  1. I mentioned this to a Thai lady that I know this morning she already knew about them she copied their photo from FB incase they come in here restaurant, and that was in Rawai,
  2. Its already toasted you just warm it up in the microwave
  3. There is another one they make it's not your typical toastie, but is a toasted sandwich on thick bread and you put it in the microwave, the one the misses gets me is pork with a fried egg, If I go this morning and they have in stock I'll take a photo,
  4. The cleanest cell I have ever seen in Thailand.
  5. She should think herself lucky the farang gave her some money, it had been a Thai she would have got sweet FA, my wife didn't get anything when a Thai guy collided with her brand new bike, He was at fault he didnt stop at the junction just turned in to the wrong lane towards my wife,
  6. We have a good friend who is an Agent for many insurance companies, they have a list of all the hospitals here in Phuket and their prices, Thai price Farang price, Insurance price, none insurance price,
  7. I'm the same, They have massively improved the government hospital in Phuket, only one thing they need to do now, is improve the food, no big deal there is a 7/11 out the front and an Amazon coffee shop in the hospital, I think they was trying to have me over with a private room, 3500 baht per day, I keep meaning to tell my wife to call and ask how much, Makes me wonder are the doctors on commission.
  8. I have to say Im very impressed with the government hospital here in Phuket, I went to see the doctor yesterday evening I recieved a call the day before so I already knew my number in the que (8) It wasn't so busy yesterday, that's the only problem it gets mobbed, I'm told it's the biggest hospital in the south of Thailand, so they come from all over to here. I always have my wife with me, and the charges are reasonable, Yesterday I came away with 3 months medication, the cost is Thai price, we do have a couple of friends who are pharmacist and they said they are good drugs for a good price, Not like them International hospitals 10x the price, obscene prices, My wife insist I have a cup of Encore everyday ok that's fine, but believe it or not the cheapest place on the island we have found to buy it, is the hospital the government one, how good is that? Another big ripoff at the hospitals is blood test, Im not saying any names which place is 3500 baht, we found a clinic just a normal blood test was only 250 baht, the one I needed for yesterday was to check cholesterol was 550 baht, just pickup the result and take it to the hospital with you, I would recommend Vachira hospital in Phuket to anyone,
  9. You dont see any in the UK and they are worse
  10. No they are not, especially my wife is not fooled by any of them,
  11. 2 is not bad given the amount of punters at the festival
  12. All them North African countries who migrated to France, are nothing but trouble, Tunisia and Algeria, they have to apply for a visa to get into Thailand,
  13. The information is a bit vague, no details o what happened, Even the NI news outlets dont give anything away,
  14. I thought it was going to say they are knocking their Turbans off.
  15. Governments around the world are tightening rules on short-term rentals to address local challenges. Here are the latest updates: Athens: The city has introduced a one-year freeze on new short-term rental permits. The goal is to ease housing affordability issues and find a better balance between tourism and community needs. Egypt: The government is looking to formalize the STR market with stricter rules. Plans include mandatory licensing and a 14% VAT on rental income to ensure better tax compliance and oversight. Alicante: Over in Spain, Alicante has introduced a two-year ban on new holiday rental licenses in certain neighborhoods. This measure is designed to tackle housing shortages and reduce the pressure of tourism on local communities. These updates highlight how cities and countries are working to balance the needs of residents and tourists while addressing housing and affordability concerns.
  16. Thai's dont respect the Law, so Farangs think they can do the same,
  17. It always happens to the Chinese, the weather doesn't seem that bad today although a bit dull here in Rawai,
  18. If you go into Sizzler for a salad it's not Free, I think at the weekends its 199 baht, week days is cheaper then they cut down on the choices, but you can have as much as you want,
  19. I latched on to that in Phuket airport years ago when they first opened a Burger King, they have never had a penny out of me for years, Last year when my family arrived I went to meet them and they wanted drinks, ok wait lets get the minivan loaded and there is a 7/11 a mile of 2 down the road we'll get from there,
  20. I wonder how much she got paid to collect the parcels? Idiot
