So you never Answered the question's asked Thaiwanderer you only told us about how Phuket would be the same as it always was so as a new member to the board would you like to explain just what Phuket would do if they did not have Fallangs pumping money into it.Or are you that biased that you are unwilling to accept that without us you will be back in the dark age's scatching out a living to exist.

If it was'nt for stupid farrangs like me Thai wanderer or G/K where would your resort be now. Would the local community sustain itself I dont think so you talk about Farrang greed and look at yourself before you slag Patong well explain to us stupid farrangs why or what was the reason the Director of the Jintana was assasinated and the owner of the Farrang resturant was shot by 2 thais on a bike or the Canadian riped off for 20 mill by his thai buisness partner then took out by assasins Explain why your local police can be bribed need i go on. Where would you be if the stupid farrangs left, well let me tell you , back in the paddies knee deep in Buffalo shit planting rice. I will tell you what the thais think of us Walking AtMs full stop. How have the farrangs who were killed on the 1 -2 go Air crash remembered Answear - not even a reminder when you fly into Phuket International . Look at your rememberance wall for the Tsunami a disgrace yes the locals do have a short memory how many of us stupid farrangs gave money to your appeal and helped after the tsunami and what do we get in return Scammed , robbed , and Murdered welcome to the pearl of the Andaman.

Im afraid Phuket or should I say Patong as that is the Hub fot Phuket has had its last chance a long time ago. There has been many many postings on this in the past, yet Either the Mayor or the Head of Touris'm has ignored and not listened to the people who know I'e people like me. Yes I am a visitor for only a short period but I spend my hard earned cash when im there. This is what I expect from a destination who's purpose is to give people like me pleasure for 2 weeks.

1 A safe clean Enviroment.

2 A place where I am not Scammed at every opportunity.

3 A place I can travel about without the risk of being mugged.

4 A place I am not charged more because i am a tourist.

5 A Hotel where my belongings will not be stolen by staff.

6 A Country where Iam welcomed and "not as a potential Target".

7 And finally as soon as I pass through customs not to be met by an army of over zealouse people trying to scam me to take me to my desired resort.

These are the things I look for when im ready to throw my cash around. Some might agree some might not, but sadly the above is going on everyday in your belov'd Phuket is it worthy of the crown of the jewel in the Andaman I for 1 do not think so.

Agree fully with the 1st post i 1st went to patong in 2006 and it was fantastic ist time on the beach sun factor 5 result severe sun burn. Answear trip to the massage everyday no more sun or swimming but hey the bangla. Went back next year what a diff, ripped off and scammed every minute i stepped out of my hotel went foe a road side snack me and the tirac 2 piece's chicken 30 baht for her 80 baht for me being farrang. same with tuk tuks taxi's indian tailors with aussie asscents couldn't walk 10 yards without getting hassled by over bearing touts or unfriendly bar girl's ive never seen a place change so fast. Now we have farrang murders and balcony jumpers ???? on the increase now it seems to be daily. Why should you have to ride to Rawai or surin to get away from the hastle at patong if the mayor knows the problems why are the big boys on the tourist council not doing anything to put these problems right. Like 1 poster said it doesn't matter if they complain theres plenty more tourist well the latest figure's and jet ski opps sitting on the beach will give you the answear. Patongs greed will and has put a lot off people off traveling there now.

Is it true to keep calling Thailand LOS I think its time that term was dropped as Thailand is not the land of smile's the mob has ended that 1. Why were the main perpertrators not arrested for the damage they caused to the kingdom. Murder of farrangs is on the increase muggings, thefts, Scams, even some local papers are to scare'd to print the crime rate's and what is the gov't doing ZILTCH.

The police are just as corrupt as the beach peddlers the only time they bother to solve a crime is when they can get there picture on the front page aressting druggies is about there limit, who ran away at swampy airport when the mob rushed them. very reliable so is Thailand Truly the land of smile's.
