PHUKET….Time to heed Farmer’s advice and get outa Turdistan…..while the gettin’s good !
This looks like as good a place as any
Little Dick shaped penninsula in Thailand. Maybe it’s the Florida of Thailand
Anybody know anything about this place ?
Long time ago, yes. Almost 30 years now.
Phuket (poo ket) was hopping back then, and becoming “spoiled.”
Phuket has long been a major traveler’s party central. Pretty decadent.
Ko Phi Phi (islands) are directly east, were spectacularly beautiful, but were also overbuilt (1994).
I never made it to the Andamans further north and west which I heard were still relatively unspoiled.
I did get to the Krabi area (Railay Beach – my favorite from that trip, known for karst formations and great climbing), Ko Lanta (very nice), and out to Ko Tao via Samui and Pangan.
I was there in “winter” and found that warm enough for me and quite hospitable. No Americans in sight. Lots of Germans and Aussies.
Don’t think I can handle monsoon season unless right on the water ($$$$).
If you get serious, there are several in our group living there or have lived there (AM and CD).
Thanks pedro
Dreamin for now ….mut I can see getting serious as things wind “down”
What happened to our faith in what’s his name…polywannacracker?
I have good friends who live there, an Austrian guy married to a Thai woman. I know them from Austria. I’ve only visited them In Phuket once, 24 years ago. Of course, I had a great time, but it wasn’t my cup of tea as a place to spend any great amount of time. But that’s me.
You should just book a trip and go! Just do it! Then let us know what what you think. Bon voyage 😉
Goldballoon is right – just book and go and see for yourself. I have a friend moved there 10 years ago – lives off of his social security disabled income – young guy in his 40’s now. He loves life there.
There once was a lad from Nantucket……
Yes I know….its juvenile! lol
As for Thailand … a foreigner cannot own a property by all by him/herself. You will need a local to participate. Foreigners only allowed to hold 50% ownership. Such law was about 20 years ago; I guess still is the same.
