    Where to go?

    in Diving in Thailand

    Posted

    East coast has bad weather at that time of the year, so fogey Ko Tao. Lanta starts not before November.

    PP is full of Chinese, avoid. In the end it's Phuket and it is not as bad as some say. You go to do a course, means to learn something important.

    IMO, what you see during the course is secondary, what you will learn is what counts.

    If you wanna have great diving + course, than maybe you change destination to Indo or Phils.

    Securing residency

    If you fund the work for reparations and the furniture and whatever needs to be bought, in order to protect yourself you should make a legally valid contract that all mobile goods (TV, washing machine, etc. ) belong to you and that you invested xxx THB in reparations. For this you have the right to stay in the place for xxx years without paying, unless your GF pays you back your investment. I know that there is such kind of contract possible but you need to talk to a lawyer for details.

    My advice: Don't do it - too many farangs got fleeced in that way

    Phuket tour boat disaster: Wave of cancellations spurs damage-control offensive

    in Phuket News

    Posted

    No one mentions the standards for land transportation, which are much more frightening than the boats, specially when looking at the number of people involved.

    Most of the mini van drivers as just brain dead, as I can witness this every single day.

    This boat accident is sad but not even the tip of an iceberg, much bigger than anyone can imagine. And 5.000.000 Chinese tourist less p.a. for a while would be good for many in this country. Just can't stand 'em anymore, as many others can't.

    Thai minister blames Chinese tour operators for Phuket boat disaster

    A boat puts to sea with a captain who is ultimately responsible for the boat and passenger safety.

    If the conditions are not safe the captain has the decision whether to go or stay, nobody else.

    Typical of authorities here to blame others rather than a Thai, shameful.

    Basically correct, however, many Chinese run companies put so much pressure on the Thai staff / Captains, i.e. threatening them, to go out, also when the weather is bad.

    Too much money involved in the supply chain and nobody wants to refund anything in case of cancellation. With other words: If the Captain refuses to sail, he gets fired.
