#phuket #thailand #boom
It’s become St. Phuketsburg
That's the problem. It's like it in a lot of countries though.
Brutal!
Little Moscow is what I called it when I visited but where I live in Pattaya is just is bad in Pratumnak
I’ve been a regular visitor to Phuket for the past 30 years (I live in HK) and in my humble opinion Phuket is slowly being ruined by over development and mass tourism.
Agree, all these developments but there is no development in the infrastructure to support it. It’s too congested in all aspects and polluted also. Especially during high season.
First visit to Phuket was in 2001, then visited regularly through till 2007, then last time in 2012. The difference in those 5 years was massive, and not in a good way. The influx of Russian 'businesses' which included a venue on Bangla, that was staffed by all white women, which not only looked completely out of place, knowing the Thai employment and business regulations, smacked of outright corruption. I really didn't like what I was seeing.
I gather that since then it has only gotten worse. I don't mind there being a mix of international visitors, but when the balance is so blatantly skewed, it doesn't make for an interesting mix.
As with other similar places, over development triggers many to look further afield, for somewhere less developed, and I think that is only inevitable for those that seek to recapture experiences of their first visits.
Global Sustainable tourism being held there soon 😂😂😂 the boom is 90% Russian real estate
Agreed. I’ve been all over Thailand and Phuket is without a doubt the most overrated place
Great vlog Ritchie, I love your take on everything...Still hoping to visit in this year...regards to both you and maybelle and of course the new addition....take care always..lee over in the 🇬🇧 😊
Phuket sounds like hell on earth to me.
Yep and the prices are absolutely ridiculous
Expensive! And, gets VERY boring!
Massive tourist trap, why bother unless you want to see all the people you left home to avoid.
A lot of capital flowing from Russia and Ukraine to Thailand. Going into property.
Went there in the 70’s was super great and cheap, such big changes all over Thailand, miss the food but was back a few months ago everything just too busy now,glad for the memories.
You’ve done well Richie , everyone talks about how good your coffee/restaurant is . ✌️
Heard Phuket called mini Moscow, have you felt the same?
I saw a place named Gagarin at 12:13 you can call them and ask!
(Yuri Gargarin was the first human in space)
Had to leave Kata in Jan as it was 90% Russian. It was so overwhelming.
100%
@@affiliateheist did you get the impression that you were in Russia and maybe got on the right flight😂😂
@@mazadasilva643 Yep its not the Russian expats, but the holiday makers. Got shoulder barged twice and pushed into the road with no apology
There are a lot better places in Thailand to visit.
Phuket is getting like benidorm not good.
Hua Hin is nice and relaxed not so busy less traffic.
Your new property is beautiful. We fell in love with Phuket during the sand box. We kinda liked it better with less people. The addition of sidewalks would be amazing.
It was the best time to be there. I think.
We wish sand box was forever
Did the sandbox July 6 2021. 4 of us at Beyond Karon. BEST time to be in Phuket since the 80s!
I am running my Campervan conversion business in India...
It is always awesome to see ur videos on business love it👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beaches in Mediterranean Europe are far more beautiful...and people really swim there
Beaches in the Caribbean even better, many unexplored, quiet, natural....not packed like those in the Med.
That’s what happens when UA-camrs and government advertise the place as one of the best places to visit in Thailand. I live in Victoria BC Canada, and we made the same mistake a long time ago. Now the amount of people living here has quadrupled during the last 20 years, and yes - people have to live somewhere and that’s why you see construction all over the place. And yes, the prices for rentals etc increased just as bad. I hate to tell you, but it will unfortunately never end. People have become more flexible with respect to there jobs, the idea of immigration and simply want to live in a beautiful environment.
We travel around all the time: Sri Lanka, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc... the list goes on... all fantastic.
Phuket is horrendous; total nightmare 😢.
So many changes 😮 I remember coming phuket 1st the week tourists where allowed back after covid now I'm back and it's madness 😂
Great seeing you and the family this week ❤️ all the best Mark & Keiko
You couldn't pay me enough to visit Phuket , roads are not fit for purpose . give me Nakhon si Thammarat or Prachuap Kiri Khan any day of the week
Richie
Never change a winning concept. Improve it
Yes i'm in Cape Town, South Africa.
Been coming there since 2009 and yes its changed. You there man, been following you for a while and watched your business with Maybelle transform.
Do what you have to, especially for baby.
