  1. Here in Phuket the re sale value of condos has not moved in the last 5 years, renting has been busy over the last 18 months, these projects keep on going up I guess the clocks ticking, I know of one 2 bed condo when new was 12 million baht I saw it advertised for sale at 9 million baht and they are nice units good construction on a well run project with 4 pools, I own a couple of 1 bedroom apartments in the same block it has been a good rental unit for the last 5 years if I was to sell I would be lucky to get my money back, seems like a few are for sale and they are hovering around the original sale price from 5 years ago,
  2. I guess they cant start clearing the site as it is a crime scene, things here dont move to fast
  3. Must be some truth in it, we received an email from airbnb the other day, Strong growth in Chinese outbound travel demand 爱彼迎发布最近报道:中国用户出境游需求增长强劲 Airbnb has recently released the “Summer Outbound Travel Trend Report”, which reveals that the search volume for outbound travel among Chinese users during early summer (July 1 – 15) has skyrocketed nearly sixfold, showing a strong growth momentum. So far, Airbnb's Chinese users are expected to check in to their Airbnb stays in nearly 10,000 cities and towns across 194 countries and regions worldwide this summer, building a deeper connection with the world. The top ten trending destinations for this summer are Thailand, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia, Italy, Malaysia, and South Korea.
  4. It's not exclusive to Thailand, seems like every other day in the UK is one,
  5. wait until they get their hands on the boy who is the father
  6. What ever you decide to do, Im told not to draw the curtains let some sunlight get in, I knew of a guy here in Phuket left his condo for 1 year, what a mess and difficult to get rid of the smell
  7. I knew of an agent who moved in, she didn't realize the electric was paid by direct debit, the electric bill so the owner called a friend to go and take a look, sure enough all the agents clothes were there,
  8. More likely she will be a Muslim from that area
  9. what I always found strange was putting sugar in their food,
  10. for Thai's everything has to be sweat,
  11. Update to you guys who have not been to Phuket for some years, many people complain about the price of taxi's and you are right, but now we have a few new taxi app's and I would say they are reasonable a couple of months ago i did have to use one of them a few times, always on time and new cars one day i was alone and a Fortuna came for me, the fare was 250 baht, were the mafia taxi's would have been anywhere between 400 to 500 baht,
  12. Make sure you don't leave any bad reviews on trip advisor,
  13. Thats what they are fining the rental companies for renting bikes without a license, I was told here in Phuket it's 3000 baht
  14. 2000 baht thats cheap, more than that in Phuket, start confiscating the bikes and cars, they will soon stop,
  15. down here in Phuket i see it's a big problem the kids have to much money these days, just go to my 7/11 early mornings and see the kids all buying junk pizza slices and drinks,
