And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
A dump and that was before the hordes descended from the Soviet steppes and China. Traffic awful, everywhere trying to rip you off. Much nicer and more authentic places in Thailand. IMHO. I'm sort of glad you think that (and others too) as it should mean you will find other places, and if enough people have your view, the increasing trend of Phuket's population will hopefully stabilize with time. As research and why - ANYONE who objectively did research would see the obvious - but some only want the fabulous sand and empty beaches of 1/2 century ago - something that has not been in Phuket for decades. What Phuket offers those expats who stay? I thought it obvious, but I guess not so let me note some of the points: International airport relatively close to the entire island MANY (relatively) quality hospitals near by most locations in Phuket Immigration office relatively close to most locations in Phuket Banking in many spots in Phuket Many quality stores / shopping malls English language cinema for those who want such Massive selection of good restaurants of many cuisines (especially relevant to expats in the know) A number of international schools Condos/villas with fabulous views Quiet scenic locations away from the crazy western tourist beaches (for those who take the time and effort to find such ) Many tours (diving and boating expeditions to near by islands ) originate from Phuket Easy to get by with English language For those (not me) tourists/expats who want night life? Phuket's scene is 3rd to only Bangkok and Pattaya Downsides? Its not the isolated serene beach that many dream of Its expensive relative to most of the rest of Thailand (but still cheaper than most of the western world) Main tourist beaches that the ill informed flock to are crazy and IMHO ugly due to the masses Traffic in main arteries is ugly in high season, and also ugly during rush hour in low season. My experience is many are ILL INFORMED and think before coming to Phuket it will be an isolated serene beach with all the modern conveniences. They are in variably disappointed. My hope ? That everyone seizes on the negatives, and go elsewhere in Phuket. I am not keen on seeing the traffic get any worse. I am not too worried about the quiet areas being discovered and properly assessed as most don't take the time and effort to properly do such. For me? That is good. Thailand has MANY great areas - so I urge others to find places OTHER than Phuket. Many ( not all thou) of the good points I mention can be found for a cheaper price. -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Why is this war really widening? Did we not have former President Jimmy Carter provide commentary back in the day. President Jimmy Carter- Israeli Apartheid Please ask yourselves why the body count of women and children that are being massacred daily justify the current barbarism. -

No we clutch our pearls because she represents the power mad, pandering lying Leftist democratic party with their murderous ideology. -

Why Kamala Harris was always destined to lose
This is on topic and on this issue I will be proved correct again. The only reason Joe stayed in office this year was to pardon Hunter after his trials. Under no circumstances will Joe exit his office and leave his son in Federal prison where he belongs. Absolutely no chance. The "51 intelligence officers" who interfered in the 2020 election with their flat out lie about "Russian misinformation" re Hunter's laptop left a political grenade in their wake. Harris is left holding that grenade. -

Thai Exchange for non-residents
It also depends on your nationality, if you’re American it will be very difficult. BitKub wants identity and proof of address (blue book), Check out the website and see if you can do anything with a lower transaction limit. -

Why Kamala Harris was always destined to lose
Tell that to Harris, her words not mine. BTW Is Bruce Springsteen now a "warmonger"? Or how would you define his Harris choice? Oh how about the rest? All traitors? Dumb singers and stupid republicans (like that mayor in Milwaukie? For every endorsement you people come up with a new way of defending your own mistakes. You know you're wrong but are just to plain scared to admit it to yourself. Growing up as you tell me to d is facing your fears and mistakes. So be my guest and start with looking at yourself before accusing others. It's polite and the right way people interact with each other.
