus the addition of Dinner on the beach which included
Crab fried rice, morning glory, tom yam gung, fish fried with celery and somtam.
Also we bought beer to go on the tables with the meal.
1st problem was we had to set 2 trails in 2 days, luckily the rain showers were minimal and nothing got washed away, but late night drinking practice does not mix well with setting morning trails, but we had Aunties Bitch is an expert in setting trails and drinking, our award for outstanding hasher must go to Meatloaf who had been here a week and became familiar with every bar in town!
Pre lube monday and our registration had been hampered by rain, but drinking was not abated, sightings of paper around town had the moonies excited, 7/11 run was a bit confusing on what and when and why what we should do.
Easiest instructions where if you pass a 7/11 have a beer! And keep going.
Estimated was maybe 4 or 5 moonies would accept the challenge of 7 beer stops, but with New haircuts in all styles the Harriettes stood up and accepted the challenge, no wokeness here, an old fashioned boys vs girls, in the orange corner we had meatloaf and leading the green shirt corner Drag Queen.
After everyone had tried on their New Green Anniversary shirts and full moon hats.
The pack where sent south along the beach with a few runners leading, flying frog, daniel and cute comer, but the sand is soft, picture opportunities a plenty, straight on to the main road and the market village bridge, the runners ignored the 7 sign and shot past 7/11 missing the arrows pointing over the bridge, chaotic scenes as people tried to get beers, the harriettes soon disappeared with cans and bottles in hand, but penny lames pack of experienced drinkers had a plan, walk slow but drink fast. A formidable group of Hugmannygoat, CIA, meatloaf, ding a ling. & penny lame, thoughts of the movie a bridge too far was this a beer 2 much!
A long trek to soi 94 and another beer, past wonderland and a bit of zig zagging, beer stop 3 and disaster struck. It was a 7/11 outside a school which did not serve beer, never mind the hares had a bonus 7/11 on the on in.quick short cute to stop 4 and 5, soi 88 railway is the hardest to cross in daylight nevermind drunk and in the dark, many fell foul and headed towards home, but the trail went across double railway lines, our back marker Cathusulum has helped thankfully by a couple of railway workers who thought he was on a suicide mission,85 and not out.
Just for a change we changed our beer stop to a well known watering hole on soi 80, Ae’s restaurant where knockout was waiting like an expecting father for his babies to arrive. Luckily nobody was abducted by the ladies of the night. 200m further down was our next 7/11 where we were hijacked by a couple of prop forwards from one of the bars. But they were more of a challenge than a night full of beers.
1 beer stop on the on in and the last 5 stumbled home almost in one piece, to drink more beer before the circle, food had been delayed by 30 minutes, so down downs for visitors etc and some fine hash songs by Drag queen.
With the night still young the hares kept supplying beers to the tables with food piled high, chatter and talk abound, a chorus of Happy birthday and a Delicious cake presented to Penny Lame for 57 years to young by Knockout Neptune who took charge as PL had done well with the 7/11 challenge.
A big Thanks to all that attended on on

The Curse of the Chinese Graveyard!
The trail was set in the blistering morning sun by Penny Lame & Penny Pincher, with the usual markings paper in poles and chalk marks on walls or on the Floor, The usual yellow round FT and check marks along the way! But a comment by Penny Pincher in the morning should have been a warning” Not lucky to go through a graveyard!” but the trail had been walked the previous week and the distance set.
Lucky
The day was unusually hot and the clouds stayed back behind the hills only luck we would have today! & 19 moonies attended the Full Moon.
Unlucky
First to arrive was our Hash cash Au Natural, (thanks for standing in) We had our water on ice and torches, chalk all ready to go but 6pm and PP mentioned “where was everybody!”
The moonies slowly assembled with returners Cathusulum, Rubber Duck & Ring welcomed back, and a New Moonies Virgin Airbus Faggot.
