Omnipotent Powers still care for the blessed Phangan! My deepest dream was seems to be practically impossible - real Rebirthing of divine Nature of the island. But what we see now is exactly its reasization - turtles laying eggs in Pattaya, where time ago was too dirty even for tourists. So, what we see now maybe look strange, but remember - its always exact realisation of someone's crazy dreams!

   Saying about our business activity, my old friend Mike take Phanganbiz over and will try to provide nesessary services, as he staying now on the island. So, all the contact-form requests will be forwarded to him, while some of the "Resorts rental" will go to local partners by area. 
​I wish you wonderful Spring!

    This recent world magic story leads the Phanganbiz creator (me) to Sunny Russia, where Moscow - Belgorod - Sochi is a current route. Beginning of this journey is even more intrigue - I spend whole month in different prisons due to the new updates in immigration rules - I lost my  passport years ago in jungles of NakhonSi and decided not to disturbe the officials (its happens alredy - they looked really disturbed). So I want to dedicate this post to my recent adventures, started on 20 of February - 13-th Lunar day, night before great event in India and among Indians around the world - MahaShivaratri.The main news I can share with readers are - all is good with us, anywhere we go. Me, you and each of us right on the place and in a time we should be to realize our full potential. We can feel extatic in hell and we can suffer in Paradise. I should notice that last years main projects which I run was related to rare trees of the island and especially Rudraksha - seeds of which considered highly valuable and even sacred in many ancient cultures, starting from India. Since I met that trees on Phangan and various proves that tradition to salutate that seeds existed also in Thailand, Rudraksha became my central, flagman Mission. So most of photos below I made throw Rudraksha seeds of Phangan, as I believe that that seed let me enjoy every moment of that adventures. 

 So my prison tour consists of 1 night in Phangan cell, then 3 nights in real prison on Samui, next was +- 10 days in Bophut police station - the most awful among all, and then IDC in Bangkok as a last point, from where I had a flight 20 of March - day before Spring Equinox - ancient New Year. Of cource its good to explain - how could I appears to be in a prison for such a long time with so little reason? Me - a creator of whole bunch of successfull websites, marketer of many hotels and villas, barman in many parties and places? To say shortly - it was the only way for me to prove that I'm exist. I spend years before that in attempts to launch different innovations - improve the life of people, relations between tourists and hoteliers, heal the nature and prove the uniqueness of the island - all that using various strategies, models, working with super-professional people, contacting  all the levels of managers and officials - all that with signs of success - but only signs. I've got a reason - my daughter born on Phangan, and after looking around - island and abroad - I honestly couldn't see anybody to trust that "World will be fine" - world where my children gonna live. So, as it was no anybody else, I started to create and act by myself, expecting sooner support from others with bigger powers and abilities. You can look some of that ventures on Kalos Fund website. Despite of many miracle things, I wasn't really satisfied, as positive changes wasn't so obvious and so global as I expected. As a logical result I celebrate Great Night, which this year falls of 21 of February, in Samui prison, due to the non-ability to pay the 4000 THB - the court fine. (I asked the girl to let me call to nearest friend to bring the fine, she said "I will try" and disappeared). So below some sights from prison in Bophut police station and transfer to Bangkok IDC prison.

That's how it happens - yesterday I tried to send a most valuable gift with rarest of the island seeds to representatives of Royal Office, Her Majesty Princess Sirindhorn or Bureau of the Royal Household, and next week I'm in prison. And the unique collection of most rare island Rudraksha for 3 years research, which was enough for the whole museum or gallery, now shared among few people around the world.

20 of March my time in Kingdom ended, and accompanied with Koh Phangan tree-spirits I flew to Russia.

   Next destination was an important area, connected Russia with Scotland - village Mcury near manor "Serednikovo", where great Russian poet Lermontov wrote his immortal verses. Lermontov from old Learmonth family is the most famous Scottish of Russia, main spiritual connector of Scotland with Russian culture. As I'm a activist concept creator for the Scottish charity, I saw a clear good sign in it.
Belgorod in black earth belt was a next step.Amazing city with lots of parks and water in a center.

    Mr J isn't a newbie in property deals - for the long time he was working on Phangan radio, contacting with locals all around the island. Its wasn't a minimal-tech-house or even psy-trance radio - it was a live station with actual info for tuk-tuk drivers - who's pay better for fresh arrivals of farangs. Mr J has a van with many mirrors, and know how to use them.

Day was rainy, this time we visited 3 places -

1. 5 Rai of beach land in Hing Kong in area of Srittanu, sale;
2. 5 Rai at north of Phangan, sale;
3. View bar with pool and few floors.

However radio was closed, real estate isn't a main occupation of Mr J, and he is usually busy with other things. So to order a SHOW with him I thinking to offer it as a advance-reserved paid service, to cover gasoline and time - "Many people look, many speak, many time spent, and only some buy..." - confessed the hero.

  AFter the recent scam story with AibBnb I made a jet-dive-Inn into the villa rental picture of today, and going to get share the results of my impressions and even will try to use them for "common benefits".. The most surprising for me were following news:

• high cost of Airbbb - both parties pay 21%, no matter with bank or Paypal (even tried to get statistic, but noone else among the hosts around wanted to spend a time in calculating, what also means communication with guests);
• no any real competition among the web-companies - locals went off, and other monsters went wrong - expired-looking software of vrbo, strange admin panel of flipkey with their e-mails in spam folder,
