    Phuket Taxi Mafia still out of control: Female foreign tourist terrified after altercation with ride hailing woman driver

    I visited Phuket the first time almost 30 years ago. It was a rip-off. I was there again maybe 10 years ago, it was a bigger rip-off. And as far as I know nothing changed.

    This obviously only works because the authorities are part of the problem. Nobody who could solve the problems wants to solve the problems.

    What I think is most surprising how many people visit that island - and not just once. Are you not fed up with all the rip-offs? Do you enjoy if when you realize everybody only wants your money? And not with reasonable prices, everything is way too expensive. 

    "What I think is most surprising how many people visit that island - and not just once"

    After you post that you've visited twice...not the sharpest tool in the shed hey ????

    So I went to the location today. Between Chalong circle and home pro on the left. 50 metres or so past Hayaek. It's also worth mentioning that I've driven past this area countless of times in my two years here. There is a motorcycle shop but they don't do paint jobs I was told. She tried to direct me to an area which was behind DLUX condo round the corner a bit. Is the business still there cause I could not find it. 

    This powder coating shop also does small spray painting jobs on bike/car parts.

    Just opposite Lotus chalong.

    More Than 500 Motorbike Accidents in Two Months in Phuket Involving Foreign Tourists, Says Officials

    in Phuket News

    Posted

    Complain all you want about Thai riders and question the number of accidents but I believe the figures mentioned are probably higher, the tourists have NFI how traffic flow works here, the majority of them (tourists) NEED to pass everyone and be first in line.

    Like it or not, for Thais and long term residents there's an understanding of how the traffic moves and what's expected at pinch points, the tourists understandably don't and as a consequence have accidents.

    French Motorbike Rider Charged with Hit and Run After Thai Pedestrian Seriously Injured in Patong

    in Phuket News

    Posted · Edited by beechbum

    Ventured over to patong for the 1st time in a very long while, morons like the guy in the article are literally everywhere, groups of them on the roads and have NFI how to ride, any semblance of a straight and they're going as fast as they can then continually hard braking.

    Would've loved to have seen them have a pile up and hurt just themselves.

    Some automative shops will have a good source for this (if thats what you need). 

     

    I had the dealer powder coat some items on my motorcycle (this was in Bangkok though).

    Smoking on the beach now allowed?

    in Phuket

    Posted · Edited by beechbum

    Really ruins it when you smell the stench of some inconsiderate priks cigarette after a surf or swim, more often than not the same ignorant person probably drops the finished cigarette in the sand because why would they care about the rubbish?

    Then again if they're stupid enough to be smoking in this day and age then you can't really expect much more from them.