Water and chalk in hand the pack were sent right along a side road, PP walked behind to take pictures as this was the first False Trail and the only thing the moonies got right!
But disaster at the start as the pack u turned and turned Left, Penny Lame quickly shouted On on to send the pack in the right direction towards the Graveyard.
But like the Titanic disaster soon struck, arrows had been drawn on the floor pointing across the graveyard and paper placed along the grass with stones holding it in place an easy 100m across to the next soi. But for some eerie reason, maybe the spirit of hashers passed the moonies became blind and headed towards hill lek fai and in all directions.
With the pack having to avoid packs of werewolves howling at the full moon, they came to the main road soi 70, large arrows had been placed pointing across the road with more arrows than an Indian raiding party pointing up the road to the 3rd turning, paper on posts who could miss all these marking even Mr Magoo would find his way!
But with the moon shining in their eyes and thoughts of a beer stop the runners headed straight up the opposite road, wondering why there is no paper or chalk, “Normally this means go back and find the paper!” but with the curse hanging over them they continued forward, some wandered aimlessly eventually heading back home,
PL & PP were waiting at the beer stop, 30 minutes” we should see them soon” but then the Bat phone rang, “Tinks had found a check but was unsure, he sounded close he was actually 50 m from the beer stop” FRB soon joined him and were sent in the correct direction, but then the curse struck again nobody came round the corner, Pl went to look and found Hugs wandering aimlessly and was sent to the Beer stop then 5 minutes later, Au Natural, Cute Comer and African Queen showed up after making their own trail up and second guessing the run.
50 minutes in and still no one else at the beer stop time to do some international Rescue,
A quick pack up and we headed back along the trail in reverse but no sign of life, just wolfs howling in the distance, A strange power at work had the moonies been abducted by aliens, had the bright orange shirts been cursed.
Back at base a group of confused moonies stood around waiting for their beer, complaining of no paper! Could Not find chalk! Why suddenly had everything become blind!
Ding a ling and rambling rose had become more invisible and headed home!
Nearly 8 pm and still a few Moonies out in the Moonlight, some had headed as far as the Elephant camp!
Hugs was the back marker following garmin and not google maps made an excellent 7.9km trail on his own! Refusing a lift back from International Rescue,
By this time the Restaurant was panicking, some had pre ordered food and it was ready!
Moonies soon were soothed by a cold beer and a down down at the table, and down down beer shared out, with talk about trail setting and apparitions on the trail, PP told her Hash jokes and everyone enjoyed their late supper.
So was it The graveyard cure or some other Conspiracy theory? Was Hua Hin actually flat with no compass points? Any way a Hash is a Hash it would be boring if everything went to plan!!

Hua Hin Full Moon Hash #10
Oranges & lemons
A sticky hot humid polluted Hua Hin evening, the Full Moon shining through the pollution on the Moonies!
A new location and Restaurant behind True Arena, and New hashers to join us, all the way from Hua Hin FRB and Daughter, Wurzel and Kung, Sex pistol on his escape from Bangkok and visitor kirsty.
Good to see young Hash Horrors on the Full Moon in later life they can look back and see where things went wrong!
Knockout caught off guard as the first few hashers wanted to buy T shirts, thank You guys looked great in your orange shirts.
A lot of regulars overseas but a great group of 18 came out to enjoy the full moon run.
Confusion At the start as the car park was a check, this slowed the start down but Tinks found the first paper,on on was called, penny pincher and penny lame shot off to set up the beer stop at 7/11 next to the fresh market.
Just under 30 minutes the FRB’s arrived at the beer stop (frb, au natural, kirsty and sex pistol) hot and sweaty after running over a ploughed field the full moon is not always 100% concrete, The front runners had picked up FT signs and didn’t cross all the markings out which left confusion at the back with walkers following false trails, 10 minutes later the walkers came in and headed straight down the road, screams from penny lame as this was not the way! On on is over the Bridge! Looks of disbelief as they thought an easy on in past true arena, but they had to cross the new shinny Railway station and through a car park and temple with decoys ready to chase them.
