Huh ?

@NKM

I to live here and the funny thing is I have never been scammed, pickpocheted or ripped off. So my friends really don't need me to be a "tour guide"

You say you promote Phuket to your friend but you bass Phuket with every post you make, I think I rather not be your friend :-)

I would like to see more positive posting on this threat, Mr. or Mrs. Phronesis is not the only one living here IF he/she is living here at all?

What's sooooo bad about Phuket thats not worse anywhere in the world?

Sorry, I live here and like it and feel foolish to have to apologise to some Phuket haters...

Not everybody hates Phuket, I like it just fine and the OP sure likes his coffee :-)

Funny been living here for 7 years and I have not been to any of the places you mentioned. And I'm not a golfer.

But nice to hear a positive account of Phuket.

I was confused by the title :--)

For the rest of us that aren't from the UK, what are you talking about? The shower hot water? Or the electric hot water pump to make tea with? Go buy a new one in either case!

Sorry I'm not from the UK and did not mention pump. Yes It is for the shower.

@keestha, Had it for about 2 years, yeah cost about 5000--

Guess I'll just buy a new one

Nead some tech advise please, The water coming out is too hot and I cannot adjust it anymore. Broken or fixable ?

So then that old time-honored strategy of stereotyping, and then insulting people to make new friends didn't work out for you, eh? Oh well, you'll get the hang of it eventually. Practice makes perfect and all that.

By the way, is niveau a French word for "how to win friends and influence people"?

Just wondering…

Niveau is French for level, does not say what level.......

OP don't get offended, some people on here are just bitter at your drive and panache for life. So as to help I have rewritten your intro to better explain yourself to the expats here.

Hi everybody I am after meeting people who can pretty much show me how to make a living whilst sitting on my arse doing ... all as I have failed back in the west but am still convincing myself I am young and vibrant at 26.

The fact I never left home or got a job counts not in my proposal to become an international jet set millionaire with your ideas, help, funding, accommodation, transport and last but not least pity.

Please don't let the fact I have the personality of a soggy towel put you off pleeeeaaase.

Sargasm / funny ?? Nah

@ dogpoo and @ britpop

In your working years where you civil servants?

Only people with a mind like yours would like to take away any fun that there is in life.

Don't do this, do not ! do that and if you have to do it it let it be controlled by the authorities..... yeez man a lot of us are in Thailand just to get away from this kind of thinking !

You don't like Songran well stay inside, it's only 1 day per bloody year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the OP's age I was just as arrogant and blissfully ignorent of the real world as him. Of cause we had no Ipod's nor FB so we had to find friends the old fashioned way.

All of us thought we were the centre of the universe :-) BUT there was not a Free-lancers among us since we all held proper jobs, We Started-up years ago and did not have the time to play poker. Stocktraders were some kind of species we've heard of but never met.

All our conversations were very intelligent, we talked about money, football and girls (a bit like now) and we thought everyone above the age of thirty was already dying.

At last rain. My garden is very happy, so am I.

Something strange happening here in Rawai. Something cool and wet falling from the sky. What is this?

I don't know but it woke me up.

Did not last very long :-(

Yes I have another email adress. Now that I think of it. I use Windows Live Mail to collect all my mail. Stange thing is that every single spam message is about weight losing and I don't need to lose any !

I thought it was legal to drive at 15 yrs ?

I am using gmail, use cccleaner and anti virus/adware. The "hackers" I'm talking about are the mostly Russian phisters who attacked some providors as they were blocked.

The last few day's I'm getting more than 100 spam messages where before this was just a few.

Could this have to do with those hackers ? I wonder

For some reason those names are never mentioned could be to avoid legal actions from these unnamed influencial people

Brrr that cat is my hero, I dare not to get this close

I have to agree with a previous poster, no way will I allow any drug test that is randomly done. As years ago I would NOT sign to the Irish custums that I packed my luggage myself an have been keeping an eye on it during the voyage. Who knows what and when they plant something ?

And no I don't do drugs but beer and sigarettes.

I have never had it so hot in my life. Nowadays I must leave the water of my bum gun running for 5 minutes before pointing it at its designated position just to avoid my bum gun burning my bum !

The high-end, big spenders are already leaving Phuket because there are not enough luxery, exclusive things to buy.
