[Patong - The Wake]

Get well soon Xylo. I guess you had luck. Could be much more serious. My neighbor of many years had not that luck and died some days ago on mc here. Patong sucks these days and is really dangerous.

Been a long time since I have posted about Patong. I rarely travel over there from Kata. We are well into the process of selling our 2 home rental businesses. One bought and gone the other in negotiation. Rolled into Patong 1996, built apartments, made money, moved over Kata in 2006 when bult a little condo building over there. Witnessed a lot of changes along Nanai Road. Jungceylon was built. Interesting to witness. Happy to not be there any more. Bare able drive along Nani during Covid but not now. Bye Patong.

Well done LIK. I also sold my patong home and moving. Many long timer moved since the end of covid. Patong was perfect in covid time. A flashback to the 90' when patong was paradise. But since ~1 year it's not worth it and way way to dangerous in all aspects.

 

Sold motorbikes 8 month ago and will not renew DL for MC. @xylo watch your back and better drive only car.

 

Thanks to the russian influx i could sell for more then 30% over my fair price target. So not all sucks in patong but nearly all. Guess this is my third and last time that i move away from patong but who knows lol.

Camp ground is the minimum standard to look for.

Some organized site.

 

There is overnight camping/sleeping in tents in the national parks.

But I never saw that for the beaches.

On Maikhao beach we had always camping on beach and camp grounds on beach sure for 30 years like phuket camp ground.

[I don't want to rent a hotel and just sleep in my tent on a beach. Should I be afraid of police?]

Maikhao beach in north phuket is good for camping and has all what you want. There are also camp grounds.

Is Phuket getting more dangerous or is it just news reporting has increased?

Compared with the 90' Phuket is now like a nursing home.

So no it's not more dangerous.

Got a mate who rented his 4 bed sea view Villa slightly North of Kamala to Russians back in October for a year, 500,000thb pcm. He used to just do holiday lets now and again but went long term cos it was such a good offer...

I can top that easily.

 

I let rent my seaview villa with my great samlohr for 1 million per month. The renter is a prince from Burundi and he signed a 3 year contract. Signing fee was 50 baht thai gold. Times are the best i say!

 

Here a pic of my villa&samlohr!

Yup DL is enough. I go to Phang Nga every week and never have my PP with me. 

[Patong - The Wake]

The chinese are loud and rude but normaly they are no danger.

 

Xylo you forgot to mention the french arabs, the lovely guys from the banlieues. They are such a danger with their big motorbikes. Driving super crazy around Patong. Horrible.

Oohh how i missed them the last 3 years NOT!

 

Right now Patong must be in top 3 in the world "most dangerous place to drive".

If you don't manage to get that one, try the Camasella Appassimento from Puglia at Wine Pro, better than Rosso Grande Alberone by a long way IMO!! Best Appassimento I have tasted.

Bought and enjoyed already some bottles of this Camasella. Yupp very good Appassimento. You remind me i need to go Wine pro tomorrow lol.

[Red Wine bargain in Phuket]

Xylo few days ago i was at this shop and wanted to buy it. Was there at 1pm and it was still closed. Little strang opening hour with 3pm and not really matching with me. So no feedback now from me. Maybe i give a second chance in some weeks.
