Phuket has always had a low, low season.
Out of Bangers book flight, book rental car, only way to avoid the taxi mafia.
Always amazed me that the Transport Dept never intervened, or do they get a cut like the RTP?
The "tourist" area commissioners jobs of the big 8 are not cheap to obtain.
140 million Bht in these areas without pushing the barrow would take about 6 months to recoup,
this stupid commissioner just could not help himself to get richer quicker.
From memory was not the Chonburi commissioner not a "political appointment"

The man who had knock shops just down the road from schools, made millions & yes I used to visit & enjoy
now has turned goodee goodee,,,,, funny actually
So the visa issued must be activated by entering Thailand by the 12th of May.
After that time it has expired.

It is only China's support that is keeping the evil Burmese junta in power.
They have no interest in their peoples welfare in any way ,shape or form only power & money.
Human life is a commidity to be disposed of when it suits.
Anyone supporting them from offshore is not much better than an animal