All the best man
Hi Richie great to see you making videos again. Hope you guys had a great high season. Be back soon 👍🏻🙏
Nov '23 I travelled to Kata Noi Beach and yes I was amazed at the construction. Even looking up the hill from Kata Noi was construction. Not sure I am very happy about all this to be honest - but it is all perspect right. I fear people will start avoiding Phuket if it becomes Pattaya or Benidorm 😯
I am a long time viewer, but I never realized how close to Kata Noi you were because I would have visited.
I hope Maybelle & Maisie are doing well
Wooooohhh ain't nothing wrong with benidorm let me tell you lol
Never will be a Pattaya !
I have followed your channel since before Covid.
We went to the south and very north of Thailand in December and January, including Phuket, ant Cambodia btw.
Way too many people on Phuket at that time so we escaped to the beautiful Koh Lanta that is quite and still have everything.
Love the video Richie ❤ Making us miss Phuket 😊 The villa looks beautiful!!! Wish we have a place like that 😂 Hope Maybelle & Maycie (sp?) are doing well….Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us 😊
I’m coming 27 July to 3 August look forward to trying your menu Richie !
Richie, if they honestly want more people there long term, the visas would allow for a bit longer of a stay. I'm in the Philippines on a tourist visa and cn stay for 3 years without having to leave the country. Great video!
20 years long term Rawaii
It’s over, strange energy now
I feel for the locals, still a lovely place
Not sure how the Thais will react
Have you been there recently? I always loved Rawais, but have not been there since 2021 or maybe early 2022.
And Richie telling of all the changes made me really worry about the atmosphere there.
@@Ay_Ole Some are overreacting! More people around, but thats ok @
@@Ay_Ole I’ve just popped over to Vietnam on a visa run
If you go to rawaii go in low season. It’s still busy but not intolerable like mid November to March
@@mixalis6168 the pollution of the sea and all the Thai culture trying to turn a buck everywhere you go. It’s lost its personality, maybe you don’t notice such things?
Great video as always Richie. Big hugs for Maybelle and Massie for me please. Very glad to hear that this past high season was a great success. Very nice rental place! My brother lives in Hawaii and has built a nice company handling the cleaning, lght maintenance and restocking of many dozen vacation rental places there on his Island. The biggest issue for him has been to keep a consistent staff so constant hiring and training tales up a lot of his time. But hey no business is without its challenges.
Looking good Richie 😎
I arrive on Monday. Can’t wait, it’s been just over a year and missing Phuket. Got a present for Maisy so hoping to catch up with you all at some stage at Maybelles for some lunch and iced coffee! X x
I started going to Phuket in the mid 80's and started living there in 86. I left in 95 to go North to work. I have returned twice. Well from what it was to what it has become--I will never return again! It has become ruined! Over developed and tourist mad. Local attitude to foreigners has become 'cold ' to put it mildly! No more for me!
Yeah, steep hills next to Kata Noi!
I almost chrashed one of your rental motorbikes going up one of them roads/sois.
On Google Maps it looked like the soi connected to the main road - It didn't! I then had to make a u-turn on a 45 degree angle road! Damn, that was kinda of crazy!
Thanks Richie, another great video with nothing but the truth! I'll be coming over in June for the first time in two years so it'll be interesting to see the difference from when I last visited. I have a brother there who tells me things have developed a great rate of knots, so expecting to see a bit of change in the place. I spent a bit of time in Kata, so I look forward to coming to see your wonderful cafe and catching up if you have time. All the very best to Maybelle and the family, good luck for the new venture. See you soon! David S
Glad another video is up, we need one a week at least.
Glad your business is doing well but it makes me kinda sad that these beautiful places might be on the road to ruin where they become overdeveloped and the magic is lost.
Yep, the place is now a shit hole compared to 20 years ago
The transport infrastructure has hardly changed since it was put in in the late 80s and early 90s and now they expanding the capacity of the Airport,it can already take over 2 hours to get from the South of the Island to the Airport now,Crazy!! and as for the new development in Rawai its Ruined the place.
Local bus and Thai people making more money - we all should be happy for them.
Camplainers and negative can just go somewhere else or stay home.
High season room rates have 2 to 3xed but low season is still reasonable.
