Chads

That's really sad.

I'm looking for a 2 bedroom apartment anyway.

I surely need some tips for haggling taxis and tuktuks! But don't worry I'm never going to ride a jetski, friend of mine told me a crazy horror story so I'm avoid that.

As for enjoying myself, I have a girlfriend so I'm pretty content, thank you

democracy is under threat

How can something not existing be under threat?

the path to democracy is under threat - that path takes a long time and requires solid laws and rigid structures in place that cannot be meddled with by sitting governments

Well said.

Thank you. Are there any safety measures I should take or things I should be aware of with regards to safety/security?

That place is pretty secure. Need a keycard to go up and door is never left open, i helped a friend move out and idiots kept closing the door everytime locking me out when clearly there was a lot of boxes right next to the open door in midday.

Sorry, which place are you referring to? Because I never mentioned the name of any hotel/condominium, unless you thought I meant the Royal Phuket City Hotel.

Thank you all for your good advice. I'm not bring much stuff with me and when I'm there I'm mostly going to work from a laptop so I wouldn't need to travel much (other than for a few research trips around the island for which I'll take taxis).

I stayed in a condominium just outside of Phuket Town recently and decided that the place I'd most like to stay in Phuket is in the town.

Thank you. Are there any safety measures I should take or things I should be aware of with regards to safety/security?

Hi rip, yes I noticed that on my last trip there. I intend to stay in Phuket Town/City.

Hi MissChris, thank you for taking a minute to reply to me. I've been reading through the forum and yes there are some issues (as there are in all online forums), but I do hope some kind people would help me.

As for the work permit, I didn't have to worry about that my company settled it for me.

Hi I'm 30 years old, Male, from Singapore, and I'm moving to Phuket soon for work. I would like some advice or tips from people already living in Phuket.

I need to get an apartment with 2 rooms in Phuket Town, is there any place you would recommend? It doesn't have to be fancy, just clean.

Are there other things in particular that I need to take note of? Thank you so much for helping me out!
