Central will always be emptyish, why would a Thai person shop in Central, when they can buy the same items cheaper in every other shopping area?
Central is a joke! I can not find a shop in the centre where I can buy a shirt to fit me - unless its a button up business shirt.
The cinema is good though, I went there yesterday with the MRS to see Mr and Mrs Smith - the VIP seats (sofa) was great.
I agree with Baht&Sold in his semi tyrade against womble, it sounds like womble has another axe to grind, for reasons he only knows.
Phuket went through a Tsunami people, ofcourse it takes time to rebuild, regroup and get back to times before, but it is still a beautiful place. I am enjoying less traffic, less crowded bars, less people in general and what else would you be looking for in a holiday? - it makes perfect sense to see Phuket now in my opinion.
BTW, I do not cater to the tourist market, so I have nothing to gain by my posts, it just makes good sense to me, to let people know Phuket is open, alive and less crowded than ever.
Samui is also great, but as this is a Phuket forum, lets discuss Phuket.
AT LAST. The BBC has somewhat redeemed itself in my eyes. There was a report last night commemorating 6 months after the Tsunami that protrayed Phuket in a far more positive light, ie busy, vibrant beach at Patong, daytime punters milling around Bangla and a general feeling of optimism. May not be 100% accurate but at least it was positive reporting. Surely that will help attract punters if not now, but for their plans later in the year rather than the same shots of dogs sniffing around rubbish tips or that usual one of the 2 empty beach chairs with the empty ocean backdrop. (They even took time out to focus on the plight of the wretched souls up in Ban Nam Kem who are having difficulty resettling because of the violent threats from the land grabbing b##t##ds)
Good Luck to all you TVers who are directly involved with the tourist industry, hang in there.
TORNADO re shirts at Central ...... lose some weight, you big git !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only Joking !!
Yes, the BBC almost got it right ! It was looking good until the dumb a*s reporter said "this is Patong, the scene where exactly 6 months ago 5,000 people lost there lives".... WRONG !!!
You would think by now someone would have told them that the Phuket figure was actually only in the hundreds, not 5,000 ! I suppose they had to think of some exageration, afterall the rubbish dump they used to report as the remains of Phuket was no longer there this time round ! Well done BBC for almost getting it right.
And big well said goes out to Baht & Sold, like Phuket needs people like this. Blatantly setting out to put people off from going to Phuket is very poor indeed.
Wobble, I have a better suggestion, dont bother going back as we dont want to here your "revised" figure. Stick with Pattaya & your cheap whores !!!

Have 1 question . Is the interview done by a Thai ? and is it in Thai or english .
Wife is worried about her english
Regards
Ronniem
When my missus did hers it was all in Thai with a farang watching over. Mine was crapping herself about having to speak English (even though she speaks very good English) but the farang interviewer didnt even open his mouth.
Not sure about OZ Embassy though, mine was UK.

Its a business idea me and a friend has who is traveling back to thailand in a week or two, hes been there a fair few times and believes there is a way of making money by setting up a service to thai women and foreign men looking for thai women......
So hes been there a "few times", this tells me you havent ? Can I ask, is he contributing to paying for it ? My guess is hes probably not !
I like the way you call it an "idea", an idea that never passes thorough the minds of a single guy who has visited Thailand !!

Let me know of any low cost (-1,000,000bht) investments you may come across.
Thank you,
Greg Turner
Roughly translated ..... "I have 1 million baht to give away in Thailand, would anyone like it ?" Well Gong, you have certainly come to the right place to have all your money relieved from you !!
Me thinks this guy has had LOTS of PM’s, would love to be able to see them ! Lets hope hes a smart guy !

Phuket may well have seen its hayday.
It has always been way overpriced compared to other Thai resorts and with the tsunami disaster why would people be hurrying to go back unless they were offered substantial discounts.
There are plenty of other places for tourists to spend their money.
To the low end tourist yes, its more expensive however, Phuket is not interested in the low end tourist ! The island is more than happy for you cheap Charlie’s to go & sit outside 7/11 in Pattaya, with your 20 baht bottle of Chang in hand !
Your not wanted here !

A troll me thinks!
Could someone enlighten me to what this "Troll" means ? What does one have to be or do (or not as the case may be) to be a Troll ?

But then again, its probably a windup, or do you guys call it a Troll ?

I want to collect names and addressess from thai women to set up a dating/match m aking agency. how do i get a permit to go about such work.
I will be working for myself and prob no money made for a while, do you think i could get a work permit for that kind of work.
I will try to say this without directing any attack on the person in question. About 4 years ago I went to the Philippines where I had my 1st taste of the good life, after discovering that there was really such thing as Paradise I just had to find a way of cashing in on it !
Yes, I wanted to do the exact thing as this guy, now I look back & what a complete are**whole I was by even thinking of doing this ! My friends to this day still like to remind me of my moment of madnes, very embarrasing ! The crazy thing thing is at the time I actually thought it was a great idea and that it was totally original. Wrong !
I know how this guy feels however, the chances are that once he becomes accostomed to what this place called paradise is really all about (as I have) he will proabably be looking back with the same embarrasment as I do !
Guys, dont attack him, the embarrasment alone will attack him for a very long time after !

I'd appreciate it if anyone would let me know of any low cost (-1,000,000bht) investments you may come across preferably a business of sorts which I might be able to use to propel myself forwards.
you might wanna check this out i am looking at this myself..good luck
Hey, thats a new one, a visa service ! I bet that has never been thought of before in Thailand ?!!
No 1 visa a "brand name" ! Ha ha ha !
Why dont you e mail them and tell them that you will give them the 3 million baht they are looking for to establish the other locations, but they must send you 500,000 baht 1st for relocating costs !! ha ha !
It never seizes to amaze me how you farangs will so easily part with money to enable you to stay here !

These are your own words Womble ! And you have a nerve to say other posters are misleading !!!
