I am visiting soon and wondering about the rules/etiquette of smoking cigarettes in Thailand. It’s my understanding that smoking at hotels and on the beaches is forbidden.
Where is it possible to smoke?
What are healthy with good protein content food options available in 7 11 for vegan/vegetarian/can also include eggs.
Hey guys,
So it’s looking like we are relocating for a job in Phuket. I am 38, with my fiancée (27). We health oriented introverted people, drink maybe 2-3 times a year, mainly enjoy a quiet life - but not an isolated life. She likes coffee shops, gyms, walks etc. And will need to fill time with me at work.
Which areas would be recommended for us? I would be working on the east coast. Coming from London a commute doesn’t bother me if the location warrants it.
I would love to hear areas worth checking out? And also if anyone has made a similar move (for work etc), what’s the smartest method in terms arriving accom, short term accom, long term accom? Considering we will need to explore somewhat before pinning our mast to an exclusive area.
Will have more questions but for now this is the next step!
Thanks!
Visiting Phuket with the family for 7 days and staying in Chalong. Looking for recommendations from the Phuket veterans here 😄
What are the must-visits / must-dos that we shouldn’t miss? Beaches, viewpoints, food, islands/day trips, markets, places that are actually worth the hype, etc.
Also, we’re 4 people — would you recommend renting 2 scooters or just relying on Bolt/Grab? Trying to figure out whether scooters will actually save us money/time or just add a new layer of stress to the holiday?
Would love any tips, especially things you wish you knew before visiting Phuket!
Im planning on spending one week in Phuket this coming September, I'm looking to relax and unwind and to explore nature and interesting things! Also very curious about the best transport methods and how money transactions work, can I use my debit card with USD or should I carry a big amount of cash ? Would appreciate tips tricks and recommendations on places to stay/avoid etc.
Hi, I am travelling to Phuket solo in October, and given that it rains during those months, I want general commute tips and advice. How easy it is to find a taxi for me to go from point A to point B, how to book a taxi, and best places to book a hotel for a week, and cafe recommendations to just chill and work, alongwith some interesting tourist spots that I can see.
Also I've heard that Thai cooking classes are also a thing, so if anyone has any leads for that, it would be appericiated!
Thankyou!
I'm looking forward to stay in Krabi in first week of Sept, can anyone suggest any tour operator for phi phi and 4 island tour. no scam people please.
Will be visiting Phuket in 1st week of September, what would you advise, don't have any plans for island visit like Phi phi
Hi all, we’re a group of 6. Our international flight lands phuket at 3pm local time. Considering we get out of the airport at 4:30pm, what options do we have to leave for krabi the same day ? I checked online and last bus runs at 4pm
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Anyone here planning to visit this location in phuket?
While checking prices for taxi from phuket to krabi, Bolt seems more reasonable than Grab. Grab shows 2600 baht whereas Bolt shows 1600 baht. should I reply on Bolt and suggest any preferences to avoid any scam or surcharges on taxi. Or anything else to keep in mind while traveling through taxis in thailand
Hi all,
We're a couple traveling with our 6-year-old son and will be spending New Year's Eve in Phuket.
We've currently booked a resort near Karon Beach (about a 10-15 minute walk from the beach), but our little one is absolutely crazy about fireworks, so we're trying to figure out the best place to celebrate New Year's Eve.
A few things about us:
My question is:
Is Karon Beach a good choice for NYE fireworks, or would Patong be significantly better?
I can still cancel the current resort and book somewhere in Patong if it's worth the switch, but I'm wondering whether the extra crowds, traffic, and nightlife scene would outweigh the benefits, especially with a young child.
Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced New Year's Eve in Phuket with kids.
Thanks!
We’re European family that considers to relocate to Phuket next school year .
We’ve travelled through Thailand before for 7 months, lived in Bali for almost 3 years so we’re familiar with the climate and different lifestyle.
Next year our children will be 7 years and 6 months, and right now we’re considering either Bangkok or Phuket, but found the schools in Bangkok very expensive.
However, we have never been to Phuket. If you live there I would love to learn more about:
- is it really “Phukrussia”?
- Are there many cockroaches inside houses? We experienced many problems with them in Koh Samui, but never in Bali
- Is Montessori house of Phuket a good school? Or are any other recommended?
- is Chalong/Rawai a good area to live as a family?
- how is life? The great, the bad
I would like to ask if there is a store where can I find speciality coffee beans in phuket?
I’m in North Phuket and it happened around 5:55 PM. I was in my bed laying down practicing astral projection etc. I thought I was reaching the vibrational stage when my bed started swaying left to right.
It was not the vibrational stage.
Some people from my building rushed to the ground level… haven’t seen anything on the meteorological report yet. Anyone else feel that?
I can see it’s more of a docking beach for boats but unsure why I don’t see at least a few people having a swim. Is it because Yu Nai and Nai Harn are so close?
Edited: Thank you all. He has been found. No one knows how he got there. He was not robbed or hurt. Has no recollection. Much gratitude and love to those who offered help.
Hi,
So last night I got a message and we ended up having vaginal sex. the condom broke twice, the first time I noticed pretty quickly and she said sorry and wiped my me with wetwipe, the second time i didnt realize till after I finished and she didnt seem to be as bothered and didnt really say anything about it breaking again or pregnancy risk.
The next morning about 11-12hrs after the sex I saw a doctor and started taking PEP's. They recommended i take a blood and urine test now as a baseline but was confused in the reasoning as nothing would show yet as too recent. Things were hard as there english wasn't the best.
I fly back home to Australia in about 14days, I will immediately go get tested and will continue to take the PEP's for the full 28 days.
Tbh I just don't know if that's enough and I'm just lost in this overwhelming anxiety.
