    dont think so, i moved to patong in 85 and bangla was a sealed road
    Fawlty towers was open in the late 80's on the soi leading to the titanic disco>on the left side
    no idea when they had moved

    End of bangla on left was nordic bungalows and than Doolies.
    hang a left on 2000 year road an quick right to Expat hotel and the titanic 

    Just asked a mate who was involved in Faulty Towers in the early days, he said it opened in Bangla in 86. Then the owner opened the Faulty Towers Inn in the Expart Hotel soi in 1990.

    Maybe they were redoing the road but that photo is from 86 at the earliest.

    Probably on the money there, Chief.

     

    This photo was taken looking up Bangla, circa mid to late 70’s.

    That photo is late 80s as you can see the sign for Faulty Towers which opened in 88 or 89.

  3. Hi all.... I'm about to join the que, will apply next week in Bkk. After 25 years here will look at moving back to Oz when the visas come through. Have been married for over 10 years, have two sons with Aussie passports, so no issues there. Will apply for a partner migration visa for the wife and also for her 14 year old Thai son who has lived with us since he was 2. Can i use one 47SP form for the both of them? Question 1 how many people are included in this application but then there isn't a section to fill in all his details other than section to list all her children.

    Thanks in advance and will add my experience as the process comes along.

    Thanks.

  6. Hi,

    I'm wanting to adopt my wife's son who has been living with us since he was 2, now 7. Wife has sole custody of him but the father is still alive. Where do I start and what is needed to legally do this here in Phuket. Also if the above is possible how easy is it to get him an Australian passort, he would also have access to a New Zealand passport if that was easier.

    Thanks
