Gasoline drops in price but the phuket transport scammers still looking for rich pickings from "naive punters". " mai ow" still the best phrase to use in Thailand

So much for the "reforms" I have read about in the last year. And I see how Uber, which operates in other parts of Thailand was ruled illegal in Phuket. So the Mafia Dons are in control!

Maybe a thai can negotiate price 500-600baht. I arrive with thai GF

Thanks . What is the meter rate?

what are the cheaper options getting from the airport to Karon other than the crazy price 700-800bht

taxis?

Well said OP. Very refreshing. I've virtually stopped using this site as it is usually 99.9% Thai bashing.

.

as well as 99% whining about " thai bashing"

If someone exposes ANYTHING that is deemed "defamation" it is against the law. That is Thailand. A crazy country. Now let the whiners " I hate Farang who put down Thailand" come out!

Gotta be a pretty insecure person to move to another country to "avoid people". A whole nation? Sad bunch

Thais overspending and in debt. It aint on necessities. Their addiction to luxury goods and the credit to get the items "in their face at Malls and in the media" is irresistible.Thailand has got itself in the "western trap". The only money being spent by the non wealthy is borrowed money and with its fake property price boom it can only lead to disaster

Sounds like the owner of the guest house is more interested in trying to protect the "good" name of his business rather then protecting his guests.

Dismissing a complaint of an(other) alleged rape by saying she probably just fell over is disgusting.

This article should be shared widely on social media so any female tourists can boycott this business.

what you F*** talking about? The video proved she lied about an injury. Get it ? jeeez

Really! Surely not?

Amazing the attacks on "English" undoubtedly coming from low life from parts of the world who think their countrymen have no one who has sex with under 18s . Or maybe its legal in their vile country!

I wonder how many Thai boys under 18 blackmail older farang men after having sex? Guess that doesnt make the news

At the same time,

They created the rules of Visa for those who have the resources to buy bombs...

400 000 or 800 000 / bombs / year

Really good ideas?

so you say the law that requires 400,000 or 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account to obtain a visa is wrong because of the bombing ? Looking for scapegoats are we?

Stacks of fake turkish passports? All these TV Hercule Poirot nobodies dont know facts when they bite them on the ass! Wouldnt fancy being a Turk living in Thailand at the moment!

Tourist traps like Pattaya are best avoided for a number of reasons... the taxis being one of the least of them.

What a boring life you must lead

really? If pointing out the obvious about avoiding a place is deemed to have a "boring life". Someone is rather warped!

Typical thai all round. From the female attack to the reaction or non reaction of onlookers and even the infamous RTP

Id recommend Thailand as its still relatively safe and it's easy to travel around and also culturally diverse. Ideal to a 1st time traveller.

"relatively safe to travel around"? Compared and relative to what African State is that with more than 80 deaths a day on the roads?

Good news! Overpriced, overrated Central. May the downward spiral continue.

All these migrants economic or refugees overwhelmingly want to go to northern and western europe. Stop them. europe has no obligation to these people

Saw a doctor at a hospital in Bkk today just to get psuedoephredrine (500baht visit) and he agreed with the stupid situation of having to go to hospital for this,whereas more damaging is the widespread abuse of using OTC antibiotics in Thailand and the long term effects that will have in being ineffective against Bacterial infections.

You can buy this on Lazada.co.th for 1700 baht and pay cash on delivery . I did it today.If you buy online Ebay etc you pay at least that with shipping from 800-1100 baht

I know this has been discussed before but anyone have an equivalent to Pseudoephradrine strength in tablet form. I went to pharmacies today and it was either Anti Histamines (Phenyline based) or liquid form. I do recall there was a strong tablet available in Thailand that would do the job for a blocked nose ,but cant recall the name

Manhunt?! This guy is long gone! They didn't lockdown the city and the airports after the attack! These chumps couldn't catch a cold!

Anyone have the number for the Keystone Cops? They could do a better job!

"lockdown the city" ? You are an Ignoramus
