The only province in Thailand I have never visited after twenty-two years and likely will avoid forever. Famous for scams, mafia, and attracts the worst of Thais and foreigners. You could not pay me enough to ever go there. Not sure why foreigners are drawn to such a place. You can have it knock yourself out not worth the stress of the constant rip-offs and threats of violence, beatings by the taxi mafia, and the foreign mafias that are involved in crime. Reminds me of another place that begins with the letter P. Never understood why people are drawn to crowds of thousands on the beaches and constantly being hassled by many, not ALL of the Thais. Speak no see evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Good for you Pete for the interview and for exposing the underbelly of the place.

Well done 4X2! Very interesting story of how that segment of tourism got started in Phuket. I first visited Phuket in 1983 and obviously it was very different back then. Made a few more visits in the early 90's and later. The whole "mafia" vibe of Phuket has kind of put me off of the place since then which is why I go elsewhere now. Haven't been back since 2003 and have no plans to visit. Smart to rent a car when you arrive at the airport.

Years ago there was to be a bus 'service' to take tourists from the Airport into Phuket Town. The local 'taxi drivers' were furious! So a way was found that the buses 'always left the Airport' hours after the planes had arrived with the passengers! The tourists just wanted to get to the hotel , shower and rest up! --They took the Taxi's! Buses at most sat empty for most of the day--departing just about empty! John Grey was NEVER going to win on 'their turf'. I do not return to Phuket. *Some locals hate it when you speak in Thai to them (Southern dialect too!) They don't want Farangs living there knowing too much! Glad you got away Noah! Stay safe!