A wildlife experience with buffalo next to the run site, dogs playing with a mouse! A dead chick on the run! And a dead snake and not so friendly dogs!
Cold ones enjoyed after the run once again we never lost anyone shame! Visitors and hash virgins welcomed,an enjoyable run, jokes by penny pincher and Knockout charged for not using hash names!
Everyone retreated to the restaurant with beer and food a plenty and chit chat into the night
See you all at run #11 details to follow
Penny Lame
Hua Hin Full Moon Hash #9
Is This Thailand?
Question is the moonies are getting smarter, ( only slightly) they think they know the way and can work out a trail! But our intrepid hares max factor and penny pincher had other ideas about this.
A New restaurant was found with parking, but everyone seemed to drive to the run site, so there was slight confusion about whether we parked parallel or vertically or horizontally!
Confusion even before we begin. Knockout Neptune was injured and had been shot in the knee by a Japanese sniper on the 500th Run. 5 days of Haring and walking was too much for a young man as himself.
Returners included african queen, an easy flat run for her after her double figured mountain marathons, so a fine pack of front runners with easy off, bite mark and flying frog surely be home first.
A few visitors who had heard rumours of this hash, god help them. Talk in the circle about a Burmese village, death railway and ghosts what had the hares done today!
Misdirections given out by penny pincher, look for paper and chalk, not so easy in the dark.
Torches in hand and off they set straight into a check, quick loop and left then another False trail, zig zagging towards hill lek fai, past the school and into the unknown, past a sweet smelling horse stable and down an uneven side ally, but the question was were would the beer stop be, where is the nearest 7/11?
For the moonies with night vision they might have noticed that the writing on the houses was not in Thai but in Burmese! Eyes peeked out of the darkness wondering what was happening, who are these crazy people, leave us alone!
Bite mark got more than he bargained for, seeing a woman just in a towel, don't know who was shocked the most!
Still no beer stop nearly 4 km completed, 40 minutes later they arrive at Hua Hin Train station and turn left, and left and see penny lame and penny pincher the beer stop was outside the Thai supermarket. A welcome break for the runners who were dazed and confused, like virgins on a first date!
Bite marks eager eyes spotted tinks walking along the main road, so shot off to correct his off trail antics, tinks second guessing that the beer stop must be at the next 7/11, wrong again. But tinks thought bite mark was a railway worker in day glow uniform, more confusion on the hash.
Hugs was close behind, a fitter faster moonie, happy to have no hills today, pining for cute comer to return home. The walkers quickly followed beer consumed and onto the last leg of the journey.
Spook had short cutted home and missed the beer stop, cold beers and snacks awaited the moonies return,
A thumbs up for the hares another job well done, charges from the circle included bite mark for been incorrectly dressed, ding a ling for not knowing how to silence his messages and
Penny pincher for her nearly funny joke, sure she is in training to be a GM!!
Penny lame announced a guest appearance on Saturdays Hua Hin Hash as the hare KN was still injured and the next Full Moon would be next to a buffalo farm in Hua Hin!!
Work that out!
So 20 plus moonies sat down for a few drinks or more and dinner, but he menu’s were in Thai so the Girls quickly translated for the visitors, as in true Thai style thinking ordering 2 or more of the same dish would speed things up, but they prepared each dish individually,
Food came out like a tango quick ,quick ,slow, African queen ordering first got served last!
Service hit and miss but the food enjoyed, with banter and chat continuing late into the evening.
With the full moon above us, lashings of beer later, some departed later than others.

Hua Hin Full Moon Hash #7
Thursday 5th January.
Queens Park Hua Hin.
Hares Penny Lame & Knockout Neptune.
Was it a bridge 2 far?
An International flavour to our Full moon Hash this month, with visitors from far off lands of Karachi (Flat feet) and Germany (sleeping Beauty) word spreading about our friendly little Hash!
