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.  

WoW. Just notice Lotus's on Nanai Road stripped out,

Edit .... already reported ...Doh

who want to work for 350 THB a day at least 26 days a month and working hours of  12hrs or more a day???

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.

Where's the Russia numbers ?

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 ???? 

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.

No mistake. Retirement extensions didn't previously require photocopies of the 'Receipt(s) Of Notification of Change of Address'. They do now as I found out in October this 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.

I've read a few reports about crashes o this hill. Can someone please tell me what is so dangerous about it ?

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

More about deforestation for land development.

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.

Are there any local residents of Phuket who are in the area right now and can tell a bit about the flood situation so far today. I ask because I have a wife who has been planning to meet some friends tomorrow for a long time planned, two days midweek hotel break and I am trying to persuade them to postpone this, but as you know ladies who have made up their minds can be difficult to make change their plans????

Felt

All seems back normal now

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.
