I have been reading blogs and forums from you folks that have taken the plung and made the move to Phuket.
From everything that I have read, it appears that it would make a fine place for my husband and I to retire.
I do have a few questions/concerns:
I have heard some rumors that internet connectivity, water and electricity can be VERY unreliable.
I have also heard that you cannot mitigate the issue of a computer crash by having a UPS (alternate power supply).
Can anyone tell me if these issues exist and if so, how frequently?
Also, I understand that there is unrest around the borders. How serious is this and how do these issues affect you that live in phuket? I'd like to hear directly from folks that are experiencing it rather than base decisions on media releases.
Appreciate your time and feedback in helping me make and informed decision.
