For many years Phuket Immigration demand photocopy every passport page incl entry card. Be honest my house registration 90 day is stapled in but I never open and copy. Guess I need do this next year.
Lots of Russians here looking for long term rentals. Most younger guys with wife. All speak good english and work online. They not shy about telling me the reason they left mother land .....
I live on a soi off Patak road in Kata. I can tell you it is a nightmare to exit out our soi. Out for lunch today to Chalong. OMG. Long traffic tails all roads in out of Chalong Circle. We will be stuck with this for many many months/years. Ang high season is round the corner.
About 14.00 try drive from chalong circle along Chaofa East. Bad flood before first traffic lights. Police directing traffic cross link to Chaofa West. Expect west to be worse flooded. Turn round to circle and have nice lunch at Tamarin by the sea.
