We must be due for a You Tube clip by someone parking their car there and being surrounded by the tuk-tuk drivers and told they can't park there. smile.pngsmile.png

I support your bid, when are you going?tongue.png

All the genuine expats i know are still here and more are coming

I am talking about genuine expats some work and have businesses here or have fly in fly out occupations and some

are self funded retirees who have made Thailand their home

None of these people have to do border runs to extend their visas

More tourists coming every year but less of the backpacker type on cheap flights looking for cheap accommodation

they are going to Cambodia and Laos and other countries

OP.".Then the beach road in Patong will be clear & the beach side vendors cleared..... hurrrah"

Maybe wrong thread Ned smile.png

Read #17 and the following posts

OK not just you ....wai2.gif

I don't own a car here, but there's always another You Tube clip just around the corner on Phuket. :) :)

Yes, are there any significant changes along the beach road? Some TV members must have been over there by now..

I have not tried to park on the beach road in Patong in years, no parking available and its not going to change

Plenty of better beaches with lots of parking available on most days

Starting reading this thread about Beach Road parking but now we are into the sex trade and bar girls.

Well has anything happened on Beach Road then?.

Quite right - all those posts removed, including one of my posts.

As I am into the other kind of bird watching, try to surreptitiously take a pic of the empty parking spaces and a cute brown skinned bird walking or flying by, the better.

Looks pretty much the same to me. Maybe a few less tuk tuks but now they are just spreading the 5 they are allowed out a bit instead of touching bumpers like they used too. Still chaos on beach road

Ok no photos as I was on the bike, but if I have time tonight then I will try.

From the Holiday Inn end, I must admit, that I saw a lot less tuk tuks & certainly it appears that you could park. Around the new bananna walk you can forget, I counted 9 tuk tuks & several taxis, I cant say if they were legal or otherwise. These were parked in a clearly signposted area for public parking. The area north around Patong seafood to Bangla was packed & double parked - i counted 12 plus 3 double parked.

Overall I did manage to get home much faster & easier, but it was also not my normal transit time. WIll check again tonight
