Patong - The Wake
I just passed my 76th and just about alive and kicking..living the quiet life over here in Kata. My wife sold off our main property in Patong 2 years ago. She still has a small building in Patong and only go over the hill when our handyman needs technical help. I drove over on Tuesday about 09.30 and was surprised at the volume of traffic on Karon road and Nanai Road was very congested.

Phuket Cataract surgery
I highly recommend Dr Captain at Bright Eye clinic at Phuket Bangkok. 2 ywears ago I had cataract removed and varifocal lens insert to my one remaining good/working eye. Cost about 79,000 baht for one eye. Best thing I ever did. Left after less than an hour procedure and on way home it was live a vivid colour movie with full vision. Never realised my vision was that bad for past 5+ years, I recommend this procedure.

Correct.

TIN at Chalong Revenue Office
Have to have a TIN before you can pay any income tax. Years ago when I needed a TIN I had to go to the head tax office in Phuket Town out about 1 km past the Land Office.

Retirement Extension 800k, Phuket
Did my one year retirement last week. What a pain. New room 4 opposite the old room 3. Handles ever sort of long term visa. I arrive 10.00 and no queue cards left (only issue 30 morning session). I had my usual hand drawn map but now they also need a google maps screen shot your location include the lat long reference. I give photos road address sign, house number, home entrance, lounge, all with me in photo.

Cataract Surgery - local alternatives to Bangkok Hospital?
Dr Captain at Bangkok Phuket Bright Eye Clinic has looked after my eyes for 10 years. Yes very expensive but I only have one eye that works. What price keeping my remaining sight. Had cataract removed and lens implant my good eye 2 years ago. He had my full confidence and knew my eye history over 10 years.

Patong - The Wake
As I understand it Bruno owns/manages the hotel Palma Resort. This Mario I thought brother/family first open an Italian restaurant over 15 years ago at the newly built 'Resort' (cant remember the name, still empty, being remodel these past 10 years as condos) on Nanai Road south/opposite of Makro but that place closed after just a few years. Bruno seemed to set up a catering supplies business on Nanai 2 opposite the Palma Resort, AFAIK Bruno manages the hotel and restaurant Capannina. This might old info as I rarely visit our apartments on Nanai 2. Be honest I never see Bruno and only see Mario tese last couple of years. Mario closed the catering supplies shop during covid. Never open again from my observations.

Tax advice
None one has any idea and anyone tells you they can fix it for a fee you should run away fast. We just all have to sit and wait for the situation to become clear. I pay my UK tax on my 2 pensions. If I ever get a tax demand I will just go my local tax office and display my annual Uk taxes paid receipts. I have no idea how the Thai Tax office can administer this huge burden on them.

Are beaches better in Krabi or Phuket?
Kata Beach & Kata Village. Close enough to all entertainment. Taxi over Patong and bus into malls in Chalong/Phuket town

Sinkhole at my well.
Is it a ground well or a storage tank ? I think ground well and water leaching in has eroded the ground. Best fill with rocks and infill gaps with soil.