People like to dump on Phuket but it has better air quality than places further north, better beaches than places in the gulf (apart from the islands that need a ferry to get to) and is serviced by an international airport. Phuket is solid on the important factors so it will always be popular. Then there the dozens of cafes with spectacular Andaman views. No where else in Thailand ticks all the boxes. The influx ofRussians had put a rocket under Phuket
Was nice to meet you in person a few weeks ago, Phuket is going crazy ,anyway back in the U.K. now ☹
It beautiful day and your home
I have lived Cape panawa for years such a beautiful place but now just come on holiday. I moved to the philippines living in the dumaguete grate place to live. No Russians taken over yet. Im happy to see you and your family doing well cheers to you. ❤😁😎👍🇦🇺🇸🇽
Slow down with the camera movement it get me seasick 😮
Good for your business but for me Phuket is ruined, came twice a year for twenty years, can’t get rooms, can’t get on beach , can’t park anywhere bike or car, traffic mental!! Patak road was mud when I first came bloody brilliant now it’s like dubai
Consider installing UV + IR + VLT reduction film to those large windows to help cool down the rooms
What do you think about the new tax regulations requiring foreigners who live there 181+ days per year to pay up to a 35% tax on all money transferred to Thailand?
Nothing definite yet. But many are watching outcome. Personally I won't renew visa if taxed
Already took 800k out bank preparation for worst case scenario. Retirement visa expires April 2025 will know more by then and if others taxed won't renew visa
Thanks Jim
Richie, we spent Jan and Feb on and around Koh Tao and came to the same conclusion as you, i.e. if they could somehow prohibit bikes, at least from "Walking Street" it would make such a difference. 😊
Interesting. I would like to know what is percentage of residents low season (may to october) vs high season (rest of year) and what improvements are planned by gov/province (cleaning canals and beaches, water management,...) because of permanent inhabitants number increase.....A rough approximation would be from Phuket airport departures/arrivals data.
You're a mad genius for starting your business when you did.
Everything is awesome with the property.
One observation that ceiling fan is low...they need to remove n use a cooler unti ...just something I saw ..
By the way,how is the family doing,baby and Maybelle?.💕
my lady business is crazy busy and still getting bigger after C19 i built a bigger workshop which slowly got fully busy Am looking at expanding again am in Changmai
Thank you for the video.
Nice house but way too big for me and my daughter we’re looking into long-term rent
starting next December 3-4 mounts
We have been recommending Bang Tao area because off more English speaking people living there.
It will only be two bedroom apartment og small house we will look fore
What will you recommend for agency to show us renting property ?
Stayed in laguna over built with homes in tsunami zone. Drove back to via banana beach rustic beautiful😊
Just got back enjoyed songkran
Definitely the hottest i felt
Beautiful villa
Great video
I'm back in july
I went a few years ago in July and it was pretty quiet. I only went to the town once for some boat trip - seemed pretty sparse. Nice place though. Bandara Villas was where we stayed.
Shame I missed you but I had a lovely lunch at the coffee garden it's a lovely place
love your channel Richie! Perhaps when viewing places, it would be good to move slower and pan slowly so the audience gets a good view.

Regarding booming Phuket. A rumor is circulating that Russia will soon ban Passport renewals for expats. Moscow denies this. But if true may effect the real estate boom.
Slightly strange that the villa is the same price in May as September, should it not be more of a seasonal pricing?? Anyway looks absolutely amazing and if you waas 8-10 people then it's a great price, way too expensive for couples though 😞
I am intrested on which country is pouring in there the most? Is it mostly vacations or longterm living? I am seeing a huge increase in cost of living in USA causing an icreased homeless population where many are looking for lower cost of living options. I am sure the insane increases will eventually get there to.
yeah im here and its expensive, the only upside now is you pay the same as at home but now you have a view and an easy bunk up, usa have fucked up inflation across the globe and evryone is a greedy fucker living beyond there means blah blah blah
Phuket/Thailand the new Londongrad
Hi guys. Great villa. I think the war in Ukraine has a lot to do with boost of tourism. Ritchie the property magnet. Well done on everything that you guys have accomplished. I'm proud of you guys.
Good burger joint in that night market place. Mad burger I think its called
I live in phuket 20 years. It's hardly changed in 20 years. Only the 3 years of covid were very nice and no tourists . I remember in 2007 and next decade it was far more crowded feeling than it feels now. But that might be cause the tunnels build were a constant traffic mess.
If everything is wonderful and marvelous why is the baht dropping worldwide 🤔
Japan Y same
I really respect you,for leaving a Whole life behind and starting a new life not knowing what the hells coming next!Now look,a beautiful family and 2x buisness.good on you!And if you support Liverpool I will give you 2x more respect!😂!👊well done buddy.
Will let let you know when we get there Saturday 4th May ;-)
You have a nice home
MTV Phuket Cribs brought to you by Ritchie and Maybelle.
The visa options are definitely a barrier for us. Young family, 1 child. Working as a Software Developer. Keen on a move (escaping the west!).. but these "digital nomad" visa options don't do what they say on the tin, so to speak. They seem designed only for employees of the biggest companies (which are all imposing 2-3 day per week in-office requirements now), and established businesses.
