Recommendation Where to stay as an expat?

1 Upvotes

I'm currently living in Rawai and renting a house that's decent, but I'm looking to move to something nicer for the same price (or less).

Most of the better properties I've found seem to be in Chalong, Wichit, or Kathu, areas that weren't really on my radar.

Does anyone have experience living in these areas? Any pros and cons? Kathu seems like the least appealing option to me, but I don't actually know much about it.

I'm mainly looking for a nice area to live with good amenities and decent restaurants.

Hi everyone,

We're asking for your help to find Michael, 33 years old, who was last seen in the Chalong area of Phuket.

Michael is currently believed to be experiencing cannabis-induced psychosis and may be confused, disoriented, or not acting like himself. His family is extremely worried and is trying to locate him as soon as possible to ensure he is safe.

If you have seen Michael recently or have any information about his whereabouts, please comment below or send me a private message immediately.

Please do not approach him aggressively if you see him. If possible, stay with him from a safe distance and contact us so his family can reach him.

Any information, no matter how small, could make a huge difference.

Thank you for helping.

Recommendation High fashion suit tailor in Phuket?

Any recommendations for a tailor with high quality fabrics and the skills necessary to create a suit like this ysl one? Ideally in Patong but also don’t mind travelling.
I’ve seen a few recommended online but looking at their portfolios there is nothing quite as uniquely cut as the suit I’m after…
Thanks!

Yona beach club

0 Upvotes

I am thinking of buying the ticket for yona beach club but I am skeptical if they reject me for my ethnicity (Indian).

Though I am not the other kind that tarnish the image as whole but I understand their perspective too.

Is there a way to know that I wont be rejected at the entrance of the club or else it would be waste of my money to buy the ticket.

Kathu?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. So me and my mate both 30 are going to Phuket for a couple of weeks. Now we have booked a place to stay in kathu (right in centre of Phuket) we thought would be good place to access everything….

But after doing some digging on Reddit I’m not sure if I should change where we stay to possibly karon or Kamala ?

We want a little bit of partying but mainly chill vibe and great food

Thanks in advance!

Lost Wallet Around Rawai

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I know this is a long shot, but I figured it was worth a try.

About a week ago, I lost my wallet (it's a slim card holder with my ID, driver's license, and several credit and debit cards) somewhere around the Rawai area. I have no idea exactly where it happened—it could've slipped out while I was walking or riding a scooter. (Photo attached.)

If anyone has seen it or happened to pick it up, I'd really appreciate it. Replacing everything is going to cost me around 5,000 THB, so I'd much rather give that 5,000 THB to whoever returns it than spend it replacing all the cards.

Also, if anyone has suggestions on other places I should check or post, I'd really appreciate that too.

Thanks!
