Not many Chinese tourists right now and no more reef walking. But yes, agree with your general assessment. Racha Yai is a nice end of the day but divers have to take care due to boat traffic.
The suspect allegedly stole a brand name watch and cash worth about 25,000 Euros
Stated correctly. Unless you know that the claims of the victim about the amount of cash and theft of a brand name watch are correct.
Phuket has asked for that a long time already since it would financially benefit Phuket. Apparently Phuket puts in more than it gets out of the government coffers.
I was wondering the same. I guess it would depend on how they filled out the application. 'pilot of a submersible going to 4000 meters deep' sounds different from 'manager of a tour company '.