A pleasant location past the king's Palace in a small park next to the sea (Queen’s park)
With the Full moon shining on us our moonies started to arrive. Water and beer on ice, snacks ready, ready steady go!
A slightly different trail was announced with a runners trail, because of a poor recce by the hares that missed a 10 ft deep ditch which was dangerous to cross. Unknowing that the Trail was a little longer because of 2 bridges that had to be crossed around 7.5 km.
The pack was sent North parallel to the beach, but not for long as it was a false trail, something for the pack to think about, down some narrow dark roads with checks, and back towards the beach, twisting and turning, past some impressive houses and condos, then low and behold a Field? Thought this was a town run! Across the field and over the first bridge to Hua Hin Hospital! “Why are we going here?” but a sneaky left turn through a gate took the pack south again, into more false trails and checks, winding 3 km to the beer stop with Penny Lame and Penny Pincher waiting with cold beverages. 40 minutes a slow pace but walkers and running arriving at the same time with bloodshot eyes and coughing, They had all been caught by the delights of food stalls and chilli wafting in the air.
The beer stop was well placed as this was the walkers and runners split, walkers taking an easyroute south, with the runners heading across a dark field again, but looping north along the railway tracks, now they know why they were given torches! But a bit of misplanning because the runners had chalk to break checks, but the walkers came to the merge first then a flurry of checks and false trails, good practice for the walkers, but they couldn't mark them so the runners would have to do them also.
Zigzag was the name of the game heading south to the 2nd bridge, over and heading home but another FT to fool them, Then along home straight, was a close call but the front runners managed to get home first, easy off in 1st followed by her loyal bite mark, then black buttocks, scrotum head, flying frog and african queen,a great run by the visitors flat feet and sleeping beauty, then our regular moonies ding a ling, rambling rose, tinks, max factor.
Time was pressing on as we had to be to the Navy Club, so beers were served and snacks devoured, and a quick circle by Knockout Neptune, grilling the visitors and getting a resounding 10/10 for the run. And announcing our New orange T shirts would be for sale for 300 baht.
So we made a convoy to the Navy club with our table on the sea wall,with sea shanties about old hashing days, stories about smelly durians and other waffle.

History of the Hash House Harriers
The Hash House Harriers (HHH or H3) is a social running group that was founded in 1938 by a group of British expatriates in Malaysia. The group was named after the Selangor Club Chambers, which was also known as the "Hash House" because of the cheap, mediocre food served there.
The founders of the HHH were A. S. Gispert, Eric Galvin, and John Woodrow. They formed the group as a way to stay in shape and socialize while they were working in Malaysia. The HHH quickly gained popularity and spread to other countries, with chapters forming in cities around the world.
The HHH follows a set of traditions and practices that have remained largely unchanged since the group's inception. Members of the HHH participate in a "hash run" once a week, in which they follow a trail that has been laid out by the "hare" (the person who sets the trail). The trail is marked with chalk or flour, and the runners, or "hounds," follow the trail, trying to catch the hare. Along the way, the hounds might encounter "checks," which are marked with a circle, indicating that the hounds should stop and search for the next marker.
After the run, members gather for a social event called the "circle," which includes a variety of rituals, such as naming ceremonies for new members and drinking songs.
The HHH has a reputation for being a social and non-competitive group, with a focus on having fun and building camaraderie. Today, there are thousands of HHH chapters all over the world, and the group has a strong online presence, with many chapters maintaining their own websites and social media accounts.
The Hash House Harriers (also known as "Hashing") is a global organization of social running clubs. Members of the club participate in regular runs, which usually involve running a predetermined route through the countryside or city, following a trail of flour or other markings. The runs are usually followed by a social gathering, where members socialize and drink beer. The organization is known for its irreverent sense of humor, and members often refer to themselves as "drinkers with a running problem." Hashing is typically open to anyone who is interested in participating, and it is often described as a mix of athleticism and socializing.
