  1. My wife has a few friends who work in there, all of them on the ground floor area the were hiding in stock rooms,
  2. Many people run to the hotel KEMPINSKI good friend of ours is a manager there,
  3. Many people are also trapped in there,
  4. My good friend Vladimir told me in Russia, Russians are racist look at all the ethnic minorities,
  5. Over 40,000 Russians land in Phuket in September
  6. According to another news outlet, for the month of September just over 40,000 Russians landed in Phuket alone
  7. Apart from the Russians, Phuket people are know by other Thai's as being Jai Dam, in my experience of living here a long time Thai's are racist's towards black people,
  8. A young lady sitting near to us in the coffee shop the other morning when it was raining heavy, she called Grab for less than 1 km away, the fare was 300 baht, My wife said to her we go by there we will drop you,
  9. I think they need to be spending that money on improving what we already have, Improvements are greatly needed in the hospitality industry, the infrastructure, try pushing a buggy around then you see what I mean, The standards are very poor, food hygiene should be a priority, training should be given to staff, not pay the authorities to go away, shut the places down if they don't comply. I had my family here for a couple of weeks recently 5 in total they booked to stay in a 5 star hotel in Karon, the hotel was fine albeit only 5 rooms were booked out, they were really cutting back, the food on the breakfast buffet was bought from 7/11, I kid you not, One day the little one was hungry, my daughter was about to order a Hot Dog, my grand daughter is not 3 yet, I looked over at the menu and it was 350 baht ++, cancel that it's only for the baby, I'll walk across the road to 7/11, We tried to take them to different places to eat in the evening lots of food was left and sent back being poor quality or under cooked, I think my family would have struggled if they didn't have me or my wife with them. That two weeks opened my eyes the place has gone backwards, Lets not talk about the lack of English.
  10. Bank of Thailand released data showing fewer tourists entered Thailand in August but they comprised more long-stay tourists from Japan, Germany and Australia who spent more. They forgot to mention the Russians who make up the bulk of long stays in Phuket
  11. I think if you walk around with a face like thunder people will put you on the ignore list, in my soi is pretty mixed local Thais a few Burmese and a few farangs, everybody seems to let on, The Thai's always say sawat dee papa when I pass bye, A couple of times a week we take a walk down the beach and see the same people around even the miserable Russians nod their head,
  12. I would imagine if people are taking their dogs to the supermarket they would get followed by the soi dogs that control that area, could get nasty
  13. It used to be 23 years ago, my first ever night in Bangkok and the young lady was kneeling down infront of me pouring me a beer, when she asked me would I like Head sir, best I don't answer that
