UK? Utter rubbish, you can go to a bar any day of the year and buy alcohol.

If I wanted other locations I would go to their forum.

 

Cm has a history, because of its geography, of some areas receiving rain while others miss out.

Oops sorry,I retract the BS

In many other countries there is no  ban on alcohol sales for Christmas and Easter so Pubs,bars,discos,hotels and restaurants  can and do continue business as usual..there is also no silly  time of day restrictions on sale of alcohol.

Never been to Oz then? Trading hours,ban on Xmas n Easter , think before you BS

I can believe the 180 Baht price on Phuket. The place is a total ripoff. We were at a small roadside Thai seafood place in Kamala Beach and they wanted over 3000 Baht per kilo for lobster.

So long as you did not pay that price, it’s no rip off! Let them be stuck with the cray, go elsewhere, no shortage of cheap seafood here.

I've returned to work. Enjoyed it immensely, built an amazing career and trajectory (especially at my age). I wake up in the morning with ambition and purpose. I'm making 4-5 times what the Thai working class does 

 

You are certainly a legend making more than the Thai “working class”. My bet is it at there expense!

 ... This has always been a problem, .... 

 

When I was young and worked for the E & WS old Survey branch, I sat there and watched a Southern European guy, paint the top of the same peg, ... 26 times !!! as he was too lazy to bend over and pickup a new one !!! .... Bludging in the bottom level jobs, ... and in particular the Government ones, .... if you could get away with it ... and well, the ethos of stealing from you employer, has always been a very bad side of Australia, and it's great opportunity ... but well, now Cash has become harder to get, ... for ALL, ... well then things ARE tightening up a REAL lot now. ....

 

Too many Emigrants and that is for sure ... but well the tried an tested Bludgers and Thieves, are not necessarily them, as it has been going on for a very VERY long time now.

26 times ,well your memory astounds me! No stealing or bludging required for the refugees now, tree hugging Oz gov gives it away.Of course at the expense of the real Oz folk,bogans included.

I live in Ayutthaya.
Neither of us drink so don’t feel the urge to go out so much, usually go out for lunch and she cooks in an evening.
I study ( Thai ) for a couple of hours most evenings then join her watching tv for a while, probably upsetting her viewing asking dumb questions about the language

Just got back from the Wat ( Asalha Puja day ), she takes the Buddhist thing seriously and although I accompany her it’s not my scene, but she helps me in an infinite number of things here so I have to reciprocate.

Who is her and she?

Pissistintly heavy rain on Phuket yesterday, no Indians to be seen anywhere!

Hardly handed on a platter. These are payments approved by the Parliament, and with requirements attached.

I have been privileged to pay tax to assist those who are less fortunate than others

Of course there gov approved, stupid comment.50 K Au dollar, more than double the OA pension, the less fortunate in this case.

Why go to these places when there are many beaches elsewhere that are deserted mid week and they are glad of the custom. If you go to a tourist ghetto you should expect it to be grim.

 

Why not try here. Empty beach at Mae Phim :

 

 

But there,s no lifeguards on patrol!

So true bro. Patong isnt great but still nowhere near as bad as chaweng. No means no in patong, in chaweng it just means try again and wear me down until i say yes! 

Same occurs in Bali, persistent to the point where real agro can occur, big difference to offering your wares.Patong has bars , tuk tuk,tailors,massage etc all on offer but a simple I,m ok thanks does the trick!

Thailand's laisser faire policies towards tourism are slowly destroying the nations natural resources.

It seems that tourism this year is down up to 30%    .....  whether or not this is a glitch, you can be sure that the authorities reaction will be a nape-of-the-neck one that fails to look to the longer future or the sustainability of the industry.

However, I really don't think that posts saying "Phuket is better than Samui" have any validity whatsoever, just a poorly written subjective post about one person's prejudices.......waste of a keyboard.

His views are less valid than yours then....makes sense?????
