Yes.

Drive on the left.

Wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.

Don't drive drunk.

Wear sunscreen on the beach.

Watch the red flags on the beach and don't swim if they are flying.

Don't swim whilst drunk.

Always wear a condom, even when not having sex, that way, you won't forget when you are.

Don't take drugs.

Don't fall in love with a girl who promises to love you for a long time. She's lying.

Don't fall in love with property that the estate agent says you can own for ever. He is lying.

Don't drink Chang beer. It's nasty.

Don't give your ATM or Visa card to anyone.

Don't take Tuk-Tuks.

Don't believe half of what you read on forums.

Have a good holiday.

The condom have been on for ages, Im always drunk anyway, and I never fall in love unless I can drink it. :)

See all soon.

If you can, get a red t-shirt with "f*#$ united I love Thaksin" printed. Will go down a storm with the local city supporters.

Umbrella's handy as well at the mo.

Dont hire a jetski. Dont drink tap water and dont swim at the beach. Dont forget to have fun.

bring lots of money for partying and call me when you get here :)

?????? why don't swim at the beach?????

i swim everyday at the beach its fantastic its why i come to Phuket the beach...????

Because of the rip - during the low season, there are strong undercurrents at all the western side beaches and many drownings (Thais included). If you want to swim here, come during high season (when the winds and currents change direction).

Now Im back in Norway, but it wont be long before Im going back. Had a blast of a holiday, and didnt see any of the things you warned about. Even played for offshore bar in the Patong pool league with "JJ" on my team. :-))

Just a tip: If you wanna play a pool tournement, every wednesday they have a tournement at Absolute bar. The tournement is very good, and there are also some good players there.

See you soon Phuket. :-)
