Sunday 28 January 2024 11:00 AM

In a long-awaited move, Thailand’s Move Forward Party is proposing swingeing reductions to the taxes ‒ and there are many ‒ on imported wine. Such measures fly in the face of official thinking which has for decades argued, dinosaur-like, in the following terms: 1) Thais do not drink wine – it is a ‘farang’ tipple; 2) the imported stuff is ridiculously expensive; 3) its consumption has a deleterious impact on the nation’s health; and 4) foreign wine competes directly with Thailand’s fledgling wine industry. OK? So let’s tax it heavily. At the very least, it thereby provides a hefty source of revenue for the nation’s coffers. Billions of baht every year.

Hunger always comes after long swims at Surin Beach, and I found myself in that exact predicament.

World’s your oyster at ‘333 At The Beach’

Sunday 7 May 2023 11:00 AM

333 At The Beach is part of the Intercontinental Phuket Resort – in fact the name derives from the resort’s address: 333, 333/3 Moo 3, Kamala Beach. However, it’s a separate building with its own car parking and has the casual ‘feel’ of a stand-alone beach bar/restaurant, with its mostly under cover, ‘toes in the sand’, seating. There’s even a row or two of sun loungers amongst the trees for an even more relaxed drink or snack while the sun goes down.
