Only certain areas of Phuket are busy, Monday evening in Rawai at the Seafood market was not busy, Usually full of tourist this time of the year, 

If I have a drive around the area all the bike rental shops are full of bikes,

Is there still 300 baht rooms and can you get a beer and a bird for £10  after buying your fake degree? Might be worth a visit if I can

 

Sadly,no.

 

The products you list are still available, but you will need to adjust your cost estimates upwards by a considerable amount😉

Thailand does not smile anymore. The new generations have no knowledge of hospitality and they have no work ethics. 40 years ago more people spoke English, now almost none. Even with their smartphone application they can’t make a sale. Rama 9 spent so much money to educate the Thai, one wonders if this money has not been totally wasted.

I agree a previous comment said they changed  everything and then hoped it would be ok. Should have left it the way it was,maybe modernise  a few things,but they completely changed it  and then that was the end of it

Agree. KSR is done long time ago. And F*** those memories "I've been there in 90s!" 

So what? 

Marco Polo hostel was 120thb? many hostels were not more than 200thb. 

Pad Thai for the price of burger? 

Everything is vanished from KSR and unfortunately it is normal. 

Thai charm is gone.
