Your question was rambling and needed info that only the post office could provide.

You need a HOTEL, not a condo. Condos are for long-term residents only, not short-term tourists.

Ha ha sure . Here is whats available for 3k per night for 2 weeks. 16 pages of it

The Thai trade balance is slipping quite rapidly which indicates that any import increases are not compensating for the export losses.

Thailand is the 20th largest export economy in the world

Yes there are nice spots on Phuket, just like anywhere with bad rep...but does average tourist generally see them? No

 

Same as Phuket is overpriced? Sure it is ...if all you see is Tiger complex on Bangla...but Tiger ≠ Bangla, Bangla ≠ Patong, Patong ≠ Phuket, Phuket ≠ Thailand.

 

Exclude Tiger, Bangla is cheaper than similar in BKK, exclude Bangla, Patong is marginally higher priced than Pattaya but cheaper than BKK. Exclude Patong and Phuket is same as any other tourist destination in Thailand..no actually cheaper than many.

 

As to beaches, Patong beach, the one most tourists see, is filthy. Karon/Kata & Kamala are only marginally better. These are only beaches 90% of tourist see. Bearly anyone see's the beaches at north end of the island beyond expats and cheap charlies...which is kind of amusing, cheapest tourists see best beaches

Filthy is a powerful word. You have done research and can pop up a HD vid no more than a year old to show it?

Problem is half of the TV bar stool boys are nowhere near Phuket ..western currency crash made sure of that but still like to comment and feel a bit important

Can't see what's so hot about sitting on your lonesome in a restaurant every day, watching farang couples not communicating. Is it fun?

WOW ! Didn't mean to touch a raw nerve dude.

Yes . But what makes you think you can instantly rent it out for that exact 2 week period

Forget about it

But they are worth nothing, unless you can sell them, and good luck trying to move property here in the current market.

Yeah right buying at 72 he must be a loser. Sounds like your a 4k a month room renter with that silly statement

Then, please speak freely about the property market here

What are you babbling on about/ Where did I mention property in your quote? The set has also performed well 

my prediction is based on charts and resistance and the historical low is 15 baht for my oz example 

it will get there but will take a few years at which point I will liquidate and take advantage of the OZ collapse of the property bubble and its banana republic currency rate. That goes for most of the western world which are on the brink of recession.

$7.00 AUD for a coffee, a beer about $7 - $10 AUD (no, not talking about sitting in the front of 7-11 or living in some village) and you still get numskulls saying Thailand is cheap.

 

 

 

Lower sukhumvit at the old german beer house soi 13 and just had 2 pints at 100 baht each

Any idiot can pay double or triple it takes no talent

What a load of nonsense
These threads pop up smack in the middle of low season every year

And drag on into high season where they mysteriously vanish untill next years Pattaya phuket are dead threads [emoji16]

American aircraft including air force trainers are equipted with a 0 feet ejection seat, meaning you can eject from the ground
 
and still have enough altitude for your chute to open.

happiness is ….

Aaaah! - the old "too much" routine by health "professionals" justifying their existence.
 
We've seen them all:
 
"Too much sun gives you cancer"
"Too much alcohol gives you brain damage" (some people I know are immune to this)
"Too much fish consumption gives you mercury poison"
"Too much Thai vegetables gives you pesticide poison"
"Too much spanking the monkey will send you blind"
 
I'm still alive, have to wear glasses, enjoy all sorts of food and no bits are falling off me yet - - - -

Huge Govt surplus and shitty eastern bloc planes! Wing 41 in the heart of CM. I see them whizzing around , planes and helicopters,   quite often from my balcony. Let’s hope they get their damn act together. 

RIP to the pilot. 

What a remarkably dumb thing to say because first world jets "whizz around" without incident ?
