I also got to know Kata, Karon and Patong areas pretty well. I personally liked Kata-Karon areas the most since it had enough drinking and eating options and enormous beach, like 2km long I think and nice, wide beach but not even close to crazy as Patong.

Patong beach is kind of meh, it's not that wide and there is alot of traffic just next to beach. For partying it's obviously #1, others have maybe bar areas with 10-30 different bars, Patong has probably few hundred if you take into account all the small ones

If I were you I would just stay somewhere for 1-2 weeks and check out all the places by myself, quite easy to drive through Phuket on scooter.

My best experience with Internet was called The Title Resort in Rawai, nothing special but it did the work, although they had some annoying system that I had to ask for new Internet password every day.

I like your style Codecci, we got a lot in common judging from your last two posts
I used to think Phuket was best too but now I'm in BKK mainly because that's where the girl is that I was dating.
I think it's pretty nice in BKK tbh though, I do miss the nice roads for driving in phuket though, I used to love just driving up an down the coast all the way from rawai to patong and you can even go further than that.. it's nonstop beauty
But I'm going to save up money for a real bike and then I think BKK might be better than phuket because there's not really any roads to use all that power in Phuket.

And even when I stayed in Phuket, it's not like I went to the beach or some nearby island everyday, so I might as well live in BKK and then take the occasional trip to Phuket or another beach/island. Specially once I got a bike, that will make the trip even more fun.

Interesting information guys. Obv the gf is coming with me and we'll be there more for touristy things than nightlife and bars. I would love to rent a scooter but I'm not sure how she would deal with it, could end badly.

Settle down bra. This page is completely anonymous, how are the police going to learn anything from it?

I know you'd stoop to any depths to get lol69 banned but you're really clutching at straws now. Have you tried the ignore function?

Don't think any of the links said either of those things. I did read them when they were posted, and they didn't really give any information about how long each entry would be for, only that it was "multiple entry" visa that lasted 6 months.

ironically the only remnant of his post is now yours, which quotes him talking about the king. kind of an overreaction. just as they are free to deify a human being, a foreigner should be free to poke fun at that silliness.

It's not like the World Press or even Thai Press isn't reporting on the King's health. Seems like some hypersensitivity in here everytime some mentions King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Lol, no one cares about the King being mentioned in general online. It's just if it's mentioned here, there's a chance of the thread being blocked to thai IP.

Small chance, but lese majeste websites have been blocked before - lol just 2 days ago this news source wrote about 143 sites being blocked http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/secu...ontent-blocked

Or worse could happen if they become aware of a group of poker players living here. LOL at spiv saying the thread is anonymous when you Google 'pokerspiv' and his full name and photo are the 2nd hit.

Other people have posted where they live, some people's usernames link to their social media with their name on, etc. etc.

A news article objectively reporting on the King's health isn't the same as lol69 making jokes about the monarchy, it's like the 5th time, earlier posts were cartoon caricatures of the King. The guy considers us scum so it's obvious he's doing it to wind people up, and would be happy if some of the above consequences occurred.

The other reason is no one really cares about red shirt/yellow shirt politics, we're 20something poker players who just grind online and bang girls. If you are interested there are threads on thaivisa to discuss that. So those armchair politard posts are all AIDS.

You spend far more time talking about lol69's politard posts than he does making them. Already there's been about 10 posts from various people discussing the same 3 line post. If you just ignored him he would stop doing it.
