Living solo

This is the heart of phuketlifelog: what it's really like to live in Phuket on your own. Not tragedy, not a highlight reel — the honest daily reality of solo life in a resort place, from someone doing it. What a month actually costs in baht, which areas fit living alone, and whether you could build a good life here by yourself. (The paperwork side of being a resident — visas, insurance, licences — lives under Living here.)
