I foresee this as a huge health issue. And it will not take long before it manifests its presence. The Gov will be in full panic mode. I hope not ..... but ....

WoW. Just notice Lotus's on Nanai Road stripped out, Edit .... already reported ...Doh

Slight aside. Lotus's in Kata also cleaned out .... gone. I guess SuperCheaps won that battle. Kata Karon packed with visitors. Our long stay home rental business full both Patong and Kata. What a turn around.

Well it's almost here. Been a difficult last 2 years for us. Good times seems to be back again.

Very true. We know a few small guest houses owners who cant find staff. True they can only pay minimal wages and no extras. Tough for us small scale businesses. Thats life.

Only count to end October. Russian flood from November,

My understanding this is a safety issue. In the dark the rear reflectors of parked vehicle will glow up in the head lights of the oncoming vehicle. That assume oncome vehicle has lights on or not ghost riding ????

Well she asked me what happens if I don't pay. I state YOU PAY. Interesting when she parked she saw other cars clamped. Wondered why ..... .....

Wife walks Karon beach every day 17.00. Parks car near the Hilton. Car clamped. Parked front into oncoming traffic. 500 Baht fine. Beware. Cops on the make.

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.

Well. I made , my retirement extension in November. Never had to supply Notification of Address.

Never seen a breakers yard. But there is a net work of strip down spares know only to repair shop. Ask a repair shop. They will know.

Yes, I applied last year and got appointment 3 months later. I photo receipt and carry it. But I was never stopped,. I drive car. Not much help .....

quite a few bends each side. Road can be quite slippery in damp weather. And folks drive too fast.

Khun Suwan 081 4322190 . works out of Kathu. Used him for 25 years

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 .....

More about deforestation for land development.

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.

All seems back normal now

Plenty of money to be made and shared about. Customer not need keep big money in Thai bank. Obvious.

2 or 3 in Kata Karon

BHP now has 2 eye clinic. I use the specialist one called Bright Vision. More specialist care.

I know a Bangla big bar owner. Years ago he gave up with unleliable Thai workers. Brings all his staff in from Phillipines.

I second that place. Use all the time. But really not any cheaper same for same Makro, but larger selection. I you really want a real price blowout then Villamarket is the place. Think 3 stores about Phuket. One Chalong roundabout.
