Phuket News: Nov 26 - Dec 11




Don't go fishing where you are not allowed - how do we find out? Please email me if you have any details.
Fined for fishing in a public park - Rama IX - in Phuket Town!


Tales of the park;
 - did you know that a man was found shot in the park 2 days previous to this incident?
 - on August 4th men poisoned the fish in the park (80 kilos)


Buy your flowers at the front of the park - Suan Luan Flowers!
This family paid a lot for their excess luggage. The rates for excess baggage on Thai Airways are printed somewhere - if you can find it please email timinphuket.


All I can say is that you should always dress well, speak well and NOT be rude, may be there will not be any charge? Did they follow all these tips?


Is there a need in Phuket for a HI-Tech Car Wash? 
What is wrong with the boys? - our favourite are the ones in Central carpark.

We missed having Ray Clemence at the Cape Panwa Hotel - he stayed somewhere else :-(




The contract for the lifeguards on Phuket has finished? - click here





The market in Phuket Town should be opening in February 2010.  


It cost 167 million Baht, it was completed on the 23rd June 2009 - the buildings are 4 stories and there are a total of 27 shophouses - work that one out?
