Been a long time since I have posted about Patong. I rarely travel over there from Kata. We are well into the process of selling our 2 home rental businesses. One bought and gone the other in negotiation. Rolled into Patong 1996, built apartments, made money, moved over Kata in 2006 when bult a little condo building over there. Witnessed a lot of changes along Nanai Road. Jungceylon was built. Interesting to witness. Happy to not be there any more. Bare able drive along Nani during Covid but not now. Bye Patong.

There is quite a steep curve in the underpass. Caused other folks to crash over the years.

Thanks for that stevenl. Clearly he should have not been driving in tunnel. As a 'local' he should have known that.

Not individuals. But there are a number of legal ways to buy/own land by company or proxy. A Thai lawyer easy make it happen.

Sadly I expect you walk away after you are bled dry with legal fees and promises promises to make all good for just a few dollars more.

Not the apps it's the drivers that are illegal "illegal taxi app drivers"

I have nothing good to say about Thai Lawyers. And I speak with bitter personal experience.

Another car moving at speed appears to have jumped the light. Then the taxi came along. The mbike must have seen that first car and should have be more careful. He was lucky the taxi did not tbone him. Likely would have been fatal.

Here I look right then left then right. Approaching traffic comes in left side lane. So that's the immediate risk. Then look traffic left in far side of road way.

Pickup travel left to right at high speed. Struck the bike (I suspect bike middle road signal right turn). Pick up hits bike and slews clockwise across road facing wrong way on right side side walkway.

Recent news story says that police removed the campers on Patong Beach.

2 week ago drove from Kata to airport. Mid week about 10.30. Usual one hour ish.

Yes. Dr Captain is excellent. Last year I had cataract removal and implant lens. And I have only one working eye so I put all my trust in him to retain my sight. Been my eye doctor for over 10 years now. Not cheap but he is the best on Phuket Island.

I agree that all the BKK Group hospitals are first class. However they charge 5 star prices fully loaded. We have always had heath insurance to pay all the inpatient bills. My last procedure just in September I was shocked to see the final price when i signed the paper work.

Not property vallue. Only the daily turnover of gambling business

Only auto AC

Yes. Need police report in province you are registered living in.

Likely he had a friend/wife with him to give details

That image where ??? Not Royal Marina

Clearly 80 days overstay requires arrest. He was way out of order and even if have 20k money in hand Thai Immigration are not going to smile and say ok on you go. They are going to say we need to detain and interview you and find out why you stayed so long.

Dark Side ??? You talk Pattaya. ?? This Phuket Forum

I can only recommend the guy in Chalong just past Wat Chalong going north left side about 500m. Over the years I have had poor service the other options. Now stay with this guy 3 years now.

The entire Phuket Forum has gone very very quiet .....

All the roads are much busier now. Many more minibuses and see a lot more large buses.
