After the Tsunami and the recent flight crash Phuket is heading more down. It is amazing to see that the big developers just keep on saying that Phuket is booming. People are doing very bad business only the high season gives money to the bars and restaurants. Pattaya has got upswing but Phuket is still down.
The recently safe Phuket was not hit by another incident a man from Norway living in Phuket south Thailand was killed in a robbery. He had a Thai wife and been living in Phuket for many years.
Hopefully the Phuket Police will soon clear it up but I have my doubts. My thoughts go out to his friend and family in Norway and Thailand.