They need to understand that younger people + families aren't necessarily rock-solid secure on arrival, give people more of a chance to get setup.
You should import grass fed beef and lamb from Australia and New Zealand
A cogni living it up in Thailand, no bad
Which small attractive town city in your opinion is likely to an influx of tourists that used to come year after year to Phuket but now find it just too commercialised. That’s where I’d be setting up business
You got your wish. What a Nightmare. Keep your boom.
Progress always spoils tourist areas, but makes money for business. The tourists aren't bothered about profits for local businesses. Also some regular tourist will go to more quiet places .
Depends, high season will always be busy, just go now and until high season starts !
If you are expecting infinite growth, beware, my friend!!
I really believe the Russian 🇷🇺 influence is putting up prices and booming prices Thais can’t afford right now I remember when it was cheap in Phuket but rents are going up and I feel sorry for local Thais
Locals stil find prices as in rentals ok, food prices start from 50 THB thats ok...
Hey im getting Dizzy ...your moving the camera around to quick ....like to see where you are in 10 years Doing Good .....Richie how much would that house sell for in Aust Dollars please thank you Beautifull house . i can taste your coffee from here . i wish .
8k for a month in Jan.....thats mental
I lived there during end of pandy and there were no people...I can imaging how much it sucks now.....Move to issan youll thank me later....You have herpes on your face, and youve gained like 40 pounds since you were a physical trainer? come on bro!!!! parenting is hard i know!!!!! just stop eating and slim down man.......your a killer!!! love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think I want to holiday In Gorky Park
people been couped up for 4yrs! now 'it's' over, people are saving up to go away again... business and construction is back to normal pre-'that' levels so it seems busier than the last few yrs of peace and quiet!
It's for rich Russians and Chinese. But they do have cheap surburbs for western tourists though so its all fair and square. Everyone gets to enjoy depends on your wallet :D
Gave it 5 minutes bored
How much you want to sell that place for
Great place to stay probably better to fill the fridge with Vodka these days.
We went to Phuket during the peak of the China virus hysteria. It was paradise without all the tourists. As the Eagles song "The Last Resort" says, "Call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye." Sad.
I stopped going to phuket years ago because of this. Over saturated over priced rubbish
Overpriced as in what ?
@@mixalis6168 you pay like 50 baht for stuff thats 20baht elsewhere
How many of these people will return tho. Iv visited Phuket every year since 2017 including the covid years and the February just gone will definately be my last. Patong especially is ruined its turned into a rich Arabs playground. Day & night use Phuket roads as a race track. I have also noticed a rise in the Nigerian gangs selling drugs and women in the open. The police turn a blind eye to it all 💰. I agree there has been a boom but that bubble will burst if things dont change. Even the locals are being forced out by high rents and the lack of respect from these kind of tourist.
Phuket is being ruined by the dodgy Russian ruble. And all that comes with it.
Crime rates up 1000%
07.30 on the Gold Coast Australia and I've just seen this. I'll wait till I get home tonight to watch it. Brilliant, something to look forward to.
The Spanish coast was ruined by all that overdevelopment. Just really ugly. And it's already happening in Bali too. Thailand will probably go the same way. It's a shame.
I guess it helped when the government allowed people to smoke weed "freely" as they wish, it had a positive effect of the number of tourists coming
Never advertise how good something is theyre ignorant to because theyll want it or to go there.
It's easy to see Phuket is going down hill, way overcrowded and too many rude farangs behaving badly, time to move on for me. Unfortunately the island has lost much of the charm it once had.
Let’s be very honest about it, Guy, you’re Phuket will become a mini Russia. They don’t have anywhere to go in the world 🌎 you’re in a bubble, no disrespect mate
yes mate that is becos it is the new russia. they are buying like mad and it will now go mad we have sold 540 homes this year and have the phone going non stop from russia. with new buyers so put your safety belt on it has just started
overdevelopment and destruction of paradise....but good for business
Sweating from all the beer you drink. Simple equation. I know.
Way too fast can’t watch! Horrible!🤨
I want to buy property in Phuket I just don't trust the Thais. Laws and visa rules, they're are always changing. I'm not even sure if you can get a Long term visa, if you own property there. Everything is just so complicated in Thailand even getting Married. Honestly, it's the most awkward and confusing country in the World.
Don't over develop,or it will lose it's charm.
What happened to the Happy videos.
...its getting to business like now... I hate to say it I watch less.. :-/
