To be fair the beaches in Phuket are stunning and there are plenty of quieter spots (especially on the north of the island) well away from all the Russian tourists.

Very far from the Russian tourists...

Personally, I avoid it. I prefer Krabi if I want a cheap beach getaway or Samui if I want to spend.

Flying to the UK in September and I have a seven hour layover in Bangkok airport. Was planning on heading out to a weed cafe to kill some time and relax before the flight but I just read they’ve changed the law and made it illegal again. Has anybody had any recent experience of Thailand?

It's still available. Every other shop sells weed these days.

Phuket = Old big time scammers from UK who married Thai's to hide behind Thai laws.

Also the Russians


Pattaya = Old small time scammers from UK who are on retirement visas and sit around drunk all day.

Also the Indians.


Two beautiful locations full of disgusting people.

You've nailed it there, Zat. Pattaya has absolutely everything you need except the people.

Just done 2 nights in Dubai. Wow. (Heat and expense)...

Now led round a pool in Bali. The missus reckons there's a few bogans round here. I've never heard of the term, and she won't tell me what it means either.

Much prefer the prices here! Ha ha. I paid £15 for a Corona in a Dubai beach bar
