Good to see that someone came forward and tipped the police off and something was actually done to put a stop to it.

Am I gonna start seeing hit men advertising windows popping up on my FB page?

Both my girlfriend and I did many visa runs with A&B visa company in Phuket. Ive tried a few others but this company was the best. Kept a good schedule, reliable and they gave us a bit of a discount since we both regularly used them. They do visa runs to both Penang and Ranong on different days of the week.

Address is:169/74 Soi Sansabai

Rat U Thit Rd., Patong, Phuket

There contact info is listed on their website.

A new restaurant is being built in Patong, wonder if they will call it Bin Laden's?

The body was wrapped in a duvet and the suspect murder? I can't ever recall hearing about someone committing suicide by way of a duvet? Must have put their best investigators on this case.

Only a couple hundred more of these shops to go now.

The Chang girls still sound better than girls we had from Absolute come promote at the bar I worked at. One was on her cell texting her bf all night while the other was making out with her Thai bf in the corner of the bar. The worst part was neither of them were all that attractive.

150 baht for 30 minutes of jetski ? At this rate it's really obvious there is going to be some repair fees to pay at the end of the ride

Ya that price had me wondering too, never heard of renting jet skis that cheap anywhere?

Anybody want to take advantage of the offers and get together for a friendly round??

Where area do you live in?

And have the race where in Phuket? Maybe they could incorporate Patong hill into track layout.

It's a nice bonus when your playing at a good golf course ;-)

Might have to check that out myself. I've heard this time of year you can get a round of golf and one nights stay for 2100 Baht.

I have never been to Blue canyon so obviously I can not comment on whether it is a good idea to buy membership, I have played Loch Palm, Phuket country club(old course, and the 9 hole lakes course, I and my playing partners were very disappointed with the condition and the poor service from provided from all aspects of these top golf courses, even if I were very wealthy I would not waste my money on membership of any golf course here on Phuket, now Black mountain(Hui Hin is a different ball game all together, fantastic condition, fantastic service from every part of this amazing complex!!

Is Black Mountain the course where the golfers get a "drink caddy" an attractive Thai girl that joins the group to ensure the golfer are always refreshed? A friend of mine was telling me about a course in Hua Hin that has offers this, their golf knowledge isn't the greatest but apparently they are all beauties.

I'll check with my friend who's played there and was telling me about them and see if he remembers the name of the course. He said it was similar to being at at a massage parlour where the girls lined up and you picked the one you liked, she had next no golf knowledge but always kept a drink in his hand. He didn't ask about seeing her after the round but I wouldn't be surprised if that's how they meet some customers of their own.

Becoming a regular monthly renovation for this lady

It's stories like this one that keeps the bar girls hopes alive.

I don't envy golfers living in Phuket. Many of the courses are so so and not run like one would expect for what they charge. That being said, it's pretty typical stuff for clubs located in high tourist areas.

I've talked to a few golfers in Phuket who have said that they wouldn't risk buying a membership to Blue Canyon due to an unsettled ownership situation. Anyone have any insight about this?

A friend of mine is a long time member at BC and he was telling me a couple of weeks ago that he was looking to get out.

While I was working for a golf company in Phuket I got to know a few of the golf pro's (foreigners) and they didn't have many good things to say about the way BC was run and managed. Apparently no money was being out back into the course itself and no upgrades are planned to an already aging clubhouse. The course use to host a Johnny Walker golf tournament but they have moved on from BC to other courses due to the lack of upkeep and maintenance. Overall the course just doesn't seem willing or interested in keeping up with the other courses on the island.

Laem Chabang golf course at night

Next time go to surat thani and play golf at rajaprapha golfcourse near the dam. Value for money. Need a buggy though.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try and check out the course if I'm in that area. I played Laem Chabang Golf and County Club just outside of Pattaya, fun course to play and they have lights for night golf. I was in an evening tournament there and it was dark but with the lights you could still easily play and not lose a ball in the fairway like other night golf courses.

I've played nearly all the golf courses in Phuket and yes most of them are not cheap to play but they still offer a beautiful course, knowledgeable caddies and a fun day with the exception of Blue Canyon. I've been fortunate enough to play golf around the world and have seen the good the bad and the ugly courses but the prices that BC charge compared to the value is ridiculous.

The course was in horrible condition (this was in high season last year) the caddies didn't seem to care much and they we're always looking for a handout.The pro shop staff were only interested in their mobile phones and when I met the GM of the course I was shocked he was working at BC when a mini putt course seemed like a better fit for him.

Red Mountain/Loch Palm and Laguna are much more enjoyable and worth the money in my eyes.

Im curious as to what others think?

Change her hours, try to avoid letting her work with any friends, make her job miserable and driver her out.

She may just stop showing up for work after she gets her pay. Happened all the time when I was working with Thai's, the owner would make their lives miserable and it was her way of getting them to leave. She made it so bad for some staff they didn't even wait for the next pay.

Where would Phuket be floating in the barrel?

they are considered harmless because their toxicity is not dangerous to humans

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChrysopeleaI was a bit more worried about this one:

Where was the video taken? I saw a snake just like the one in the video but it didn't have its hood out, just crossing a path in front of me. It was the same color and size, I was thinking it was a cobra but wasn't sure.

I lived in the same area for 4 months, loved being away from busy areas. I had the same snake come in my front door trying to get away from a cat. After taking a few pictures I got him/her out but it went under my scooter and up inside it. My GF and I tried for an hour to get it out but no luck. We never saw it come out and had eyes on the scooter the whole time. It definitely made our next trip on the scooter an interesting one. I tried to hit every bump I could to get it out but we never saw it again. I sold the scooter a month later.

What are the odds he disappears and is not found any time soon?

I lived in a house right off the hill and had to stop on the way down to turn in (just before the villas) I was always petrified a car would run into the back of my scooter when I was stopped and waiting to make the turn. I use to see trucks that went off the edge so often I stopped looking.
