Why? I have not been there since they reopened. I have my 90 day coming up though I will try to do it online but I have never been successful with that, yet. I need a re-entry permit also. Patong is closer for me. Riding to Phuket Town is something I dread anymore.
October 10, 20178 yr 90 day report and re-entry permit should be done in Phuket Town. The aggravation of doing it in Patong far outweighs the dread of riding to Phuket Town (what about the bus?).

October 11, 20178 yr Author thanks for all the replies yes...its open n operating its not as friendly or streamlined as before. a new boss i was told. a lot of people being told to go n get more info or do things differently. my photo was rejected because the background colour wasnt white. a first for me. the copy n photo guy is just outside tho. 20 baht per page 200 baht for 6 photos hes not good with the camera...i saw a top of head cut off n my pics were half body. doubt i could use them elsewhere. the immo officer was going to reject them but as they were fresh from his guy he accepted. still...the wait for extensions was short n the whole thing done in 30mins including photos.

December 5, 20178 yr ^^Yeah, the last time I was there is was FUBAR, but it still beats driving to Phuket Town. I'll just bang my head against the wall several hundred times before I go and then it won't seem so bad. Edited December 5, 20178 yr by Coconut Kidd
December 7, 20178 yr Much better than the last time. In/out in 27 minutes compared to 75 minutes 90 days ago. Mbike parking was jammed so had to go around again and park near Banana Walk.
