agree, in the uk if you are caught over the limit ( limit being 2 pints of beer ) you automatically lose your licence for a year !, and after that it is very difficult to get motor insurance
they need to impose a proper point system on the licences here, but only problem with this is the BIB wouldnt inforce as they like there tea money...
We are not in the UK. . or Australia
I agree drunk driving is bad but if u start license point systems and things of that nature. .ur just turning Thailand into another law flooded western country. .

I mean people are saying that Phuket tourism is dead and then turning around and saying the beaches are overcrowded?. . .
I was at Nai Harn yesterday and there was 1 row of beach chairs. . and they werent being used . .it didnt bother me I walked past them and sat on my towel .. there was literally 20 people on the entire beach. . of course there are going to be massage palors, 7/11s, ladybars, and pharmacies. . supply and demand. . Of course it is nothing like the 80's. . but lets be realistic here. .
Phuket is a tourist destination. . Chewang beach and lamai beach are 10x worse than Nai Harn. .

Like I said many times before, after Phuket is turned into a sh1tehole the tourists will move on to better places... and there are a lot in Asia.
Tourists don't like
overcrowded places,
demolished nature
tuk-tuk and jet-ski scams,
beach chairs like no one can see sand anymore
and no safety at all on the roads.
The current exchange rate does the rest.
But no problem here for me. I hope the island will become what it once was, without millions of tourists. If you made money on tourism and now don't, sorry but that's not the locals' fault!
If you are one of these guys who bought a Rai for a million, cut it in 4 pieces for 4 million each and sit now on your property...som nam na.
I still think alot of you are confusing Patong with Phuket. . There are some really nice beaches other than Patong in Phuket. . Patong is one of many beaches. in which none of the above are bad. . Koh Samui and Koh Phangan are getting just as bad as Patong. . ...so If your disliking Phuket based on patong its really your own fault .. Its like saying bangkok is all sex bars because u spent a week at Nana. . . . I was at Nai Harn Beach the other day and it was amazing.. not overcrowded at all..was not stopped by a single tout. .there are a ton of nice resturants and bars in the area..

Not only the store owners but now the police..everywhere u look a policeman is writing a ticket to a farang or locking their bikes together for a parking violation..then they make the farang walk or pay for a tuk tuk to the police station to pay the fine..
But I do hate when people speak if Phuket as if it is only patong..Phuket is huge and there are still a couple of nice beaches to be found..

You can live on 65K especially with no alcohol. but its def not a lot of money and i wouldnt expect to save or send much home...
most decent apartments are between 10 and 20K a month. . alot of this depends on what area you live and work
So after taxes you're looking at about 58K ...after apartment and utilities youre down to 45K a month...11,000 baht a week ...1,600 baht a day. .
food, coffee, fitness, entertainment, transport, basic needs stuff add up too. .
As a single guy ..even without alcohol dating gets expensive
with that said I have lived on a similar wage and was fine. . and Im a drinker and travel a bit. . I lived a good life... had a nice condo. . didnt worry about money but i also didnt save much . .
