    I've stayed at that Vista. It was really nice with great service and a wonderful stay. They had an arrangement with a scooter rental place and would drop off and pick up the bikes there. Made it very simple and convenient. Kata Hill is fantastic. But the best was how close I was to Maybelle's Coffee Garden for nice evening dinners. 😄😋

    People are so clueless sometimes; you can't STOP progress! We don't have any say or control over a lot of things. In my 74+ years of existence, I have learned we can only make adjustments. Thank you for sharing this information, certainly beneficial for our future visit this coming October. Looking to stay in Phuket for 7 days and patronizing Maybelle's Coffee Garden. Traveling with a friend and need 2 separate beds; wife didn't want to come along on this visit. Personal family lives should be kept private. Agree with your decision Richie. Thank you for an interesting, informative video. Hello to Maybelle and Macy!

    Hi Richie, just a suggestion, could you promote your new business on another youtube channel? I enjoy this channel to follow your unique life and times in phuket and the coffee garden. I don't want to watch a video on rooms available in phuket. There's hundreds of similar youtube videos out there.
    I understand it's a new business and I wish you every success. But, please don't ruin this channel for those people who aren't interested in renting holiday appartments.

      Yes, if you are staying and living in Thailand, then you need a visa. They have been talking about a digital nomad visa, but I don't think it exists yet, so otherwise you would need a work visa.
      If you are a travelblogger going to different countries and not staying in Thailand for long, I believe it is ok not to have work visa, but you better look that up if that applies.
