This documentary covers the 'Evacuation Routes' in case of another tsunami at the 19:00 minute mark.

I've not travelled extensively around Phuket to confirm whether these signs are still in place or not.

The documentary is only a few years old.

 

 

There's new tsunami signs and road markings everywhere now.

Woke up with a massive hangover totally oblivious to what had happened, soon found out when I got on the scooter to go for a swim, horrible time.

Does this walk-in process include for foreigner Pfizer booster after govt. AZ double jab here ? Or is it just govt. Pfizer 2nd shot after Sinovac 1st jab ? 

It was earlier reported as only for those that had had no vaccine at all or only 1 dose.

Thought that was a town in Australia.

No, it's a song by The Jam.

Some types of bamboos look really good and grow very quickly.

Nice to see that Thais that are connected to Mor Prompt has just to show that. What about foreigners in the system? Why are we treated different?

If you were vaccinated here then you're in the system,  download it and fill in the details.

Thought medical only required very first application, not renewals ?

I've actually never been asked for one over many years!

Hope they follow this, interested to hear what's behind it all.

Your right it is his wife Noi.  Wonder if the nightclub is open.  Most of the bars reverted back to them except Dings at the front and one or two others.  Key money paid by others all a wash.

Yes and a 2nd partner.

No the nightclubs closed but the Russians are selling food from it again, quite good actually.

Many come from the Muay Thai training locations to unwind.  Lived there for many years. Talked to a few friends who work in the Muay Thai facilities just this week. Yes it is open and very tame.  Friend of mine owns the entire Laguna Plaza in Rawai, not many places inside are open.

Your German friend doesn't own the "entire" Laguna plaza.

Of the sea side Laguna bars all are open except 1, the other side's going to be renovated.

Not really a good example. Laguna in Rawai has been going downhill for years. During pre-covid days, customer numbers were already decreasing at the outside bars.

I think most of them just priced themselves out of the market, especially when bars with sea views were selling drinks that were a third cheaper than Laguna.

It's been quite busy at Laguna the last few weeks and it's definitely busier around Rawai.

Kata and Karon still quite but can see signs it's slowly picking up over there.
