If she really needs to go to Bangkok she could always take the first flight up and the last flight back to phuket, she doesnt have to take a bus.
amazing to hear she doesn’t have an email address - I thought everyone had one by now. 🤣

For years it’s been obvious that an integrated public transport service is needed, and Covid was the perfect opportunity to implement it, but sadly this was not done.
the ridiculous “taxi” system of cars parked up for miles on end claiming public land to run business from, and only ever doing one way journeys, returning empty, means traffic will never improve.
A fleet of c20 seater buses, running a schedule across the island (like you have in places like Hong Kong) is clearly the answer - and all the “taxi” drivers could drive them.
Oh well. Let’s build more roads instead.

There certainly is a certain irony in this article !
although to be fair to South Korea my ex went on an organised tour with 30+ other Thais. When it came to go home, she was the only one who turned up for the group bus to the airport, the rest of them scarpered to go and work illegally !

I thought he had a heart condition? How does a cast and neck brace help that? My medical knowledge is not great.

I don’t really understand what this means in real terms - does this actually mean that for three weeks I run the gauntlet of someone chucking a bucket of water over me as I go to work? I get it for a couple of days but surely this doesn’t meant water throwing for three weeks?

I was just wondering recently what the purpose of the checkpoint is. Now I wonder even more.

As we are in Phuket this week I can confirm it is rammed with Russians, Indians and Arabs. Seen a few Chinese about but not many. Definitely busy again, even in the pouring rain.

We have a three stage water filtration system under the kitchen sink, it has a UV filter as well. I bought a water testing kit in the UK and tried both tap water and the filtered water.
the filtered water had much lower levels of lead and other chemicals.
been drinking it for two years now without any issues - changed the filters after a year.
hope that helps ?

You can download a pdf statement of your account and print that. It’s certainly not illegal in the UK to have paper statements.
as for the need to have £10k to get a visa, can’t help you but sounds ridiculous

If you want to be looked down on by everyone as a pikey then it’s fine, but it’s very low class and Thai people will not like it.

The saddest part for me is that Phuket had two years of Covid to introduce a proper public transport system - I suggested many times a minibus route map similar to that in Hong Kong using the same style of small bus, and gainfully employing all the tuktuk drivers to drive them. This would have meant that tourists don’t need to rent extremely dangerous scooters.
this would resolve:
the “taxi only” parking that plagues Patong
the massive congestion caused by the taxis
The huge number of injuries and deaths from local and tourist scooter riders
reduce pollution and increase air quality
make phuket a far nicer place to visit so more people will return and it will attract the quality tourists that TAT say they are after.
But no - sadly this opportunity has been wasted, there will likely never be another chance.
I see the Chinese tourists are already wobbling around the island on scooters, girlfriend on the back glued to her phone. Saw a few of them with bandages legs out last night !

That would seem to be an extremely daft comment when even the Chinese funded WHO have recently stated that China needs to be more open about what’s going on with Covid in china as even they (the WHO) have no idea what mutations and strains are going around in China at the moment.
So how on earth can this “doctor” make such a statement?
nonsense!

Thank you ezzra, I think this is the best solution. It’s a shame as I think it could go back on the road as a cheap runaround for someone but I don’t want the hassle.
thanks everyone !

My apologies if this is a daft question but I have an old scooter that I no longer need, for me it’s past economical repair needing a new carb, sorting a minor fuel leak, needs new tyres etc.
any suggestions as to what I can do with it? I see plenty dumped at the roadside but I am NOT going to do that. I would happily give it to a motorbike shop for them to fix up and use or sell on, but what can I do about the green book? The scooter is in my name, and to transfer it to anyone else is a real hassle as the bike doesn’t run, but if I just give it to someone with the book, and they rack up tickets / fines / run around committing crimes with it etc I clearly don’t want to be responsible for that.
Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this please?
or anyone want a scooter ? ????
many thanks

Dear all
my Indonesian wife has visited thailand many times, each day being given a stamp for 30 days on arrival at the airport. We returned yesterday and she was given 45 days on her stamp, the IO also wrote “45” next to the stamp. Is this correct? Has something changed recently for Indonesian arrivals?
I have asked Mr Google but everything I can find says “30 days”
would be interested if anyone knows any different please.
thanks so much !
