Wait till they really come en masse - 600 or more! You have seen nothing yet I have lived and worked in China in the Hospitality trade.......If you want a taste head to the Imperial in Bangkok for breakfast some day

Wait till the Chinese come en masse!

Super cheap has the torches, and I had to have those Bali style flags made. I bought the bamboo & then just got a local seemstress to make the flags

Honda Phuket still dont have one, there is a suprise!

The Forza 300 is NOT expected to be available from dealers before March 2013. Please post here, as soon as you see it available in the shop.

Sumet has them in Bangkok

Cheers

Does anyone have experience with these little beauties? Also what will the availability of spares be like here?

Cheers in advance guys

My party, my rules if you dont like it keep quiet & dont join! EVERYONE is welcome, even Welsh people

Thailand you reap what you sow! I think a few football casuals educating the local Tuktuk mafia here in Patong is just the ticket. I would also like to see the same thread replaced with Russian mafia, Aussie bikers, Scandanavian thugs...... All of which I know live & holiday here

More instant "taxi' huts going up everywhere, more shouts of "taxi, tuk tuk" wherever you go and seeing all these new "legit" taxis taking up all the parking in non designanted taxi zones as there are so many vehicles now they can't all fit in their self designated areas of parking that the public can't park in.

On a positive note, quite a bit of eye candy everywhere you look.

I saw that in a few areas, the yellow tuk tuk parking space lines have been appearing everywhere and Kata and Karon have a hut on about every corner.

I feel for those business owners who have them loitering out front or even in their businesses whilst aggressively spruiking customers with TUK TUK loudly.

Its like they are pre wired or automated to just say tuk tuk to anyone who isn't Thai.

I laugh when I'm walking in the opposite direction on a one way street and they still ask if I want a tuk tuk that would obviously take me in the wrong direction.

My wife saw the Tuk tuk scum actually painting their own lines outside of Banzan market

There is a shop near to Maximum fitness in Patong - Just behind Jungcelylon, run by a young Kiwi guy, Think they may have a minimum run order, will post the name later when I pass by

Instant experts, they have been here for 2 weeks or done the obligatory "tour of Thailand" & can ask for Pah Thai or Green curry in Thai & suddenly they are experts on all things Thai!

How about this?

I will let this go on for a few more days before picking a date, as the muppet at work still cannot decide or are unwilling to decide, when & for what i must be in attendance.

Phuket is more expensive because everything a expat may want is available here

We have explored Thailand as far as Cha Am, no other town or province has the same goods and services available

It may be more expensive than other areas in Thailand but its much cheaper than so called western developed countries

IF people wish to complain about Phuket and Thailand its much cheaper to live in Laos or Cambodia and should suite them

Those same goods and services are available in Bangkok, Pataya and Chiang Mai and doubtless in other locations in Thailand also, their pricing in Phuket is unique to Phuket, let me assure you. A part of the reason for that is the shipping/transportation distance involved from Bangkok, the major reason though is beause it is believed that Phuket residents can stand it. That you have seen nothing similar between Phuket and Cha Am confirms nothing other than the fact that there is indeed very little of anything in that space.

I think some products must be transported from Bangkok to Phuket by tuk-tuk because they are more expensive than in western countries.

What products and what western country are those products less expensive than here in Phuket than there

Frys Turkish delight - about 40p in blighty THB75 here! Quality street chocolates, small jars in Tesco 3 quid - here THB 1200

Bloody socks from M&S 6 pairs THB1400 31 quid ish

The suspect was held without bail.

If he was rich, he'd be out on the streets already.

That does make you wonder??????? Look at the Gary Glitter thing & was in and out of Thai for years

Thanks for that - will 2 full face helmets really fit inside? Or just the 2 honda found for the web shoot

Amanpuri.

If you can afford it, I agree

If it was my daughter he would be gone already, dirty nonse

3 days is nothing, 6 is also very common

Low season begins in April for some. I will pick a date and go from there, if by the 2nd time no one goes then it wasnt worth the effort - but i gave it a go. All the neighsayers, try a little positivity it cant hurt you

You have no idea the lengths Indians go to for their weddings, as for spending lavishly this may be true in the planning - getting them to actually pay the amount at the end is a very different story. Some hotels, will not accept this business as the return of investment is simply not worth the headaches involved!
