So, we have arrived in Phuket and now looking to rent a place long term (min 1 year).

Visited a few houses, in contact with a few agents and scrolling lots of FB. I noticed the that most of the time it’s mentioned: 2 months deposit, which makes me feel strange.

What the reason for 2 months deposit? I mean, no disrespect; what is that valuable that needs 2 months deposit to back up for.

Made a first offer today, mentioned 1 month deposit; that was a no go.

As well, what structure or guarantee is there in place to get your deposit back after the rent period.

Wondering what your thoughts are on this, any experience or advice dealing with this is welcome too!

1.DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THE RUSSIANS.they will do Thier level best to instigate you. they will never lay the first punch or violent attack against you .they want you to hit them the first .just walk away

2.wise card is a must have . Please get it and reload at least a minimum of 1000 bhat so you have some back up money with you .very very handy especially you are buying from convience stores or major shopping outlets and bars

3.change at least 3000-4000 bhat in your home country before coming you do not want to change at airport very bad rates

4.remember each drink you buy for the bargirl is chargeable .small tip will be if you can pay for each resit right away for the bar girls and your bill you can pay on later

5.get your weed from bang Thao beach .roll and stone (right opposite bang Thao night market ) offers some amazing weed with very affordable rates ..you won't regret spending a day at bang thao the market is amazing

My name is Dan and I run a Facebook page teaching people about hemp and cannabis. I will be in Phuket next month and was wondering if any cannabis dispensary/farm are available for an interview? If yes please send me a PM, thanks! For reference here is an interview I did of a hemp farm in California https://fb.watch/rSNuR4XQqJ/

Hi Lads, Im looking for sexy-mexy place where Im planning to stay, preferably long term ( my budget 15k, willing to scratch up to 20k baht) Feel free to pm me if you leaving soon but leasing agreement wouldn't end soon Kindest Regards P.S sorry if not allowed

So, I've been making friends and even dating some Russians over the past few years. However, lately, I've found myself feeling increasingly frustrated with these connections.

It seems like a recurring pattern from them – I constantly get ignored and ghosted by them all the time. We'll make plans, only for them to cancel last minute. Sometimes, they won't even show up after I've already made the effort to meet them. They would come up with whatever excuses they had, and then they would flake on me shamelessly. And worst of all, some of them vanish completely, leaving me hanging without any explanation; no texts, no phone calls, no nothing.

It's so funny that I met this one guy who told me "I wanna make Thai friends cuz I just moved here, I love Phuket", and guess what? I did put tons of efforts texting him, making plans, reaching out to him. Then had him telling me that he's "shy", that's why he didn't text me at all. He didn't even follow my IG, and we had been texting over the IG for months. I've never blocked people on my social media before, but since last month, I've already blocked 4 "Russians friends" just for the peace of mind.

I'm left wondering if this is just a cultural difference or something else entirely. Please prove me wrong. And thanks for listening.

edit:
To make it clear, I'm a local born and raised here. And when I refer to these people as friends, I mean those who live here long term, not tourists who'd just visit here for a couple of days. I don't have this issue with people from other nations at all. And yes I'm gay, I don't know why my gender would be relevant when making friends (and all the Russians I went on dates with are all gay, just FYI).

Has anyone stayed at Namaka? What was your experience there like?

I am looking to set up a restaurant in Patong and I don't know if this possible for foreigners or not. If possible, how much would it cost?

*Sorry for my English language

Please send me your lawyer you trust or better his phone number I need one immediately!

Second night in Phuket. Before I was in Cambodia and before that in Vietnam. I have never encounter such entitled fucking narcissistic douchebags as Brits on vacation during all my travel...

It's 3AM. The very nice staff are doing everything they can to shut them the fuck up.

Brits are the fucking worst tabarnak de calisse.

Thank you for your time.

I would be travelling to Phuket and Karbi next week. The trip is short, I just needed to get away from few things at home. Need suggestions for:

1. Places one can get drunk at for cheap
2. Good weed dispensary, don’t need much just want to smoke few joints
3. Places I can pick up girls and I mean the good ones.

Thanks

Hello!

I am close to Patong beach in Phuket and I want to buy Pokémon cards for someone!

I know in the ‘old city’ Phuket there is a b2s but I don’t have a car and don’t know how to get there.

Anyone know where I can buy any Pokémon Cards here?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hey i am Chris 33 years old and i am solo traveling in Southeastasia now. I am in Phuket and also staying in Thailand for 30 days , after thailand i go malaysia and indonesia. If anyone also looking for a travel buddy, i am free 🤠

Why every store(including supercheap and makro) tend to have small/travel size products/packages? Is there any stores like cocsto where you can buy "in bulk" or holds at least value packages for items like: cereals, deodorants, bodywash and similar? I used to save a lot on my groceries and essentials choosing value packages when I was living overseas. Thanks everyone

Hi everyone,

I’m planning on getting my nails done in Phuket however I only use BIAB on my hands and feet. Do you know if there are any places in Phuket that work with that?

Thank you in advance!

Anywhere close to the Kata Sea Breeze Resort would be great.

I heard a lot of places have stupid expensive prices for the tourists and trying to find a place with a more local vibe. I don’t need a lot, maybe a joint or two. Maybe more if they don’t offer the smaller amounts. And I’m here for over a week so I’m not in a big rush.

My tolerance level is nowhere near where it used to be but I can’t leave Thailand without blaizing once or twice. 😊

Any help for this Phuket noobie would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

Thank you

Hi all I'm looking for an good english speaking hairdresser in Phuket/Kathu. I (femal)need a new haircut and need somebody that understand what I want and can give some advise. Do's someone has experience,now a place where I can go to ?

I am a 21 year old male who likes to hike, run, beach, eat, do jiu jitsu/combat sports and see the night life. My place will be in the choeng thale area, but if yall have any ideas or must try places I would really appreciate it.

hello, so im planning to travel to phuket at the end of the year and been starting to plan my trip. one of the problem I came across was either go with a tour or stay in phi phi island for 2 nights, I do prefer staying for 2 night since I want to go to the lookout and stuff. but main problem I have is, is there any day tour within phi phi that I can book or is it better to hire a person( with a speedboat) to tour me around. I'm also on a budget so if you can give me prices for day tours and hiring someone in the island, so I can compare if its worth just getting a day tour from Phuket or not. since I really want to explore the most out of phi phi island without being limited to one day.

Probably should have posted earlier and I’m here for another week with others. It’s my first time in country and looking for some 420 friends who like to eat or find yummy street food. I’m open on age so anything 20s to 50s will work if you’re fun or extroverted. lol

If you’re interested, hit me back and strike up a conversation.

Is it a good place to go with our young child? Hotel recommendations? Is the airport easy to get through? Any advice at all would be great
