  1. It's Patong Beach. Story about a Kata development.
  2. Just look at the drone photo (not copied here). Clearly the avalanche source was the car park extension.
  3. Called Big Buddha. Huge development
  4. Sadly you are correct ...
  5. Very heavy rain all night. We woke due to roof leak over bed about 04.30. Head ambulances about 07.00. Saw traffic backing up on Patak road. Thought a car accident past Kata School. By 08.00 still sirens. And I noticed the sea at Kata Beach had a red band of silt. I looked right from my balcony and could see the steep hill had slid down. Lucky I did not park our car there as too much rain for our usual morning Kata front walk.
  6. 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.
  7. Not much rain south end of the Island
  8. Not beautiful and must maintain respect for Heroines
  9. Another report says he slewed into 5 roadside vendors and those were the injured.
  10. 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.
  11. Far too fast for that bend. Idiot driver.
  12. Here in Kata Karon rain was light from 06.00 to 12.00. My CCTV over in Patong did not show heavy rain. Think flooding localised. Kamala, Chern Talay, and Thalang looked bad.
  13. And excellent free health without waiting in the long queue. That's why he turned himself in .....
  14. How could have stayed in Thailand for almost 30 years on a fake passport ? Renewed passport each 10 years ? UK home office got a lot to answer.
  15. I second them. Used them myself for probate work.
  16. Yes Yes and Yes. I overstay think they can just get out of Thailand with a free card that is not justice.
  17. After he paid the fine. Think max is 20k Baht.
  18. 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.
  19. Aways need clean out ground well every few years
  20. Kata Beach & Kata Village. Close enough to all entertainment. Taxi over Patong and bus into malls in Chalong/Phuket town
  21. 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.
  22. I did that for 8 years in the Med on a 36ft ketch. Great life. Only sold the boat when I moved to Thailand.
  23. 6 month old post.
