Hi there.

Every year I go to Phuket, for about a month. I used to rent a bungalow/small house from Jeff, a dutchman in Karon, nice guy.

Due that he had trouble to rent them off-season, ,he sold them!

So I look for something else. I am not particular found of hotels, just want a small place with balcony in a quiet place, to zip my Singha on the terrace in the evening.

I have met an English person at Kata beach, called John, residing almost all the time in Phuket, who said he knew a nice place, but john did not show up on the beach our last days, as he was ill, his sister Julie (very nice person!) told us. So if anybody know John and how to contact him 'he is end 50, white hair, slim and very handsome for his age", that is fine too!

For the rest ,all sugestions welcome!

Hi - it sounds like you are presently on Phuket hanging around Kata Beach. So for bungalow type accommodation why dont you look at Da's Bungalows located opposite the Boathouse on the southern end of Kata Beach? Lovely views overlooking Kata Beach and very nice bungalows with private verandahs.

Khun Da is also on the southern end of Kata Beach running his surf business there everyday. His sister Malai also has some bungalows located next door to his.

Thanks for replying! I do not know this place, neither can I find it on the internet. I see one problem, that it is on the (noisy) center there. As I have a bike, I would like to be a bit more remoted....

If you have a link, I will check it out though, thanks again!

No these establishments do not have any internet presence. Most of their customers are regulars. You can easily pop over and have a look. Also they are not located near Kata Center, they are opposite The Boathouse en route to Kata Noi Beach.

Kata Delight has a lovely location overlooking Kata Bay.

Limbos - the map on the website is incorrect. According to it, Svigers house is opposite Karon beach (where the stadium is located). Also the map indicates Kata Center close to the circle in Karon. Kata Center is actually in the opposite direction. So it does sound as if it is located where Mike says.

When are you planning on bringing the family?

Kata and Kata Noi Beaches. Speak to the guys from Da's Surf (Da himself and Chris his Kiwi brother - in - law) located directly on the southern end Of Kata Beach in front of The Boathouse. They know exactly where to surf when. They are also involved with arranging surfing trips to Indo etc.

If visiting Phuket - try the burgers at the Karon Cafe. Delish!

Any word on Svigers House.

Planning on staying there with my family. Feedback is appreciated.

Never heard of this establishment. Do you perhaps know where in Kata? In the center or closer to the beach?

Interesting wonder how are down they are? (obviously in divers reach)

Heard they are at about 70 meters depth.

Many thanks Bambina for your help. Will give it a try!

Cheers!

Anyone know a good recipe for Portugese style Chicken Trinchado?

I have one it must be at least 10yrs old . Probably around 6m high at a guess.

Last year had lots of flowers which all got blown of in a strong wind but not many flowers this year . So far no fruit at all. A very healthy looking tree though. I'm in Chiang Mai by the way.

Not sure if it works but I heard that if you ry knocking a nail into the tree trunk that this is supposed to shock to make it bear fruit.
