    10 great reasons why not to retire in Phuket:

     

    1.  Road deaths

    2. No public transport

    3. Dishonest and violent taxis drivers

    4. North Africans riding 300cc scooters in gangs

    5. Russians so drunk they attempt to drive a car along Rawai pier

    6. No proper lifeguards because the experienced (and often trained in Australia) ones were all fired due to corruption and theft of the allocated budget

    7. All coral gardens of the island are now dead and dying due to siltation from over development. Nai Thon is just one relevant example

    8. Fecal coliforms counts far above any acceptable levels at Patong and many other west coast beaches

    9. The seafood Restaurants (especially the ones displaying the seafood out the front of their premise) have little, if any actual local seafood.  The prawns are farmed, the crayfish are farmed, and the bulk of the fish are farmed.  If you are considering eating oysters or other shellfish please refer to point 8 above.

    10. Blood bank is bone dry in Phuket due to the amount of road accidents every day and the fact none of the farangs ever donate.  If you have an emergency that requires blood you are done for.

     

    I wish I could provide more than 10 reasons....I am just getting warmed up.

    And the price no different from your Western countries
