Wooow... It seems like Phuket is becoming a violente place, it was perhaps all the same a couple of years ago when I was there and perhaps I didn't even notice as an effect of partially the beers and the sweet ladies distracting me

However... I would like to ask you guys if things are much different when it comes to:
1- Prices. Are things such as food, clothes, stuff in general much more expensive coz of the declined amount of tourism?
2- Sellers and tailors. Are they more pushy after the Tsunami incident? When I was there I could say they were extremly pushy, especially the tailors and actually also the tuk tuk drivers. Are the girls also more pushy and more "aggresive" when it comes to pull in guys to bars or gogo places?
Many thanks and most especially for this great center of information. You really rule guys!
