Hi!
I’ve heard the best place to find a villa is just walk around, is there anything more? Any exceptional rental companies anyone can recommend

I’ve been living and working in Phuket for 6 months now for a local charity. Today I decided to drive across to the mainland, just outside the gates into Phuket for a run. On my way back, I was pulled over at the checkpoint for a search. This is the first time this has happened (although I usually drive with my Thai girlfriend, today I was a foreigner alone). But it was pretty intense. 3 police asked me to get out the car, they did a body check, and fully searched the car, going through my bags, my girlfriend purse which she left in there, jacket pockets in the back, in the compartment in the boot. They even asked me ‘where I live, where I had been and where specifically I ran, where do I work, what job I do’. But not once did they ask me for ID, or my driving licence. Everything was fine and they let me go. I think it’s pretty obvious this was because I was a foreigner - which I understand a lot of foreigners get pulled over on bikes, but I was in a car and this didn’t feel like a ‘let’s see if this guy has a licence’, this felt like an intense search. What were they looking for? Is this normal?

hi all, is there any workout classes (yoga, boxing, pilates, surfing) etc recommended in Rawai? Heading there next week (: also, does anyone know if patong or bangla boxing stadium is better?

Hello,

 

I am at the beginning stages of planning a trip to Thailand and have broken down the days to:

·      Bangkok = 4 days 

·      Chiang Rai = 1/2 days (Bus ride to Chiang Mai)

·      Chiang Mai = 3 days

·      Phuket = 4/5 days (depending on how many at Chiang Rai 

Could you please recommend the best and most convenient location to stay in? In terms of convenient location, I am looking for something walkable, close to transit, food, and nightlife. 

Also, please recommend whether I should split Phuket and stay 1 night on an island that's easy to get to. 

If you have good recommendations for hotels, that would be great. Thank you all. 

Hello!
We are staying in Phuket for two months and we are thinking absolut renting a car. We have a one year old child so a Bike is sadly not an option.

What are good prices for a car or do you know where they also rent those bikes with the seats on the side?

Thank you!

Visiting Phuket for the first time in a couple of months. Wanting to visit a lot of the touristy attractions by day but definitely want to enjoy the nightlife at night. Looking hotel recommendations more on the luxury side of the isle but also guest friendly. Don’t have to be right in the middle of partying but I don’t want a long commute either. Thanks.

Any tips welcome !!

Hey everyone, quick question about driving scooters in Thailand.

I have a valid driving license, but I've lost both my physical driving license card and my International Driving Permit (IDP) and allowed to drive motorcycles. I do have a PDF/photo copy of the IDP and license on my phone.

Has anyone had experience with this situation in Thailand (Phuket / Krabi / Koh Samui)? How strict are police checks in reality, and is a digital copy ever accepted in practice by police?

Thanks a lot for any advice or experiences

Hey guys,

Been trying to sell two apartments on Phuket (CityGate and Legendary Phuket) for more than a year, but it does not move at all. Good photos and price are a little bit below market.

Can anyone share their experience and maybe recommend better agents in order to move on with it? Quite desperate at this point. Had real estate experience before in the EU and UAE, and it was much easier for reselling compared with the current Phuket situation.

Hi everyone!

I'm planning my first ever trip to Thailand over New Year and would love some honest feedback on my itinerary before I start booking everything.

One of my friends has been to Thailand several times and keeps telling me that if you're in Thailand for New Year's Eve, you have to experience the Full Moon Party at least once, so that's why I've included Koh Phangan. I feel like I'd regret not experiencing it while I'm there.

Current itinerary

27 Dec

• Fly London → Bangkok

28–30 Dec (2 nights) – Bangkok

• Explore the city, temples, food markets, etc.

30 Dec

• Fly Bangkok → Koh Samui

30 Dec – 4 Jan (5 nights) – Koh Samui

• Stay in Chaweng.
• Relax, explore the island and use it as a base.

31 Dec – 1 Jan (1 night) – Koh Phangan

• Ferry over for New Year's Eve / Full Moon Party.
• Stay overnight and return to Koh Samui on 1 January.

4 Jan

• This is where I am stuck. I am not sure whether to do 3 nights in Phi Phi or 3 nights in ao nang. Or any other suggestions would be great!

7 Jan

• Fly Phuket → Bangkok

7–8 Jan (1 night) – Bangkok

• Stay before my flight home.

8 Jan

• Fly Bangkok → London.

Questions

• Does this route make sense, or am I trying to squeeze in too much?
• Would you spend more or less time in any of these places?
• I do not want to get the water taxi after the full moon party. This is why I have booked a hotel for the night.
• If you had around 12 days in Thailand over New Year, would you do anything differently?
• Any places you'd swap in or skip altogether?

I'm open to changing pretty much everything, so don't hold back if you think there's a much better way to do this!

Thanks in advance 😊

Hi guys

I will be travelling to Phuket soon and was wondering if there is a superrich kiosk near the airport where i can exchange most of my Pounds to Baht. I tried looking on google but there doesn't seem to be a concrete answer to my question.

Thank you for all the answers.

I am seeing posts on the internet that the rain water is flooding in some streets, will it be like this in August, asking the people who lives around there?

I'm visiting Phuket later this month, and I was looking for some vegetarian Thai restaurants or restaurants that serve vegetarian Thai dishes. I looked online and found only cafes/continental places and not authentic Thai food. If anyone has any recommendations for places that serve a huge variety of vegetarian Thai food, do let me know!

Looking for a massage parlour that does light teasing but does not provide happy endings or asks but its okay to reject. Enjoy the tease & play more than the real release!
