PHUKET HAS BEEN DECLARED THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH FOR EXPATRIATES BASED ON COST, QUALITY OF LIFE, SECURITY AND AMENITIES.
Fantastic or what? This is one of the many islands of Phuket.
Well, why am I not surprised Phuket has been voted the Best Place for Expats on Earth?
Unlike Malaysia and Singapore which are more strait-laced, Phuket offers everything under the sun which includes sex, sex and more sex!
Let us face the bare (pun intended) facts.
You can lead a monkish existence in Phuket and spend all your time praying to Buddha in the many temples and doing good deeds and charitable works.
Or you can cruise the strip and redlight district looking for casual sex with prostitutes or gays or transvestites or any dubious creatures of the night.
The main point I am driving at?
YOU HAVE CHOICES!
Our Langkawai, Perhentian, Tioman and Pangkor have the same scenery, beaches, sand and swaying coconut trees but sexual encounters are hard to come by. I never ever see any bars offering pole dancers and scantily clad girls and G-stringed boys in these places and we do not wish to be projected as a sex destination either.
But as a white expat (we all associate expats as being white don't we?) told me, "In Phuket, you can spend all your time meditating for world peace in the any lovely, serene temples, go shopping for fun fashions and re-decorate your entire home every 6 months as the furniture/furnishings are so affordable and fabulously diverse or suck cock or lick pussy!"
See, the islands or big towns in Malaysia or Singapore cannot lay (pun intended) claim to this amiable state of affairs (pun intended).
In Phuket, one can stroll all over the island in bikinis or sarongs or swimsuit or anything you fancy without being arrested by the religious police.
And we must admit the hotels in Phuket are many and of world class standards so an expat will never feel deprived.
Plus, the cost of living is rather low compared to us and the standard of living pretty high.
In Philippines and Indonesia, the security is said to be lower than Thailand's and Indo China has no islands to boast about so that leaves the Land of Smiles a cut above the rest of its SE Asian neighbours!
This accolade is not picked from the air but was compiled by HSBC Expat Explorer, based on a poll of over 4,000 expats in 100 countries.
No sex was ever mentioned but I know for sure many men think with their cocks!
But maybe not as many retired expats love Phuket too. Retirees are usually married and around a century old so sex may not be uppermost in their mind....unless they are into 3some.
So now is the time to buy a luxury condo at the newly launched Royal Phuket Marina!
This can be your new home in Phuket!
You can park your boat almost at your doorstep at the Royal Phuket Marina
This is your playground OK?
Phuket Declared ‘Best Place in the
World for Expats’ as
Royal Phuket Marina
Launches New Luxury Condos
Mediterranean-style Royal Phuket Marina has received
unreserved endorsement for its new ‘La Reserve
Residences’ tailored especially for families – with Asia 's
most popular holiday island declared ‘best place
in the world for expats to live'.
The accolade for Phuket is in a new survey by HSBC Expat Explorer, based on a poll of over 4,000
expats in more than 100 countries.
Phuket and Thailand ranked high in all
categories from ease of setting up finances and work-life balance to
entertainment and ease of integration with local culture. Thailand also ranked most popular
among retired expatriates.
Phuket is meanwhile emerging as the uncontested yachting playground and gateway to Asia for the
world's rich and famous, with more than 200 direct international flights
weekly from major tourist markets in both Asia and Europe – plus 19 daily
flights from Bangkok .
The island’s astounding resilience against economic
downturns is also reflected in a 30% increase in visitors last year with 4.2
million arrivals at the international airport.
Amid Phuket’s acclaim and boom, Royal Phuket Marina is
internationally renowned as one of Asia’s most desirable yachting and lifestyle
hubs, reminiscent of world-class marinas in Monte Carlo or St.Tropez in the South of
France.
Phuket’s latest accolade coincides with Royal Phuket
Marina’s recent launch of the branded ‘La Reserve Residences ’
– 40 one and two-bedroom apartments each with their own infinity-edged rooftop
‘Sky Pools’ with stunning views over Phang Nga Bay.
Also available are a limited number
of luxury villas and unique ‘Aquaminium’ condos with their own private boat
berths.
As Phuket has become an increasingly popular
investment choice among expats for homes, second homes, investment properties
and retirement villas, Royal Phuket Marina is a
premium choice – not only for its state-of-the-art boating facilities
and Mediterranean-style community, but also its
proximity to international hospitals, schools and golf courses.
Royal Phuket Marina is the island’s
premier haven for owners of luxury yachts and cruisers. It was recently voted
one of Asia's Top 5 Marinas, as Phuket was voted favourite sailing venue and best regatta location in Asia in a
survey of sailors at the last 2011 Phuket King's Cup Regatta, Thailand’s signature annual
international yachting event.
Maintenance facilities are internationally
recognised as world-class and a cut-above
anywhere else in South-east
Asia , with the prestigious “Five Gold Anchor” accolade from the
Yacht Harbour Association.
The community’s appeal continues to
grow among expats in Hong Kong and China , where air pollution
continues to be a problem.
Founder and developer Gulu Lalvani, a retired Hong Kong telecom tycoon, said: “Expat residents of
Phuket have never needed a survey to tell them why they have found the best
place in the world to live – especially if you love boating and golfing.
”Phuket is blessed with
a beautiful year-round climate providing idyllic cruising and yachting in a
true tropical paradise of deserted tropical islands in the Andaman Sea . You
can leave the waiting lists for berths in Hong Kong
behind.”
Royal Phuket Marina’s world-class facilities extend to a Fisherman’s Wharf of restaurants and
bars, floodlit tennis courts, exercise classes and ‘new generation’ personal
training at Phuket's largest and best health and fitness centre, beauty and
wellness spa treatments, Thailand’s leading holistic healthcare center and
Phuket’s largest Convention and Banquet centre.
“It is the 'paradise' island's premier lifestyle
destination for sailing, sports and leisure, luxury residences and stylish
shopping,” added Mr. Lalvani.
