I am living here since 12 years and left Thailand for the first time (except for  VISA runs) this year.

I made a new 1 year Non-O Visa in Berlin. When I was entering Thailand in November at Phuket airport I filled out the Immigration card as always, stated my name,address and also the Number of my Non-O Visa.

Dumb as I am I havent checked the stamp imidiately after Immigration.
Yesterday I checked my PP and saw that there is only a Tourist Visa inside for 30 days.
As we all make mistakes from time to time, the immigration officer must have missed the Visa and so I am on Overstay now.....however, MY FAULT I should have checked.

I am planning to drive to the Airport today and talk to the authorities there, maybe they can help solving this problem

For your own convenience, please make sure you are ALWAYS checking your PassPorts ....I just forgot it one single time and got the receipt now....

Hi TV Forum,

I know we have at least some members here which are intresting to keep Phuket clean. Unfortunately the former so called Pearl of the Andaman
is becoming a sh1tehole more and more.

I will ask you to put some pictures of examples here in this thread or at least a story of your discoverys.
The polluting of natural enviroment in Phuket is horrendous and growing every day.

My first story comes here:

Some years ago I was living in middle of a jungle in Nai Harn area. Now the jungle is gone, ok thats the natural way of human life to make
money I guess.
4 years ago they started building a big project in the mountains of Sayuan, wunderfull for the handfull of people living in
there but a terrible view for all the others which cant see an intact mountain now anymore since they have to look at some huge white villas
and some unfinished buildings due to a building stop. Lots of trees where cut there wich are "normally" not allowed to cut here anymore but
thats normal and not the problem.

The problem is now that since about 5 or 6 month people dumping their garbage in two huge holes down at the mountain where the water support
for these nice seaview villas is coming from. The main polluter is an Elephant camp wich dumps hundreds of big black plastic bags with plastic
cans, bottles and housmade garbage and what ever they dont need anymore, even dead animals and dogs.
I get
The quality of water what people use up hill in their fine villas should be infectous in the meantime and it make my flesh crawl even thinking
about what they are using for taking a shower or brushing their teeth.

We have been at the Orbortor in Rawai and they filed a complaint, that was it I guess, noone is really intrested it seems, and Thais around are
not educated enough to understand how poisenous the water is they use for cooking or sometimes even drinking.

But what to do? Someone an idea? Will Phuket Gazette even print a story like that in times where tourism is damaged anyway?

I opened a thread some weeks ago when I was experiencing connection problems. Until today the problem in our Nai Harn area is not really solved and I would like to know if I am the only one with constantly disconections during day, evening and nighttime.

I am lucky I got internet today for about two hours. But not constant, it was disconnected always.

How does it look in your area in Phuket, if possible please state area and experience.

Thanks in advance, I will see the ToT guys on Chaofah Road on wednesday.

Hi Phuketeers,

Just want to know if I am the only one who is experiencing constantly disconnections with my ToT internet here in Phuket.

Since 4 days its absolutely terrible and it starts to pissing me extremely off  

OK, we all know that ToT service is poor anyway and they always find something or somebody to blame. In High Season its the many tourists in internetshops which are making the net slow, in Rainseason its the weather or the works for the next highseason, but this time it is absolutely terrible. I have discos every 20min, sometimes the net is back for 5min, then off again for 1-5min.

Am I the only one? Living in Rawai, Nai Harn area,

Answers appreciated, even if u write SAME HERE its better than nothing!   Planning to visit the office today.....

while typing 4 discos....and i am writing fast
