Up. 

Does anyone knows about restaurant from old/burnt SuperCheap? It was situated closely to foodcourt by the left side of old building. 

I have seen small shop on ground floor of Index furniture shop. Sorry if it's too late.

They all vary to a degree, so any heads up on which one is known for best exchange rates on Phuket would be appreciated thanks.

The best and reliable I know is "Airport exchange". It is just opposite of way out from old (domestic) terminal. Their main biz is car rentals, exchange occupies small booth inside.

Big Supercheap in Phuket town.

Madmax2,  you may leave your sad private experince with you.

beechbum, it is really much more expensive than I found in Central Festival.

Xaos,  it seems, you haven't read my initial post.

Hello everyone!

Where could I purchase anything similar:

http://www.fbtsports.com/en/store/detail.php?IBLOCK_ID=11&SECTION_ID=45&ELEMENT_ID=2163

Original was found damaged in Central Festival' Supersport with retail price THB 10,800. FTB (maker' main office in BKK) keeps silence.

Has anybody faced with smilar extortion by immigration officers in Phuket airport? You had option to await in common queue or to pay 500 baht and follow through "diplomatic" (or Thai citizen) way which was situated on the right side of border passes. I have never used their services, however, last summer when returing here from HongKong one of the officers persistently troubled us asking "where us your visa?", "you need visa!" etc. It was quiet night time and only several chinese and arabs had applied to them, so, they were eager to get new "victims". I spend in Phuket only 3 months during year (one winter month and 2 summer months with 1 visa-run or 60 days tourist visa), so overstay etc is not my case. Only when I asked him to bring me to his boss he shut up and stamped me usual 30 days.

However, all that mess happend in "old terminal", not new one. 

Move my post another thread if it is OFF.

I intend to leave car for 3 nights since 22 July, will depart ay 1 am. Any changes in parking rules since last post?

It is US$380 including shipping into UK http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Two-Wheels-Smart-Self-Balancing-Scooters-Drifting-Board-Electric-FOR-segways/32432796738.html

But you will need to pay some taxes I'm afariad..

I do recommend maps2go app for Android smartphones. It has high scaled map of Phuket.

Has anybody got any experince to ship 23andme DNA tests via Thailand Post into US? Any restrictions? How to declare them? Highly appreciate any valuable comments.

Got a HUUUGE spider in luggage compartment..

Went to the Navrang Mahal all you can eat buffet last Friday at Karon.

The food was exceptional, and with real basmati rice. The vindaloo was to die for. Samosas were excellent and all other curries and their home made asha and chutney was also very good. Nice Philipino band with 2 pretty girls. 2 types of lassi as part of the buffet.

Nice ambiance and attentive staff, most of the time. 449B per.

We have visited it last Friday. Note, 449 baht is nett: in fact you pay 449 +10% service charge +7% VAT. As I and my son are big fans of curry and spice food we couldn't miss it. However, only one dish (vindaloo) is more or less spicy, others are generally edible without "tears in my eyes". Staff kindly advised "our curry is mild" and that was true. Variety is just what you can read in advertising, not more! Total about of dishes could be more diversified. Generall we like it, but it is a bit overpriced, IMHO.

I've also got camera from Japan, but it has English!

It was moved to new building behind Central Festuval. Price is 519 baht now..

I suggest it is some kind of trick: I visit Istanbul very regularly (twice per year), MINIMUM cost is about $35, usual is $50. £6 must be subway or bus ride, not taximeter! Having been in Munich in March we paid exactly 35 Euro. So, I wouldn't refer to above source as true one..

Was it just a terrible wine in your opinion, or was it "off" (due to heat/age etc)? I've had two box wines which were "off" and really couldn't drink them, so took them back.............but that's another story!

How could I return it if I already opened it? Not sure about "off", but wine is really terrible. Nothing to add. Last time we bought some Italian 5L pack in same Makro and it was OK, no headache, average quality..

We've purchased 4.5 l of Cedar Creek Red 2012 (Makro), but result was only headache after usual daily glass.. Worst wine i bought here.

1/2 OFF: I'd appreciate if anybody recommend me English teacher with basic Russian skills for my daughters. PM me.

Mr. NamKangMan, you had chosen wrong company. What region had you visited? Yes, somebody drinks, but most of people consume moderately. People who drinks vodka at every meal are sick, simply alcoholics. As to "well documented" i again say it is myth.

Mr. NamKangMan, how many times have you visited Russia? Seems never.. Otherwise you wouldn't post here links with absolutely bull shit. i read A LOT of similar "articles" with pure theories which are too far to real life.

Russian men have a huge alcoholism rate. It is one of the most serious problems in Russian society. They are very macho with the big drinking but many are early dead. You choose.

This is not true, kind of myth. Very funny to read these speculatons anyway.. I barely drink myself (red wine sometimes, good brandy etc) and all my frends and surroundings do not drink much. Surely, i know a couple of often drinking guys, but never touch with them (all of them are from Far East Russia).

PS yeah, i'm from St-Petersburg myself.

Fly air asia to KL or Penang.

Never heard AA flies to Penang.. Or any another way?

our manners is really changes from west to east of Russia for low but this is not a rule.

Also don't forget that people who speaks russian are not necessarily russian nationality.

Nothing to add!

Russian New Year festivities tend to go on for several days, and be warned that their Orthodox Christmas Day is on Monday 7th January.

Ortodox X-mas is very quiet and usually not celebrated by youngsters.

I'm sure you have to apply to visit police and make written claim to avoid such situation in future.
