Around Rawai business has slowed right down you notice when I'm out and about, But I haven't seen any places closed down, some need closing down but that's for other reasons, Sunday morning is when we do a big shop, some guy on here recommended a beer and did say it is sold in Tops so we normally go in there, I found the beer then realised it was only 10-30 so I didn't bother buying it, yep I guessed they lost money like that, I did look in the big makro they don't sell it,

Also reported in the news was 4 foreigners arrested for overstay,

I've got a service special for you, 10,000 baht gets your passport banned,

Aussies are not so innocent, a couple of years back a father and son was eating in a restaurant on their last night then did a runner, 3 years later when they returned to Phuket they got arrested, for not paying that bill, They were charged in their absence.

something smells fishy to me,

I know of one place here in Rawai that was built 7 years ago it only reached 29% foreign ownership, at the time they were 5.9 million baht they would be lucky to get their money back, there is some 2 bedroom units they have definitely lost money,

It already has, tell him

Don't encourage him

You need to find some new hobbies you do,

If you prefer BOLT then why are you asking?

Most of Rawai was ok, there is certain spots that are prone to flooding and one is on the way to the beach but in the past it soon flows away, somewhere, there is one place that will be blocked on Sai yuan road there is a couple of soi's run down into it, quite often come out to clear the drains, bye the first 7/11 on the left,

The big problem in Thailand is they don't maintain the standards especially in the hospitality business, I've seen a few examples of it in the last 12 months, We have had quite a few of my wifes family come down here to Phuket and they are not afraid to spend money, One 5 star resort here in Phuket we visited, it's dump it's old and looks it, we went to have breakfast one morning, I was looking forward to having Bacon and Eggs and some sausages, the food on offer was like they bought it from 7/11 even my Thai family complained about the standard of food, the only plus for that hotel was the location had a sea view, This time last years my daughter booked a 5 star hotel in Karon, The place was empty only 6 rooms booked, The breakfast was garbage whatever the cheapest thing they could buy, after one week I had not seen them clean the pool I did ask my daughter had she seen them, she said no, I went to the management and told them get that pool cleaned, dead frogs in the pool, maintenance is not high on the list in Thailand. Some of the restaurants around Karon leave a lot to be desired, on more than one occasion food not cooked properly, The only decent restaurants were the Farang owned ones, couple of nights in the Turkish places they were good, I can recommend them,

We live in the south of Phuket and this is the slowest low season I have seen for years,

What made them raid that condo? half a story again

Blue Tree Phuket announced on June 22, 2024 that the decision to cease operations of Blue Tree Lagoon, the company's main business segment, on 1 August 2024, was made to meet changing customer demands.

Them guys need to get more, It's not happening where I live,

Sometime last year my wife went to get something, and she dint have enough cash on here so she used her Debit card, 10 transactions in one day, she had it set to anything less than 3000 baht no need for the SMS, now it's set to zero, Luckily the bank gave her all the money back, Obviously she knew exactly where it have been used which she reported to the bank, as far as I know nothing was ever done about it, even though the bank had all the details,

As far as I know it's not a police job in the UK, My daughter owns 4 Pizza and Kebab take away shops, she does very well so has lots of staff, she got raided last year one night, all her staff are legit, I should have added, Boarder Control and Immigration,

You can sue for anything in Thailand

Personally I think it's wrong to use that photo, when connected to a sexual abuse case, some one will know who that is, Bad move

Should have bought 2

My wife booked a couple flights Phuket to BKK for next week on Trip.com, seems like she got a really good deal and on the way back, I was checking Manchester to Phuket, Flights and Hotel for 2 weeks, the whole package was cheaper than flights only, That was on Trip.com

Moderators close this now I declined his booking
