phuket expats & visitors

[klause]

Hi

as I have been informed  Phuket is a quite  large island ; patong ; kamala ;katu ; rawai;chalong ;south ;north   and etc.

in which part of phuket "German speaking" visitors or expats more than  other nations existing or residence ?( german;swiss;austrian)

 

 * just and example : even people say in krabi "ao nang" there are mix tourists

 but the Norwegians are more than other nations visitors and expats  in krabi ao nang for sure .

* another example : Pattaya : 1.British 2.usa 3. Russian  4. german 5. indian  visitors and expats  most

 

how is Phuket general in that case ?

Thanks

Lots of Germans everywhere on Phuket, lots of chinese, russians, french, brits, and many

other nationalities also, the place is overrun with foreigners.

Quite strange for a tourist spot eh??

:-) nothing is strange ; simply I would like to settle in the place where more German speaking expats residence ; easy to understand I think.

OP, I know what you are looking for and I am sure there are some areas with a German population. A good indication would be the local restaurants etc, drive around and find the German Swiss etc restaurants and chances are thats a German expat place.

its too cold weather in Germany to live  as same as all around in Europe ; by the way  its also quite disturbing here  listening  day and night drunk ; noisy;rowdy;impudent; foul-mouthed Anglos next to my door. got it ?

Aside from the weather ....you're probably gonna have the SAME problem in Phuket!

Germans does drink much more surely but they drink alcohol  from mouth not from ass; actually we do not  talk here about drink ; we talk about behaviors after drink , its not a nationality case in fact ; its a culture and education case . basta

Most Germans I have met don't need to have a drink to be a royal pain in the proverbial.

That's a bit harsh BP.

 

Most expats indulge in foods, alcohol, movies, and sports from their home country here. 

 

They certainly tend to frequent establishments that cater for certain nationalities, usually due to the owner being of the same nationality. Nothing new about this.

 

In most cities, all around the world, certain immigrants end up in certain areas.  Many times these areas are given nick names.  Eg.  Little Italy, China Town etc. 

 

The OP left himself exposed to a post like yours, but I would think he is just enquiring where most of his fellow countrymen are residing so it's easier for him to meet new friends through ease of conversing. 

 

A newbie has to start somewhere.

Its sad that some expats when they come to Thailand want to settle with the same. Then why move?

 

Is not the reason for moving a change of scenery? Something new?  A change in the kind of people one lives around? A change of cultures?

 

All I was saying that if he wants to settle to be around Germans .....settle in Germany

I cant believe I actually agree with NamKangMan, a first time for everything, lol.

People cant see the irony in posting on an English (launguage) expat forum, about "not" seeking out people they have something in common with.

If you want more germans around then live in germany.

Isn't it strange that in tourist areas like Phuket and Pattaya there are germans, brits, americans and many other nationalities ......    who would have guessed  !!

Rawai / Nai Harn.

Me too. The world has gone mad.

[grumpyoldman]

beachproperty and phuketjock you guys must be pretty bored  to spend time banging out troll posts.............why not provide a civil answer or just not post (?) as opposed to sarcastic nonsense. Get real.

 

OP stop in for lunch at Fatty's in Chalong and get the opinion of the owner there.

 

Also, possibly consider what it is you like to do everyday, what is important to you in your daily life and decide which part of the island provides that for you as opposed to ethnicity of neighbors.

 

Cheers to all and carry on !

Patong has a German / Austrian triangle around the Patong Grand Condo, otherwise you find lots of German speakers in Chalong, Rawai and Nai Harn

However, most of them are retirees and older, so not always an exciting company...

There are several German-owned bars and hotels on Phuket; and specifically in Patong. I like the Mangmoom Bar and Cross-Roads Guesthouse, Patong. Snorre is the owner; he knows almost every German in Phuket, the food is great, and the rooms are clean, convenient and reasonable. Look them up on facebook and talk to Snorre.

As far as Rawai goes, there's a fair bit of German activity: Guzzlers on Rawai Beach Rd is German owned, the Deutche Bundesleague (a small bar down a Soi off Sai Yuan) the Garten Lauben restaurant on  Sai Yuan 1, and of course Fattis as mentioned by the GOM earlier.

nowadays, this is not a valid recommendation anymore: In Germany, he would be surrounded by Turk, Arab, Nepalese, all blends of deep-tanned Zahel zone negros, Vietnamese, Paki, all blends of former Eastern Block sibblings and neighbours the like who would not speaka his language...Phuket has a clear advantage for him: He can freely converse in his native lingo

 

Btw: Most above nationals are the guests of that country's chancellor, they poured into the abundant meadows of milk and honey with throwing away their passports at the border crossing: This guaranteed them multiple identities, thus immediately qualifying for total social relief. No wonder that speaking "da lingo Sherman" has very low priority, nobody in the neighbourhood speaka da lingo anyway...

^^ Thurien, Why don't you go back to the sinkhole you came from?

[mrmicbkktxl]

Oh man,he asked a normal question and used normal language,if you can't answer why bother with stupid input?TV is a forum for all kind of nationalities,if you don't like certain nationalities keep it for you or leave the forum or open a forum by yourself with nationalities you prefer.

 

Like somebody else said,there are many german,austrian and swiss restaurants,specialy  Patong,I'm sure you will find information there.

 

By the way google is your friend,I found this  'Fruehschoppen Phuket'

Kata/Karon has many German/Swiss bars and restaurants, also German bakery in Karon.

 

OP - suggestion?  If you are thinking of living here why not spend a few weeks in a hotel in all of the areas previously mentioned?  Then you might get a better viewpoint of where you would like to eventually settle.

I suppose that if the OP finds his Shangrila filled with his own countrymen,then he wont have to deal with the 'towels on sunbed's' problem!
